Safeguarding your personal data

Security of your personal data

Heinz Marketing maintains safeguards which include technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized use, access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we require the third parties we contract with to support Heinz Marketing’s business operations to employ reasonable security measures as well. Our IT partners update and test security on an ongoing basis and restrict access to your personal data to only those who need to know in order to provide products, content or services to you.

Storage of your personal data

Your personal data may be stored internally on secure server drives or by third parties, via cloud services or other technology, with which Heinz Marketing has contracted, to support our business operations. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal data other than for cloud storage and retrieval, and we require such parties to employ at least the same level of security that we use to protect your personal data.
