Storage and Security
Chart.blue takes every reasonable precaution to protect our Users' sensitive information - including Personal Information and payment information - from loss, theft, copying, unauthorized disclosure, use, or modification. When Users submit sensitive information via the Site, that information is protected both online and offline.
Chart.blue conforms to the PCI compliance guidelines for safe transmission of payment information. Payment information (i.e., credit card numbers) are never sent or stored on our servers. Instead, they are transmitted directly to payment processor website.
We also protect our Users' sensitive Personal Information, specifically their user IDs, passwords, and contact information using industry-standard SSL encryption. We also do everything in our power to protect User information offline. All of our Users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need to see the information to perform their jobs are allowed access. The servers that store Personal Information are located in a secure environment in a locked facility. Regular backups of private information are kept under lock and key. All employees are briefed regularly on our privacy policy and practices.
Technical safeguards (including, but not limited to, dedicated firewall computers, passwords, and encryption) are in place to minimize as much as possible the disclosure of sensitive and private User information. We also limit staff access and their ability to enter or view information in the Site based upon their role in your case.
Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet and no method of data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security. You are responsible for keeping the User ID and password you use for accessing our Site and its services confidential. We ask you not to share it with anyone. We strongly recommend that you do not re-use an existing password as the password for your Chart.blue account.
When you use our Site on your computing device, your information may be stored locally on that device as well. We cannot guarantee the security of such locally-stored information.
We reserve the right to retain information collected about you indefinitely for business, legal, or tax purposes. However, we strive to retain this information for only as long as it is necessary for the above purposes, and to destroy it afterwards to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to this information.
Minors
We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under 13 years of age. Nor do we authorize Users who are less than 13 years old to use the Site. If we learn from the individual or from the individual's parent or legal guardian that we have collected Personal Information about a person under the age of 13, we will delete their Personal Information from our systems within a commercially reasonable period of time.
