• Require all third parties that receive personal information from us to keep such information secure and confidential, and to use such personal information only in accordance with our strict instructions.
• Only allow authorized individuals to access personal information, and always use reasonable measures to protect such personal information from inappropriate use, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
• Only keep an individual’s personal information for as long as required by law and/or as necessary for the purpose for which the personal information was collected; at which time, the personal information will be destroyed, deleted or made anonymous.
• Upon request, allow an individual to access his/her personal information, if appropriate, and inform the individual of any use, retention or disclosure of his/her personal information.
• Keep an individual’s personal information up-to-date and accurate as reasonably possible, encouraging the individual to assist IHMC by requesting appropriate changes to inaccuracies he/she may discover.
