Security and Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations
Adgile places a high priority on data security and implements various measures in line with industry best practices to safeguard consumer data from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. We maintain stringent controls over all data we collect, storing it in firewalled and secured databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights. Additional security measures include encryption of personal information both at rest and in transit, strict password policies, multi-factor authentication for key systems, antivirus measures, vulnerability management policies, and the use of security technologies to prevent unauthorized activity.
Adgile maintains compliance with relevant Australian privacy laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We have established processes for handling personal data in accordance with these laws and have appointed a data protection officer to oversee compliance efforts.
In addition Adgile maintains compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have appointed a data protection officer, have a process for responding in a timely manner to data subjects seeking to exercise their rights under GDPR, and take a proactive approach to putting the necessary contractual provisions in place with our vendors and clients.
Adgile has taken a comprehensive approach to U.S. state privacy law compliance, including CCPA, CPRA and VCPDA, and will continue to monitor and adjust our approach as state laws and regulations continue to evolve, to ensure we maintain compliance. As between Adgile and its clients, Adgile is a service provider and does not “sell” or “share” personal information as contemplated under CCPA, CPRA and similar state laws.
As privacy laws and regulations are subject to change, Adgile regularly monitors its compliance status and adjusts its practices accordingly. We conduct yearly internal audits to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we remain vigilant in staying abreast of developments in the privacy landscape to adapt our approach as necessary.
