Privacy Policy Information
as of November 4, 2022

When you visit a Rolling Wedge, LLC web site, we collect and store information about your visit. We may also engage other companies to do this on our behalf. Examples of the kind of information we, or third parties we engage, track include which pages you view on our site, the site you visited just before coming to ours, keywords you used in your search, your company name and the name of your Internet service provider. We use this information to develop ideas for improving our site, our products and services and for better marketing of our products and services. We do not make any attempts to link this information with you as an individual.

There are also various forms on our web site that ask for personal information about you, such as your name, phone number, and e-mail address. If you tell us any personal information, we use it only to contact you in response to your request or to provide you with information that we think you may be interested in receiving. If you inform us that you do not want to receive any information that you have not specifically requested, we will honor your request. We will not sell or otherwise disclose your information to any other company.

At Rolling Wedge our Data Privacy and Records Management Policy is a commitment to protecting the privacy of associates, client and web and social media site visitor personal data. Rolling Wedge makes every reasonable effort to protect the privacy of data collected when individuals visit our sites.

Rolling Wedge employs professional security personnel and takes technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of privacy data collected via Rolling Wedge sites. We try to be both selective and proactive in checking the security background for certain external social media sites and other sites that we come in contact with but do not control. Rolling Wedge has been in business since 2022 and has experience in operating highly secured data repositories with security controls that are continuously updated to meet industry standards and address protective measures for emerging threats. Security practices are described in detail in our internal information technology (IT) policies and procedures.


As a Rolling Wedge site visitor does the “GDPR”, and other similar data privacy and records management requirements apply to my data?

Companies within the EU, or who are externally located controllers and processors of the personal privacy data of EU residents in the context of collecting privacy data while soliciting and providing goods or services, will need to comply with the GDPR. Rolling Wedge has adopted the GDPR as our worldwide standard for data privacy. As a Rolling Wedge site visitor, we do collect your business contact information. However, we may also collect or process privacy data for the purpose of providing additional services. We are very aware that combining multiple data elements, even if not considered personal data when taken alone, may result in them being considered personal privacy data when combined into a listing.

We may move your data within or to locations outside of the European Economic Area (EAA). These data transfers are legal under the GDPR as long as we adhere to the requirements for legal processing. We encrypt all data in transit and in storage.

Rolling Wedge has evaluated our obligations under the GDPR, in part, based on: (1) the type of visitor data that we collect via our sites, and (2) the legal basis on which you rely for the protection of your data. We will exercise data privacy stewardship on all of our sites.


How will my personal information be used and shared by Rolling Wedge for internal management of their sites?

The personal information we collect in our various sites allows us to:

  • respond to your inquiries;

  • provide the information, products and services you have requested;

  • verify your identity and details of your payment method or credit card amount;

  • administer our sites and provide user services;

  • meet legal, regulatory and compliance requirements;

  • monitor and analyze the use of any account to prevent, investigate and/or report fraud, terrorism, misrepresentation, security incidents or crime;

  • gather management information to form statistical and trend analysis;

  • communicate with you;

  • investigate any complaints about our sites;

  • personalize your experience of the sites;

  • contact you about our products and services which we think might be of interest to you (where we have the appropriate permissions to do so);

  • employ the services of third party service providers to help us in certain areas, such as site hosting, maintenance and call center operation. In some cases, the third party may receive your information. However, at all times we use third parties, we will control and be responsible for the use of your information and place contractual requirements on privacy data shared with our sub-processors.

  • If you provide a credit or debit card, we may also use third parties to check the validity of the sort code, account number and card number you submit in order to prevent fraud as well as to process any transaction you attempt via the website.

  • If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, we will follow legal processes if details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies. Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information. We and other organizations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example when:

    • checking details in applications for credit and credit related or other facilities

    • managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities

    • recovering debt

    • checking details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance

    • checking details of job applicants and associates.

 

Where does Rolling Wedge store my privacy information?

