Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At Uncovered Businesses, we understand the sensitive nature of the information you share with us. Your privacy is paramount, and we are committed to protecting it. This policy outlines how we handle your data when you submit a report.
Information Collection and Use
The personal and case-related information you provide through our contact form is collected solely for the purpose of **investigating your report and ensuring accountability** as outlined in our Uncovering Process. We only collect data that is directly relevant and necessary for us to pursue your case effectively.
- Your contact details (name, email, phone) are used to communicate with you regarding your report.
- Details about the company and the misconduct are used for investigative purposes.
- We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, or any purpose unrelated to your specific case.
Data Retention and Security
We retain your data only for as long as necessary to complete our investigation, facilitate resolution, and ensure accountability for the reported misconduct. Once a case is closed and no further action is required, or if the data is no longer relevant, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
We implement robust security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your data is stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel directly involved in case management.
