Where and How We Store Your Personal Information; Data Security
NOTE TO EUROPEAN USERS: If you connect to our Websites or otherwise access our Websites from the European Union, please note that the Personal Information that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It will also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. This may include staff engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your Personal Information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Iteris makes reasonable efforts in protecting your Personal Information from unauthorized access through the use of network firewalls, physical security, and administrative measures. Iteris also utilizes Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) as a data hosting provider and to securely store Personal Information, including secured networking, encryption, and best security practices. We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of, users’ information. We restrict access to your Personal Information to our employees, contractors, consultants and third-party service providers and strategic partners who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our products and services and to fulfill the purpose for which you provided your Personal Information. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for mutual authentication, data encryption and data integrity. While no computer is 100% safe from outside attacks, we believe that the steps we have taken to protect your Personal Information drastically reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of information involved.
