Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

We are committed to taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal information that we hold from misuse, disclosure, alteration, unauthorised access or destruction. We do this by having in place a range of appropriate technical and organisational measures including but not limited to, secure hosting of our website, virus and malware protections, using an SSL certificate, compliance with PCI vulnerability standards, securing access to our site via a Website Application Firewall (WAF) and procedures in place to deal with any suspected data breach.

Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with secure server software (SSL) with 128-bit encryption: the industry standard for secure commercial transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the internet.  When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.  Additionally, our choice of payment provider allows us to never hold your credit card details on our website.

Non-sensitive personal details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us; any transmission is at your own risk.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to ensure its security on our systems and try to prevent any unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

How long we keep your information

We only keep your personal information for as long as you are a customer of Rivmedia/Hireavwcalifornia.co.uk, unless we believe in good faith that the law or other regulation requires us to preserve it (for example, because of our obligations to tax authorities or in connection with any anticipated litigation).  Note that we are required under UK tax law to keep your basic personal data (name, address, contact details) for a minimum of six (6) years after which time it will be destroyed.

If you consent to marketing, the information we use for this purpose will be kept with us until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive this information.

Any other information you provide to us is deleted from our secure servers once we have completed our contractual obligations towards you.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations.  We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and we are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website.

This privacy policy applies only to our website‚ so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.
