Disclosures and Sharing of Information

As a matter of policy, We do not sell or rent any of your information to third parties for any advertising or marketing purposes. However, the following describes some of the ways that We may disclose your information in the normal course of providing Our services.

Legal Requests & Compliance with Laws

We reserve the right to disclose information as required by law or regulation and when We believe that disclosure is necessary to protect Our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. Notwithstanding any provisions herein, We may disclose Personal Data to governmental authorities when required or reasonably requested to do so by such governmental authorities. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent that it is in conflict with any law that may be applicable to the Personal Data of a Data Subject.

Processing of Personal Data Outside EU and Switzerland

Nevis Systems processes Personal Data on behalf of its clients (“Customers”), that has been collected by or on behalf of those Customers including Personal Data received from the European Union. “Personal Data” or “Personal Data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable person. With the objective to validate transfers of Personal Data under European data protection laws to countries outside EU and Switzerland we are making available the European Commission’s controller-to-processor standard contractual clauses, commonly referred to as “model clauses” (in the form adopted by decision 2010/87/EU of 5 February 2010 and with Appendices 1 2. Any Customer of Nevis Systems who undertakes processing activities on the Nevis Systems platform (in respect of Personal Data which is governed by the European data protection laws), should contact support@world-text.com for more details.

Disclosure of Information to Nevis Systems Affiliates

Because Nevis Systems is a global company, We may share your information with other Nevis Systems affiliates and business units in other parts of the world in order to provide you with Our services. Your Personal Data may be transferred by Us from your home country to Nevis Systems employees in Nevis Systems offices around the world, who may communicate with you regarding your enquiry. Please understand that We limit access to your Personal Data to only those Nevis Systems employees who We believe need access in order to provide services to you or to otherwise perform their duties.

Data Processor

As Data Processor, Nevis Systems will only process Personal Data pursuant to the instructions of the applicable Customer (for example where We act as a Data Processor in relation to the processing activities of Customers on Our platform). Nevis Systems may use the services of third party Data Processors to process Personal Data in accordance with purposes identified for such Personal Data by the applicable Customer (including but not limited to the provision of services). Nevis Systems will not be responsible for determining the authenticity of any purported Data Subject’s request to access his or her Personal Data. In the absence of express instructions to do so from the applicable Customer, Nevis Systems will not provide a purported Data Subject with access to his or her Personal Data unless it is demonstrated to Nevis Systems’s satisfaction that the applicable Data Controller has refused such access.

Data Controller

As Data Controller, Nevis Systems receives Personal Data about Our business contacts. Nevis Systems owns and controls such Personal Data as stated in this Privacy Policy. In parallel and in accordance with Recital 47 of the European Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC (as amended from time to time of replace by other EU regulation), We shall act as an independent Data Controller with respect to the processing of Personal Data which is necessary for the operation of Our service which shall include any information processed for the purpose of the conveyance of a communication on an electronic communications network or for the billing thereof.

HIPAA

From time to time, Nevis Systems provides messaging services to health care providers, and serves as a “Business Associate” (as that term is defined pursuant to HIPAA Regulations) to such providers in relation to the handling of protected health information (“PHI”) that is made a part of Our services.

De-Identification

Nevis Systems may de-identify or depersonalise data into anonymised and aggregate data that it derives from Customers (“Anonymous Data”). Anonymous Data means data that includes no Personal Data or unique identifiers that could later be used to refer to the Personal Data to which the data was once associated. Nevis Systems uses only Anonymous Data in performing analyses, and may disclose Anonymous Data to its Customers who have requested such analyses and to third parties where We are contractually entitled to do so.

This Site Is Not For The Use By Children

Protecting the privacy of children is important to Nevis Systems. For that reason, the Site is structured specifically to not attract anyone under 16, nor do We collect or maintain Personal Data on the Site from those who Nevis Systems actually knows are under 16. If Nevis Systems learns or is notified that it has collected information from users under the age of 16, Nevis Systems will immediately delete such Personal Data.

Opt-Out

We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your Personal Data used for certain purposes, when We ask for this information. For example, if you register with Us but no longer wish to receive Our newsletters and/or related communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing Us at support@world-text.com.

Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised or unlawful processing of your Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your Personal Data. Nevis Systems uses industry-standard security measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of any Personal Data it owns or processes on behalf of Customers, including, in appropriate circumstances, the use of firewalls, restricted access, and encrypted transmissions. Nevis Systems limits access to Personal Data to those persons in Nevis Systems’s organisation who have a business need to process such Personal Data. However, no company, including Nevis Systems, can fully eliminate the security risks associated with such Personal Data. Due to factors beyond Nevis Systems’s control, Nevis Systems cannot ensure that Personal Data will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, Nevis Systems may become legally obligated to disclose such data, or, despite precautions, third parties may circumvent security measures to intercept or access such data.

Disclaimer

We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other Personal Data will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), We may be forced to disclose Personal Data to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your Personal Data that they collect from the Site. Nevis Systems does not review, comment upon, or monitor its Customers’ compliance with their respective privacy policies, nor does Nevis Systems review Customer instructions to determine whether they are in compliance or conflict with the terms of a Customer’s published privacy policy.

Third Parties

Please be advised this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Nevis Systems does not own or control, or to people that Nevis Systems does not employ or manage. This includes links to other websites on the Site as well as any companies from whom you may have ordered services or products that are transmitted over Nevis Systems’ network, and any companies from whom you may be purchasing telecommunications services. Nevis Systems recommends that you be aware when you leave the Site and read the terms of use and privacy policies of any site, product or service that collects Personal Data.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

If We make changes to this Privacy Policy, We will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Site and other places We deem appropriate. All such changes shall be binding on you 30 days after they are initially posted on the Site unless you are a new user, in which case they are binding on you immediately.

Acquisitions

If another company acquires Nevis Systems or its assets, that company will (a) process that Personal Data held by Nevis Systems, and (b) assume the rights and obligations regarding such Personal Data described in this Privacy Policy.
