  5. Security

    Cavecreek uses commercially reasonable methods to keep collected data safe, including policies, procedures, employee training, physical access, and technical elements relating to data access controls. Standard security protocols and mechanisms are used to facilitate the exchange and transmission of sensitive data, like credit card details. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is not processed in a way that is incompatible for the purposes it is collected for and authorized by the individual to be used for. Cavecreek will notify individuals affected due to actual or reasonably suspected breach by an unauthorized person in accordance with applicable law by email or Client Portal ticket, and, failing that, by regular mail promptly and consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and measures necessary for Cavecreek or law enforcement to determine the scope of the breach and ensure/restore the integrity of the data system. Notification may be delayed if Cavecreek or a law enforcement agency determines that notification will impede a criminal investigation, in which case notification is not provided unless and until Cavecreek or the agency determines that the investigation will not be compromised by the investigation.
