• We have your consent, for example you requested through ChaseBuzz that a certain Information and Communication Technology (ICT) company, which published certain Success Story, Case Study, Podcast, Video Testimonial, Business Value Analysis Study or some other type of Customer Story, contact you.

• We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of ChaseBuzz, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.

If ChaseBuzz becomes a subject of a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal and company information involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal and company information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Information Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to data or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, including appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal and company data. We restrict access to personal and company information to ChaseBuzz employees, contractors and agents who need to know certain information in order to process it on our behalf. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution if they fail to meet these obligations.

5. Accessing and Updating Personal and Company Information

When you use ChaseBuzz services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal, company and Customer Story information, either to correct this data if it is inaccurate, or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or that would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning the information stored on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, unless doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Because of the way we maintain certain services, after you delete your information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems.
