We process your personal information only when it is deemed essential and we possess a legitimate legal justification for doing so, as per relevant laws. This includes instances where we have your consent, to comply with relevant Data Protection Laws, to deliver services to you, to fulfill our contractual obligations, to safeguard your rights, or to pursue our legitimate business interests.

If you reside in the EU or UK, this section applies to you in accordance with the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR.
The EU GDPR and UK GDPR necessitate us to clarify the valid legal grounds that we rely upon to process your personal information. As a result, we may process your personal information based on the following legal foundations: 

Consent.
We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. 

Legal Obligations.
We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. 

Vital Interests.
We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you reside in Canada, this section applies to you.

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can revoke your consent at any moment.

Under certain exceptional circumstances, as per relevant Data Protection Laws, we may be legally entitled to process your information without your consent. This may include, for instance:
• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;
• For the purposes of investigations and preventing fraud;
• For conducting business transactions under specific conditions;
• If it is included in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to evaluate, handle, or resolve an insurance claim;
• For identifying individuals who are injured, sick, or deceased and communicating with their next of kin;
• If there are reasonable grounds to believe that an individual has been, is, or may be a victim of financial abuse;
• If it is plausible to assume that collecting and using the information with consent would compromise its accuracy or availability, and the collection is reasonable for the purposes of investigating a violation of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province;
• If disclosure is mandatory to comply with a court order, subpoena, warrant, or the court’s records production rules;
• If the collection is exclusively for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes;
• If the information is publicly accessible and specified by regulations;

If you reside in California, this section applies to you.

Your legal rights

You have rights under relevant Data Privacy Laws in relation to your personal data. Please see below to find out more about these rights: 

You have the right to:
• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a data subject access request). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you. If you require this, then please reach out to our support team at [email protected]. Please note that Singapore law allows us to refuse your request for access for various reasons, including where the burden or expense of providing such access would be unreasonable to us or disproportionate to your interests. Please also note that Singapore law allow us to charge an administrative fee to cover the costs of such requests. If so, we will inform you of such administrative fee beforehand. Please note that we are not required to respond to or deal with your access request unless you have agreed to pay the administrative fee.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. If you require this, then please reach out to our support team at [email protected]. Please note that Singapore law allows us to refuse your request for correction for various reasons, including where your personal data is contained in a document that is related to a prosecution if all proceedings related to the prosecution have not been completed.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with the relevant Data Protection Laws.
• Object to processing of your personal data. You have the right to object to where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: 

 (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
 (b) where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; or
 (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal       claims. 

Please note that any requests in relation to the restriction of the processing of your data mean that we may not be able to fulfill the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. 

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, which you can then transfer to an applicable third party. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided with your consent for us to use or where we used the information to carry out a contract with you. 

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide services to you.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. 

In regions such as the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), Singapore and Canada, you have enhanced control over your personal information due to the relevant Data Privacy Laws within the jurisdictions. These rights may include the ability to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, or transfer your data, as well as the option to object to its processing, in accordance with the relevant local Data Protection Laws.

We will respect and promptly address any requests you make regarding your personal information in accordance with applicable laws. If you reside in the EEA or the UK and believe we are processing your information illegally, you have the right to report the matter to your local data protection authority. 

If you wish to review or modify the information in your account, or request that your account be terminated, you may do so at any time. Upon your request to end your account, we will remove your data from our active databases. However, in some cases, we may retain some information for the purpose of fraud prevention, problem resolution, investigations, legal compliance, or to enforce our terms and conditions.

Changes to privacy policy

Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll inform you either by posting a noticeable announcement or by sending you a direct notification by email.

There may be additional terms, conditions and commitments that also govern how we collect, use and disclose your PI, which should be read with this Privacy Notice.

PI we collect about you

PI is information relating to an individual, which can be used either alone or with other sources of information to identify that individual. PI does not include information where the identity of the individual or the specific detail of the information has been removed and is therefore anonymous. Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) is a sub-category of PI that includes PI relating to race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about health and genetic and biometric data. We collect personal information about our clients and vendors to provide services and support to them.

The information we collect depends on the services we provide and our relationship with you.

  • Identification data: Full name, title, gender, marital status, date of birth, passport number, driving license number, national identification number, signature

We collect PI in relation to you in a number of ways, including:

  • when you provide it to us in connection with a AlphaGeo product or service;
  • if you are Representative of an organization or entity that is a client or vendor of AlphaGeo and that organization or entity provides us with your PI;
  • throughout the course of our relationship with you, including where you change your details, provide additional PI, or where the services we are providing to you change;
  • from public sources where you have manifestly chosen to make your PI public, including via public profiles on social media;
  • from third parties;
  • from visits to www.alphageo.ai (our “Site”) or app.alphageo.ai (“Customer Portal”) Please see our Cookie Policy for more information on this.
 

