Data Handling Policy

Scope and Purpose

This Data Handling Policy outlines how Virus Solution Provider manages, processes, stores, and protects customer data throughout the data recovery lifecycle. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy.

Data Collection and Intake

When a device is received for service, we document the make, model, serial number, and visible condition. Customer contact information and a description of the issue are recorded in our secure internal system. All data is logged with a unique service ID for tracking.

Chain of Custody

Every device received is logged with timestamps and signed custody transfers. The chain of custody document includes: date and time of receipt, condition notes, technician assignment, and all handling events throughout the recovery process.

Data Storage and Security

Customer data is stored on encrypted, access-controlled storage systems. Access to customer data is restricted to authorized personnel only. Our facility maintains physical security controls including 24/7 surveillance and restricted access.

Data Retention and Disposal

Recovered data is retained for a maximum of 30 days after delivery unless otherwise agreed. After this period, data is permanently and securely erased using industry-standard data destruction methods that prevent any possibility of reconstruction.

Data Breach Response

In the event of a data breach, we have a comprehensive incident response plan. Affected customers will be notified within 72 hours of confirmation of a breach. We will provide details of the breach and steps taken to mitigate risks.

Compliance and Audits

We regularly audit our data handling practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws and industry standards. Our policies are reviewed and updated quarterly to reflect evolving best practices and regulatory requirements.
