Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However please note that if you refuse the use of cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Information Collected When You Volunteer Information

During your visit to this website, you may elect to submit a message to us via a Contact Form. You will be entering information into Cyber Associates HTTPS secured pages which Cyber Associates is bound to keep confidential under US, UK, EU and Singapore Privacy Law. Cyber Associates encrypts any information you share with us using TLS/SSL so that information cannot be easily intercepted, but more about that later…

Email

During your visit to this website, you may send an encrypted email massage to Cyber Associates via a Comment Form. Your email address and the contents of your message will be collected. Your name, time zone / geographic location, phone number, email address and the information included in your message will be used to respond to you. Your email address and other contact details are not collected for commercial purposes and Cyber Associates is not authorized to sell or otherwise disclose your this information for commercial purposes.

Although the system regards all messages it receives from users as confidential, please be advised that because the Internet is a public domain, messages sent to us outside of a Cyber Associates TLS / SSL encrypted web page (signified by HTTPS in the address bar), can and may be intercepted or accessed by a third party.

DATA SECURITY

The Cyber Associates website contains links to other websites for your information and convenience. Cyber Associates has no control over the privacy practices or the content of such other websites. Please review the privacy information provided by these sites.

The responsibility for the content and accuracy of information on sites accessed by linking from our website rests with those entities providing you with information. This includes any responsibility for updating information upon which visitors may rely. The inclusion of links from this site to others does not imply any endorsement by Cyber Associates of any product, service or vendor. Any mention of products, services, or vendors is for informational purposes only.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession.

To help ensure that your information is protected and only available to you, Cyber Associates uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and third-party certification.

SSL Protocol provides a method that encrypts information passed between the Cyber Associates server(s) and your browser to prevent others from accessing your information. This method uses a “challenge handshake” (or other such secure handshake authentication) and public/private key encryption on both sides (the server and the client) to help ensure that only your browser can translate the information being sent by Cyber Associates.

Third-party certification refers to a neutral third-party who has verified the authenticity of a website and has issued the owner(s) of that website a unique certificate. The Cyber Associates website employs an SSL/TLS certificate issued by DigCert Inc. and verified by Google Trust Services conforming to TLS version 1.2 and employing Advanced Encryption Standard AES128 and Cryptographic Hash Algorithm SHA256 to secure traffic over the Internet.

While we do our utmost to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Cyber Associates web site and its data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store with us, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards. If you believe your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact us via the Contact section.

If we learn of a security systems breach, we will inform you of the occurrence of the breach in accordance with applicable law.