We may also create or derive PI such as creating records of your interactions with us, subject to applicable law.

Unless we otherwise indicate that the provision of specific PI is optional, any PI we request is necessary for us to provide you or your organization or entity with the products and services requested. If you do not provide the PI requested, we may not be able to provide those products and services.

International transfers and transfers to service providers

To provide global services and in the course of running our business, we may transfer PI to a location outside of the country where you reside or where services are provided to you or the organization or entity you work for. Although the country to which PI may be transferred may not have the same level of privacy and data protection laws, we apply the same level of security and organizational controls to the processing of PI wherever it is processed. We require by contract that our third party service providers processing PI on our behalf to comply with AlphaGeo’s criteria for PI processing.

Marketing and exercising your right to opt-out of marketing

We will not process your PI for marketing purposes if you have informed us you do not wish to receive marketing materials.

PI security

We use a range of physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of PI processing. These measures include:

  • education and training of relevant staff to ensure they are aware of our privacy obligations when processing PI as well as training around social engineering, phishing, spear phishing, and password risks;
  • the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
  • the ability to restore the availability and access to PI in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
  • administrative and technical controls to restrict access to PI;
  • technological security measures, including fire walls, encryption (industry standard SSL encryption with 128-bit key lengths), and anti-virus software;

  • endpoint security;
  • real-time monitoring of data leakage controls;
  • layered and comprehensive cybersecurity defenses; and
  • security incident reporting and management.
 

The security of data transmitted over the internet (including by e-mail) cannot be guaranteed and carries the risk of access and interception.

To provide global services and in the course of running our business, we may transfer PI to a location outside of the country where you reside or where services are provided to you or the organization or entity you work for. Although the country to which PI may be transferred may not have the same level of privacy and data protection laws, we apply the same level of security and organizational controls to the processing of PI wherever it is processed. We require by contract that our third party service providers processing PI on our behalf to comply with AlphaGeo’s criteria for PI processing.

Marketing and exercising your right to opt-out of marketing

We will not process your PI for marketing purposes if you have informed us you do not wish to receive marketing materials. You can request that we stop processing your PI for marketing purposes at any time by clicking on marketing opt-out links in any electronic marketing materials we send you, by making a request to your usual AlphaGeo contact or by using the contact details set out in the “Contact Us” section of this Site.

Third-party marketing/sale of PI

We do not share or sell your PI to third parties for the third party to use for their own marketing or other purposes.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our Site. If we make any modifications to this Privacy Notice in the future, we will update this page and, when applicable, send you an email notification.

To ensure that you are aware of how we are protecting your information, we suggest that you review this Privacy Notice regularly. By continuing to use our services, you acknowledge and agree to these changes.

PI retention

We will process your PI for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, reporting, internal policy requirements or for the establishment or defense of legal claims.

PI security

We use a range of physical, electronic and managerial measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of PI processing. These measures include:

  • education and training of relevant staff to ensure they are aware of our privacy obligations when processing PI as well as training around social engineering, phishing, spear phishing, and password risks;
  • the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
  • the ability to restore the availability and access to PI in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
  • administrative and technical controls to restrict access to PI;
  • technological security measures, including fire walls, encryption (industry standard SSL encryption with 128-bit key lengths), and anti-virus software;
  • application security;
  • endpoint security;
  • real-time monitoring of data leakage controls;
  • layered and comprehensive cybersecurity defenses; and
  • security incident reporting and management.
 

The security of data transmitted over the internet (including by e-mail) cannot be guaranteed and carries the risk of access and interception. You should not send us any PI by open/unsecure channels over the internet. We endeavor to protect personal information but cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us or by us.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information, including the use of encryption and secure communication protocols.

  • Correction
    To request that we update the PI we process in relation to you, or to correct PI that you think is incorrect or incomplete.
  • Erasure
    To ask that we delete the PI that we process in relation to you where we do not have a legal or regulatory obligation or other valid reason to continue to process it.
  • Restriction
    To request that we restrict the way in which we process your PI, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of your PI or have raised an objection which is under consideration.
  • Portability
    To request a copy of your PI that you have provided to us in a commonly used electronic format such as through the completion of an application form.
  • Automated decision making
    To request manual intervention if you are subject to automated decisions where the decision results in a legal or similar effect to you.
 

