How We Protect Your Personal Data

At Global Sourcing World Ltd, we take the privacy and security of your personal data seriously. While we may store information on a spreadsheet for ease of management, we ensure that necessary precautions are in place to protect your data.

Limited Access: Access to the spreadsheet containing personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only. This helps minimise the risk of unauthorised access.

Secure Storage: The spreadsheet is stored on secured and password-protected servers. This adds an additional layer of protection to prevent unauthorised access.

Regular Audits: We conduct regular reviews and audits of our data management practices to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities. This proactive approach helps us maintain the integrity of your information.

Data Encryption: Where applicable, we use encryption methods to secure the transmission of data, adding an extra layer of protection when information is being transferred.

Employee Training: Our team undergoes training on data protection and privacy practices to ensure they understand and adhere to our policies. This training includes guidelines on handling personal data responsibly.

Data Minimisation: We only collect and store the data that is necessary for the intended purpose. Unnecessary information is not retained, reducing the risk associated with data storage.

While our current data protection measures are fundamental, we are committed to continuously improving our practices to meet the evolving landscape of data security. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle personal data, please don't hesitate to contact us.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.
