Protection of your Personal Information

Your privacy is important to us. Therefore it is stored in the same secure way as we store the financial information we process for you. All access to and transport of the information is encrypted and goes through our multi-tier communication API’s so there is no direct access to this storage.

In most Solutions, You can directly change most contact information by logging on to the User Portal and managing your profile directly. For certain Solutions, changes may be requested by calling SDS customer support.

If you are unable to correct, update, or delete your personal information due to the fact that you are no longer an employee of the business that is the account holder, or your account has been terminated, you may contact the SDS customer support. In each case, SDS will take reasonable measures to accommodate your request or respond in writing with the legal basis for denying the request within thirty (30) days.

Data Retention

SDS will store Personal Information in active databases for varying lengths of time depending upon the specific Solution, type of data, and applicable law. Due to the close integration of data with the Solution, Personal Information might be stored by SDS in backup logs and files for the duration necessary for legal requirements or the purposes described in this policy. However, SDS makes no commitment to indefinitely store such data.