To the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation we reserve the right to charge an appropriate fee in connection with your exercising your rights.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access to the PI requested, or to exercise any of your other rights. This is to ensure that PI is not disclosed to any person who does not have authority to receive it. We may also request further information in relation to your request to help us to locate the PI processed in relation to you, including, for example, the nature and location of your relationship with us.

b. Controller Instructions. The parties agree that the Agreement (including this DPA), together with your use of the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement, constitute your complete Instructions to us in relation to the Processing of Personal Data, so long as you may provide additional instructions during the Subscription Term that are consistent with the Agreement, the nature and lawful use of the Subscription Service.

You are also responsible for your secure use of the Subscription Service, including protecting the security of Personal Data in transit to and from the Subscription Service (including to securely backup or encrypt any such Personal Data).

3. AlphaGeo Obligations

a. Compliance with Instructions. We will only Process Personal Data for the purposes described in this DPA or as otherwise agreed within the scope of your lawful Instructions, except where and to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. We are not responsible for compliance with any Data Protection Laws applicable to you or your industry that are not generally applicable to us.

b. Conflict of Laws. If we become aware that we cannot Process Personal Data in accordance with your Instructions due to a legal requirement under any applicable law, we will (i) promptly notify you of that legal requirement to the extent permitted by the applicable law; and (ii) where necessary, cease all Processing (other than merely storing and maintaining the security of the affected Personal Data) until such time as you issue new Instructions with which we are able to comply. If this provision is invoked, we will not be liable to you under the Agreement for any failure to perform the applicable Subscription Services until such time as you issue new lawful Instructions with regard to the Processing.

c. Security. We will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from Personal Data Breaches, as described under Annex 2 to this DPA (“Security Measures”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, we may modify or update the Security Measures at our discretion provided that such modification or update does not result in a material degradation in the protection offered by the Security Measures.

e. Personal Data Breaches. We will notify you without undue delay after we become aware of any Personal Data Breach and will provide timely information relating to the Personal Data Breach as it becomes known or reasonably requested by you. At your request, we will promptly provide you with such reasonable assistance as necessary to enable you to notify relevant Personal Data Breaches to competent authorities and/or affected Data Subjects, if you are required to do so under Data Protection Laws.

This term will apply except where we are required by applicable law to retain some or all of the Customer Data, or where we have archived Customer Data on back-up systems, which data we will securely isolate and protect from any further Processing and delete in accordance with our deletion practices. You may request the deletion of your AlphaGeo account after expiration or termination of your subscription by sending a request to [email protected]. All idle accounts are automatically deactivated after 90 days (about 3 months). If inactivity exceeds 365 days (about 12 months), the account will automatically be deleted from our systems. This is aligned with AlphaGeo’s Inactive User Management Policy as well as its Logical Access and Policy and Procedures.

4. Data Subject Requests

The Subscription Service provides you with a number of controls that you can use to retrieve, correct, delete or restrict Personal Data, which you can use to assist it in connection with its obligations under Data Protection Laws, including your obligations relating to responding to requests from Data Subjects to exercise their rights under applicable Data Protection Laws (“Data Subject Requests”).

To the extent that you are unable to independently address a Data Subject Request through the Subscription Service, then upon your written request we will provide reasonable assistance to you to respond to any Data Subject Requests or requests from data protection authorities relating to the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement. You will reimburse us for the commercially reasonable costs arising from this assistance.

If a Data Subject Request or other communication regarding the Processing of Personal Data under the Agreement is made directly to us, we will promptly inform you and will advise the Data Subject to submit their request to you. You will be solely responsible for responding substantively to any such Data Subject Requests or communications involving Personal Data.

5. Sub-Processors

You agree we may engage Sub-Processors to Process Personal Data on your behalf, and we do so in three ways. First, we may engage Sub-Processors to assist us with hosting and infrastructure. Second, we may engage with Sub-Processors to support business operations. Third, we may engage with AlphaGeo Affiliates as Sub-Processors for service and support. Some Sub-Processors will apply to you as default, and some Sub-Processors will apply only if you opt-in.

We have currently appointed, as Sub-Processors, the third parties and AlphaGeo Affiliates listed in Annex 3 to this DPA.

We will give you the opportunity to object to the engagement of new Sub-Processors on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of Personal Data within 30 days of notifying you. If you do notify us of such an objection, the parties will discuss your concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no such resolution can be reached, we will, at our sole discretion, either not appoint the new Sub-Processor, or permit you to suspend or terminate the affected Subscription Service in accordance with the termination provisions of the Agreement without liability to either party (but without prejudice to any fees incurred by you prior to suspension or termination).

Where we engage Sub-Processors, we will impose data protection terms on the Sub-Processors that provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-Processors. We will remain responsible for each Sub-Processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-Processor that cause us to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.

