Security and Data Retention
To protect your privacy and information, TML Business uses multiple security procedures and practices to protect from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification and disclosure of Personal Information of users.
When you enter Personal Information on our Site and Application, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). SSL creates a secured connection between our web servers and your browser, which protects against unauthorized access to transmitted data and supports data being sent only to intended recipients.
Your Personal Information is password protected and our main servers are locked and hosted by a leading provider of Internet access to enterprises with mission-critical Internet application requirements. Access to the host environment is secure.
Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to TML Business. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your TML Business Account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited email or telephone communication.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Site and Application, you can contact us at admin@tmlbusiness.com.
Note that we will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Site and Application in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
Sharing personal email addresses, phone numbers, Skype/IM usernames or any other personal contact details.
All communications, information and files exchanged should be performed exclusively using TML Business’s messaging system. The main reason this it is required is to keep communications and transactions on TML Business is for your safety. The internet industry has traditionally been inundated with risk and uncertainty. TML Business is a new form of communications. For this community to thrive, security and trust must be maintained for all users. This is only possible through maintaining initial conversations within the TML Business application. Protecting our users’ privacy is of critical concern for everyone on the TML Business team. To protect our users’ privacy, personal information should be kept anonymous. Requesting or providing email addresses, skype/IM usernames or other personal contact details (other than your name) are strictly prohibited. TML Business’s Call Back service and User Inboxes are designed to enable communication between all users.
