Windowscircle uses reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards to help protect the Salary Collected Data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. For example, when a customer places an order online through any of windowscircle’s Websites, the customer’s credit card, personal information, employee and related account information is protected through the use of a secure encryption such as the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) protocol. Windowscircle.com also requires that its suppliers protect such information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure.

Windowscircle will respond to requests for access within 30 days.
Windowscircle may retain the Collected Data for as long as you have a subscription to the Service, as it may be useful in order to potentially contact you about the Service, other services, products, or offerings, or as required by law or reasonably necessary for Salary to comply with any legal obligations, or enforce its rights or resolve disputes.

Last, California law prohibits any form of retaliation or discrimination against a California resident who exercises any of the above rights.
