Privacy Policy

1. PRIVACY POLICY

Auritas recognizes the importance of privacy and sensitivity of personal information. As handlers of data, we have a professional obligation to keep confidential all classified information we receive from data subjects.

Auritas is committed to protecting any personal information/data that is collected, held, processed, or used by Auritas during provision of our services or product. The Auritas Global Privacy Policy (“Policy”) outlines how we manage personal information of employees, stake holders (both internal & external), and all personnel directly or indirectly involved and safeguard their privacy.

Auritas is responsible for the personal information we handle. To ensure our accountability, we have developed this Policy and trained our employees, contractors, agents and all third parties about our policies and practices. We reserve the right to modify this Policy from time to time.

If we make any material changes, we will notify you by updating the Policy on our website prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

2. DEFINITIONS

Data Subject is an identified or identifiable natural person(s). Data subjects are human beings from whom or about whom you collect information in connection with our business and its operations.

Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”,”you”,”your”,”their”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of Personal Data relating to him or her.
