Privacy policy

TUSCO Co., LTD is committed to protecting the privacy of all information we collect from our clients and from research participants. This policy applies to all client and personal information that we collect or use in the course of conducting our business. This policy covers all client information and research participant data housed at any TUSCO facility or stored on the TUSCO network. Anyone at TUSCO who has access to such information or data must follow this policy.

This Privacy Statement also applies to personal data that TUSCO receives from the European Union (EU). TUSCO (www.tusco.hk) abides by the principles of the Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the EU.

Client Information

We treat all information we receive from clients as confidential and do not use the information for any purpose other than to fulfill our obligations to clients. We keep client information secure at all times, and prevent the use and disclosure of it by our employees or any third parties.

Research Participant Information

All responses to our research are completely confidential. We collect data in our studies for research purposes only, and our use of that information will be limited to that purpose. Research participant answers will not be used by any entity as an aid for sales.

Research participation is voluntary and sample members always have the opportunity to decline involvement or to «opt out» of the research after agreeing to participate. We do not collect personal information without research participant consent. All studies provide a toll-free contact number or an email address to decline participation.

We do not rent, sell or give personal information to any third party for the purpose of directly marketing any products or services. In some cases we may need to share personal information with third parties that provide research services in support of the research project. Any third party that receives personal information is obligated to follow all of the same privacy protection regulations as followed by TUSCO.

At their request, we give research participants access to the personal information we have collected about them. We correct any information that is inaccurate or incomplete, change their consent status, or have their personal information deleted.

Children

We do not contact children under the age of 18 without consent from a parent or guardian.

Opt Out Policy

If you wish to be removed from TUSCO’ email or phone contact lists.

Information Security

We maintain all necessary physical, electronic and procedural security measures to help safeguard client data and personal information. Third parties that provide us with support or services may also receive client data or personal information, and we require them to maintain security measures similar to ours with respect to such information.

Data Integrity

TUSCO will take reasonable steps to ensure the personal data is accurate, complete, current and relevant, being used only for the intended purposes.

Enforcement

TUSCO will conduct an annual self-assessment to ensure that it complies with the seven Principles of Safe Harbor. TUSCO will review internal processes deployed to monitor compliance with the Principles.

TUSCO will also annually self-certify with the US Department of Commerce as being in compliance with the Safe Harbor principles.