6. Data Transfers

You acknowledge and agree that we may access and Process Personal Data on a global basis as necessary to provide the Subscription Service in accordance with the Agreement, and in particular that Personal Data may be transferred to and Processed by AlphaGeo, Inc. in the United States and to other jurisdictions where AlphaGeo Affiliates and Sub-Processors have operations. Wherever Personal Data is transferred outside its country of origin, each party will ensure such transfers are made in compliance with the requirements of Data Protection Laws.

7. Demonstration of Compliance

We will make all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA available to you and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections conducted by you or your auditor in order to assess compliance with this DPA, where required by applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that you will exercise your audit rights under this DPA by instructing us to comply with the audit measures described in this ‘Demonstration of Compliance’ section. You acknowledge that the Subscription Service is hosted by our hosting Sub-Processors who maintain independently validated security programs (including SOC 2 and ISO 27001) and that our systems are audited annually as part of SOC 2 compliance and regularly tested by independent third party penetration testing firms. Upon request, we will supply (on a confidential basis) our SOC 2 report and summary copies of our penetration testing report(s) to you so that you can verify our compliance with this DPA.

Annex 2 – Security Measures 

We currently observe the Security Measures described in this Annex 2. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings as set forth in the General Terms.  For more information on these security measures, please refer to AlphaGeo’s Security Overview available at https://alphageo.ai/security. 

a) Information Security Policy

We maintain and adhere to an internal, written Information Security Policy. You can visit httsp://alphageo.ai/security, which provides an overview of our security standards.  

b) Access Control

i) Preventing Unauthorized Product Access

Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors. 

Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. We do not own or maintain hardware located at the outsourced infrastructure providers’ data centers. Production servers and client-facing applications are logically and physically secured from our internal corporate information systems. The infrastructure providers’ physical and environmental security controls are audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications. 

Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data. 

Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of our products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set. 

Application Programming Interface (API) access: Product APIs may only be accessed using private app tokens. 

ii) Preventing Unauthorized Product Use

We implement industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products. 

Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules. 

Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer accounts and data. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services. 

Static code analysis: Code stored in our source code repositories is checked for best practices and identifiable software flaws using automated tooling. 

Endpoint Hardening: Endpoints are hardened in accordance with industry standard practice. Workstations are protected using anti-malware and endpoint detection & response tools, receiving regular definition and signature updates. 

iii) Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements 

Privileged Access Management: Privileged access in our product environment is controlled, monitored, and removed in a timely fashion through “just in time access” (or “JITA”) controls. Non-personal accounts used for system access are stored in a secure vault with additional controls governing privilege elevation and account check out processes. 

Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, product development and research, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through JITA requests for access; all such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are initiated daily. Administrative or high risk access permissions are reviewed at least once every six months. 

c) Transmission Control

In-transit: We require HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) on all login interfaces and for free on every customer site hosted on the AlphaGeo products. Our HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates. 

At-rest: We store user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. We take a layered approach of at-rest encryption technologies to ensure Customer data and Customer-identified Permitted Sensitive Data are appropriately encrypted. 

d) Incident Management, Logging, and Monitoring

Incident Response Plan: We maintain a written Incident Response Plan and other necessary processes and procedures to fulfill the standards and obligations reflected therein. 

Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregate log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Our personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents. 

Response and tracking: We maintain a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, we will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure. Notification to you will be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  

e) Availability Control

Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) services. 

Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. Customer data is backed up to multiple durable data stores and replicated across multiple availability zones. 

Online replicas and backups: Where feasible, production databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary instance. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods. 

Disaster Recovery Plans: We maintain and regularly test disaster recovery plans to help ensure availability of information following interruption to, or failure of, critical business processes. 

Our products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists our operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime. 

f) Vulnerability Management Program

Vulnerability Remediation Schedule: We maintain a vulnerability remediation schedule aligned with industry standards. We take a risk-based approach to determining a vulnerability’s applicability, likelihood, and impact in our environment.  

Vulnerability scanning: We perform daily vulnerability scanning on our products using technology and detection standards aligned with industry standards. 

Penetration testing: We maintain relationships with industry-recognized penetration testing service providers for penetration testing of both the AlphaGeo web application and internal corporate network infrastructure at least annually. The intent of these penetration tests is to identify security vulnerabilities and mitigate the risk and business impact they pose to the in-scope systems. 

g) Personnel Management

We staff qualified personnel to develop, maintain, and enhance our security program. We train all employees on security policy, processes, and standards relevant to their role and in accordance with industry practice. 

Background checks: Where permitted by applicable law, AlphaGeo employees undergo a third-party background or reference check. In the United States, employment offers are contingent upon the results of a third-party background check. All AlphaGeo employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
