Handling of private information or corporation information provided during registration

tele-net makes use of data-bases which can be accessed via the internet in order to store and access customer’s private information in order to enable a fast and effective service. Even in such cases, we prioritize the security of the customer’s private information.

In these situations, it is important that both the server and the user are protected from any potential data leaks.

Currently, the internet utilizes IPv4 and IPv6 protocols to communicate, however, as encryption is not regulated, bad actors can use line monitoring or computers to view data that is being transferred. The further away the two points being connected are, the more relay sites must be used to connect them together. It is impossible to know which relays are being used to connect, and as such the chance of a bad actor stealing data increase, making it hard to truly be able to trust the route.

To ensure the privacy is maintained, new measures are constantly needed to ensure that the security between tele-net and the customer is protected.

tele-net therefore makes use of the latest technology and prepares specialized contracts for projects that make clear the responsibilities all parties hold to ensure privacy is maintained.

Handling of data shared for the purpose of providing a service

tele-net implements systems that ensure the privacy of all customer information shared for the purposes of the service we are providing is protected, as well as the information that comes from related companies, collaborators, and partners.

Various checks and up-to-date technology are implemented internally to protect against information leaks and uphold our responsibility to protect our customers’ information.

This mindset carries over to cases where our customers’ information needs to be transferred, in which case we use our constantly improving security protocols to ensure that the information is transferred with issues.

We record calls in order improve our service and train new staff, and through this information from customers may be retained. In such an event, we shred any hard copies and erase all data stored on computers as soon as the contract with the client has ended.

After a contract has ended, there is no cases where the recording or information will be used again by either tele-net or a third party.
