What personal data we collect and why we collect it

The personal data that we collect and why we collect it is determined by which services you use while on our website.

Service/Maintenance Requests

Our tenant service portal, maintained by TravtusAdvantage.com, collects data necessary to schedule service appointments and to conduct other business on the site. TravtusAdvantage.com has its own terms of service and privacy policy, located here: https://www.travtusadvantage.com/terms-and-privacy. Among the data collected when using this service are: your name, your apartment number and building address, your telephone number, your email address, and the nature of your request/complaint. Please refer the TravtusAdvantage.com terms of service and privacy policy for additional information.

We only collect that information so we know to whom we need to respond so we can respond to your requests/complaints/comments and, where needed, obtain your contact information to schedule service/repair appointments.

Comments

Although we do not currently allow comments on our website, should we enable this feature, we would collect the data shown in the comments form and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We know how important your personal information is to you and we take our responsibility to safeguard any personal information you provide to us seriously.

While we make reasonable attempts to protect the personally identifiable information that you share with us, no transmission over the Internet is ever 100% secure, nor is information stored electronically 100% immune from attack, so we cannot guaranty the security of information you may provide to us.

Transactions involving sensitive information occur on a secure server. You can look for the “lock” symbol at the bottom of your browser window to verify that you are on a secure server. Our secure socket layer (SSL) software uses state-of-the-art 128-bit encryption to reduce the risk that your personal and financial information can be intercepted during transmission to our server.

What data breach procedures we have in place

A personal data security breach is any event that has the potential to affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of personal data held by the Institute in any format. Personal data security breaches can happen for a number of reasons, including: the disclosure of confidential data to unauthorized individuals; loss or theft of data or equipment on which data is stored; loss or theft of paper records; inappropriate access controls allowing unauthorized use of information; suspected breach of the Institute’s IT security and Acceptable Use policies; attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems, e.g. hacking; records altered or deleted without authorization by the data owner or data custodian; viruses or other security attacks on IT equipment systems or networks; breaches of physical security e.g. forcing of doors or windows into secure room or filing cabinet containing confidential information; confidential information left unlocked in accessible areas; leaving IT equipment unattended when logged-in to a user account without locking the screen to stop others accessing information; emails containing personal or sensitive information sent in error to the wrong recipient.

We have two procedures in place for dealing with data breaches: One for reporting the data breaches and a second for managing and containing data breaches.

To prevent, and/or mitigate any possible data breach we have security software in place, malware detection and brute force attack dynamic lockout tools.

IN THE EVENT OF A DATA BREACH BEING DISCOVERED:

If a member of our staff becomes aware of an actual, potential or suspected breach of personal data security, he/she must report the incident to management immediately. Management will immediately notify the IT Department and the webhosting company for our website.

This will enable all the relevant details of the incident to be recorded consistently and communicated on a need-to-know basis to relevant staff so that prompt and appropriate action can be taken to resolve the incident.

Upon discovery and reporting of the data breach: In line with best practice, the following five steps will be followed in responding to a data security breach:

Step 1: Identification and initial assessment:
If a personal data security breach has (or is suspected of having) taken place; we will first determine: whether there was in fact a data breach; what personal data is involved in the breach; the cause of the breach; the extent of the breach (how many individuals are affected); the harms to affected individuals that could potentially be caused by the breach; and how the breach can be contained.

Step 2: Containment and Recovery:
Once it has been established that a data breach has occurred, we will take immediate and appropriate action to limit the breach.

We will determine whether there is anything that can be done to recover any losses and limit the damage the breach may cause (including physical recovery of equipment/records and the use of back-up tapes to restore lost/damaged data).

Then, we will determine if it is appropriate to notify affected individuals immediately where there is a high level of risk of serious harm to individuals).

Then, where appropriate (for example, in cases involving theft or other criminal activity), we will notify the proper authorities.

Step 3: Risk Assessment:
We will then: assess the risks and consequences of the breach:
For individuals: What are the potential adverse consequences for individuals? How serious or substantial are these consequences? How likely are they to happen?

For the Company: Strategic & Operational; Compliance/Legal Financial; Reputational; Continuity of Service Levels; we will also determine, where appropriate, what further remedial action should be taken on the basis of the incident to mitigate the impact of the breach and prevent repetition.

Step 4: Notification:
We will determine whether and how to contact individuals (data subjects) who affected by the breach; we will notify the appropriate authorities, where necessary; we will also notify the Company’s insurers and any bank(s) or credit card issuer(s) affected or potentially affected by the data breach; and outside counsel so any other required measures can be taken. We will undertake a messaging and deployment schedule for notifying those whose data was compromised, based on counsel from lawyers who will review state laws, compliance regulations, and other mandates affecting what the messaging must say and how soon notification must occur, as well as what compensation to affected victims should be provided.

Step 5: Evaluation and Response:
Finally, we will determine: What action needs to be taken to reduce the risk of future breaches and minimize their impact; whether policies procedures or reporting lines need to be improved to increase the effectiveness of the response to the breach; whether there are weak points in security controls that need to be strengthened; whether staff and users of our services aware of their responsibilities for information security and are adequately trained; and whether any additional investment in hardware or software is required to address the particular breach(es) that occurred and to reduce the risk of future recurrence(s).
