This policy outlines our commitment to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit our site and customers using our services that have agreed to the terms. This policy applies to information automatically collected via the site or through our services or provided to us by visitors or customers.

Our services are intended for use by enterprises. When we process personal data on behalf of a customer, our customer is the data controller of personal information, and Omnigo Software is a data processor under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). When you visit our site or use our services, and we collect information from you, including personal data, Omnigo Software is the data controller for the collected data under GDPR.

We collect this information directly from you when you provide it to us automatically as you navigate through the site, or from third parties which may track this information.

Customer Data

“Customer Data” means any and all data, information or material provided or submitted by Customers to Omnigo Software by any means, including Personal Data of Customer employees, contractors, and End-Users. We only process Customer Data as per our Customer's instructions. For purposes of the GDPR, we are the processor and not the controller of the Customer Data. Our European Economic Area (“EEA”) are the controllers of that data and are responsible for compliance with the applicable data protection law.

As the controller, it is our customers’ responsibility to inform end-users about the processing, and, where required, obtain necessary consent or authorization for any personal data that is collected as part of the Customer Data. As the processors of personal data on behalf of our customers, we follow customers’ instructions with respect to the Customer Data to the extent consistent with the functionality of our services. In doing so, we implement technical, physical and administrative measures to help protect against unauthorized processing of such information and against loss, destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

 

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to help secure personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing personal data. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our site or services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the site and in connection with our services such as company profile pages or message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of our site.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to or from our site or in connection with our services. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on our site or in connection with our services.

 

Specific Data Regulations

GDPR

The GDPR is legislation to protect individuals within the European Union (EU), effective May 25, 2018. It is binding and applicable to all EU member countries, which means it does not require national governments to pass any additional legislation.

The GDPR applies to personal data when the data controller (an organization that collects data from EU residents) or data processor (an organization that processes data on behalf of the data controller) or the data subject is based in the EU area. It also applies to organizations based outside of the EU in case they collect or process personal data of EU residents.

The GDPR defines personal data as any data related to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). When a service supplied by Omnigo Software acts as a Data Processor on a customer’s behalf, our customers - as Data Controllers - are responsible for ensuring that their use of our products is in compliance with the GPDR.

Omnigo Software is a Data Processor. Our products process personal data collected in these products on behalf of its customers, and those customers are either Data Processors as well or the Data Controllers of the personal data. As a Data Processor, Omnigo Software processes personal data only on the instructions from its customers.

For purposes of GDPR compliance, Omnigo Software:

  • Has a data protection steering group review all system and process changes related to data protection and respond to questions and requests from customers and other stakeholders.
  • Assesses customer implementations to understand the data elements collected within the Omnigo Software platforms.
  • Develops technical and organizational processes to maintain data subject’s rights.
  • Documents the life-cycle of personal data collected by the Omnigo Software platforms.
  • Creates internal guidelines and trains staff to be aware of the requirements of the GDPR.
  • Covers data tracking and protection issues in our subscription agreements.

 

CJIS

The Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) is a division of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). CJIS databases contain all necessary information for detaining criminals, performing background checks, and tracking criminal activity.

Criminal Justice Information (CJI) is data necessary for law enforcement and civil agencies to perform their missions including biometric, identity history, biographic, property and case/incident history data. This includes any data obtained from both state and national CJIS data systems.

The CJIS Security Policy provides guidance for the creation, viewing, modification, transmission, dissemination, storage, and destruction of CJI. Omnigo Software is a contracting private entity that operates in support of criminal justice services and information. All current and prospective law enforcement customers require Omnigo Software be CJIS-compliant to support our products.

Omnigo Software offices and servers are physically secured. Non-CJIS certified personnel with access to physically secure locations or controlled areas are always escorted by authorized personnel.

 

HIPPA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) mandates industry-wide standards for health care information and requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information.

HIPAA requires health care providers and organizations, as well as their business associates, to develop and follow procedures that ensure the confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI) when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared. Only the minimum health information necessary to conduct business is to be used or shared. Records maintained in our products may fall into this category.

HIPPA includes exclusions for law enforcement officials. There are no exclusions for hospital security departments or public safety departments that are not law enforcement agencies.

HIPAA applies only to covered entities: health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers. HIPPA allows covered providers and health plans to disclose protected health information to “business associates,” which are persons or entities that perform certain functions or activities that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information on behalf of, or provide services to, a covered entity. There are specific items that must be included in the contract with business associates.

Omnigo Software is a “business associate” of our healthcare customers.

 

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects personally identifiable information in students’ education records from unauthorized disclosure.

FERPA applies to all educational agencies and institutions that receive funds under any program administered by the Family Policy Compliance Office of the United States Department of Education. Public and private educational agencies and institutions (i.e.: schools and school districts) often rely on service providers to handle services they cannot efficiently provide themselves, such as applications that contain student information. Omnigo Software is a service provider to these agencies and institutions.

When schools and districts outsource institutional services or functions, FERPA permits the disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records to contractors, consultants, volunteers, or other third parties. Omnigo Software maintains data security and ensures our customers are able to access and control their data.
