What is our Privacy Policy regarding children?
ICC is very sensitive to privacy issues and we are especially careful in any communications with one of our most treasured customers - children. ICC would never collect personal data from children directly, without the parent's consent. Personal data collected from children is used solely by ICC or other entities that provide technical, fulfillment or other services to ICC. For example, such entities may provide services, such as, improving our web sites, and fulfilling requests or administering promotions. This personal data is not sold. Meanwhile, we urge parents to regularly monitor and supervise their children's on-line activities.
How do we protect your data?
We take reasonable steps to make sure that your personal data we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
We strictly enforce our Privacy Policy within the ICC and we have implemented technological, organizational and physical security measures to protect your information we hold from loss, misuse, modification, unauthorized or accidental access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. We put in effect safeguards such as the following:
- We keep and protect your personal data using secured servers behind a firewall, deploying encryption on computing devices and physical security controls.
- We restrict access to your personal data only to qualified and authorized personnel who hold your personal data with strict confidentiality.
- Any personal data that you provide is initially processed and stored by ICC. Using a secured connection, only authorized ICC personnel can then access and download your personal data from the system.
Where and how long do we keep your data?
ICC reserves the right to retain your personal data on our files located in the Philippines under certain circumstances such as when your personal data may be necessary to resolve disputes, or if ICC is required to do so by law or in the good faith; provided that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation and/or protect and defend the rights or property of ICC or its affiliates.
If ICC is required to retain any portion of your personal data for such purposes, it shall use reasonable efforts to limit such data to what is necessary to accomplish the particular purpose.
What if there are changes in our Privacy Policy?
From time to time, it may be necessary for ICC to change this Privacy Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version on our website http://home.interfacecollege.org/ and will take effect immediately, so we suggest that you check our website periodically for the most up-to-date version of our Privacy Policy. Rest assured, however, that any changes will not be retroactively applied and will not alter how we handle previously collected personal data without obtaining your consent, unless required by law.