Rolling Wedge stores privacy data in data centers in the United States, Europe, South America and Oceana. These are certified centers: SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO (International Standards Organization) 27001. (SOC – Service Organization Controls reports (1-3) of the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants). ISO 27001 is one of the most recognized worldwide information technology security standards. SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402 – 22451 and PCI – Data 2334 Security Standard (SSAE – Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (#16 & 18), PCI – Payment Card Industry, Data Security Standard ((PCI-DSS)).

 

What constitutes personal privacy data?

Any personal information related to a natural person (called a ‘data subject’ by the GDPR) that can be used to directly or indirectly identify the person when not encrypted and used individually or in combinations to create a profile.

Personal privacy data is a very broad range of personal information and can be any information item that might be used to create a profile beyond what Rolling Wedge considers basic business contact information of name, business address, business phone, business email and business title or business job. Personal privacy information would be: an identifiable photo; identifiable voice recordings; fingerprints; biometric data; a personal email address, home phone number, home address; numbered identifiers – bank account, credit information and credit card, passport, country identification and driver’s license numbers and social security; family member information; medical information; political opinions; sex, sexual preferences; computer IP address; data on children; travel profiles; trade union membership; criminal records. Some countries consider some of these listed items as Sensitive Personal Identification Information (SPII).

 

What is the difference between a data processor and a data controller?

  • A controller is the entity that determines the purposes, conditions and means of the processing of personal data. A controller can be a processor. A site owner is a controller.

  • A data processor is an entity which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • Rolling Wedge is a controller and/ or a processor at varying times in our conduct of business.

 

Is Rolling Wedge a data processor or data controller in regard to my personal data?

Rolling Wedge acts as a data controller and in some cases is also a processor (or sub-processor) for personal data provided to Rolling Wedge through our customers, by individuals and other third parties such as partners.

If you as a data subject provide your personal data directly to Rolling Wedge (such as a site visitor, a forum or conference attendee, a site browser, etc.) Rolling Wedge acts as the data controller for that personal data. Note, if Rolling Wedge also processes that personal data in some fashion, Rolling Wedge also qualifies as a data processor in regard to that personal data.

 

Is Rolling Wedge organized to manage the data processor obligations imposed by the GDPR and other similar laws and regulations?

Rolling Wedge established a Data Protection and Records Management Committee and appointed Data Protection Officers (DPOs) to manage the program and comply with the GDPR. The Committee is tasked with instituting Rolling Wedge’s internal data privacy compliance initiatives.

For Rolling Wedge, keeping site visitor data secure is a high priority. Along with ensuring data security, it is important that a site visitor’s confidence is always maintained and a high level of security around processes and protection is strongly administered.

At Rolling Wedge, we strongly value and base our business on the trust that our site visitors, associates and customers have placed upon us. We will continue to earn and reinforce that trusted relationship by cooperating with requests related to our GDPR and other country data privacy obligations.

Rolling Wedge LLC is committed to taking advanced measures to support and continuously enhance the security of our systems, to ensure that we collect and process personal data in a manner compliant with GDPR or any similar legislation.

Rolling Wedge management strongly believes that information technology security/compliance is a key business service. Information security objectives and strategy must be continually aligned with Rolling Wedge’s business strategy and objectives.

 

When does Rolling Wedge delete client data?

Rolling Wedge deletes client data, including backups based on our records management schedule. In some cases that can be shortly after you leave one of our sites. Web and social media privacy information is deleted after you finish browsing or have opted out of receiving our communications or you have been unresponsive to our inquiry messages for a period of time. If you acknowledge our site use rules to continue browsing or you agree when specifically requested to opt-in your information is transferred to our secure customer relations management database. In some cases we are legally and/ contractually required to keep some data for more extended periods of time consistent with the lawful processing provisions of the GDPR. Data is held in various categories in our records management deletion schedules. These data retention categories range from nearly immediate up to seven (7) years unless there is a longer legal requirement. For more information about data retention times please contact us.

 

Does Rolling Wedge provide clients with the option to delete client data?

Rolling Wedge supports the deletion of client data; however, such a request needs to be in writing and needs to be done in conjunction with Rolling Wedge’s Technical Support team in the event it is not a temporary storage item like non-persistent web and social media cookies.
