DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY POLICY

Good privacy is good business. Good privacy practices are a key part of corporate governance and accountability. One of today’s key business imperatives is maintaining the privacy of personal information. As business systems and processes become increasingly complex and sophisticated, organizations are collecting growing amounts of personal information. As a result, personal information is vulnerable to a variety of risks, including loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorized disclosure.

CIM is trying to strike a balance between the proper collection and use of our customers’ personal information and has drafted this policy in compliance with FIDI’s requirement.

 

MANAGEMENT

The privacy of our customers is an important subject. We do not ask for information that is irrelevant or not needed for the services that we provide.

The information contains:

  • Any other information relating to any individual which client have provided us in any forms client may have submitted to us, or via other form of interaction with client.
