The Icelandic service provider is one of the few companies using highly-sophisticated DDoS protection methods to mitigate possible attacks toward our Site. Their system is designed to protect our Site against all types of service exhaustion attacks and they guarantee their capability to mitigate attacks up to 250Gb/second. They have a mitigation team on duty around the clock to monitoring our Site.

Subsequent to the 2023 migration, ITG has continually transferred, stored, maintained, and processed your Personal Information only in Iceland, which is known for its outstanding laws of privacy in the web hosting industry.

When ITG has no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then ITG will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

ITG has implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any Personal Information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so ITG cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cyber-criminals, bad state actors, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, transmission of Personal Information to and from our Services is at your own risk.

Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

In Short: Because no standard currently exists, ITG does not respond to Do_Not_Track Browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

Most web Browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting(s) you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, ITG does not currently respond to DNT Browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, ITG will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights

We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights.

Verification process

Upon receiving your request, ITG will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.

ITG will only use Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.

Other privacy rights

Other privacy may apply as follows:

• You may object to the processing of your Personal Information.
• You may request correction of your Personal Information if it is incorrect or no longer relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the information.
• You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA.
• If applicable, you may request to opt out from future selling of your Personal information to third parties. Upon receiving an opt-out request, ITG will act upon the request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of the request submission.

To exercise these rights, you can contact us by using the contact information provided in the How Can You Contact ITG? Section below. If you have a complaint about how we handle your data, we would like to hear from you.

Financial Incentives

“Financial incentive” means a program, benefit, or other offering, including payments to consumers as compensation, for the disclosure, deletion, or sale of Personal Information.

The law permits financial incentives or a price or service difference if it is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. A business must be able to explain how the financial incentive or price or service difference is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. The explanation must include:

• a good-faith estimate of the value of the consumer’s data that forms the basis for offering the financial incentive or price or service difference; and
• a description of the method the business used to calculate the value of the consumer’s data.

In the future, ITG may decide to offer a financial incentive (e.g., price or service difference) in exchange for the retention or sale of a consumer’s Personal Information. If we decide to offer a financial incentive, we will notify you of such financial incentive and explain the price difference, as well as material terms of the financial incentive or price of service difference, including the categories of Personal Information that are implicated by the financial incentive or price or service difference. If you choose to participate in the financial incentive you can withdraw from the financial incentive at any time by emailing us by using the contact information provided in the How Can You Contact ITG? Section below.
