Who we are
HomeSafe Alliance Inc. (HSA) includes a group of
companies that provide industry-leading solutions to governments and commercial
customers around the world. As part of that mission, HSA creates IT applications
for use by HSA employees and HSA customers.
What personal information HSA collects about you and why
HSA collects your name and
email address (and, if you are a HSA employee, your Network ID number).
HSA collects this personal information to identify you—including to verify
your identity—for purposes of allowing you to access IT applications you have chosen to use.
HSA also allows you to
voluntarily provide other personal information to enable use of IT applications.
These types of personal information include your physical address, office phone,
and mobile phone number. This information is used to identify you, verify your
identity, to communicate with you related to your usage of IT applications,
and to provide other communications related to your relationship with HSA.
For this application, HSA collects information to allow funds transfers.
This can include your Social Security Number, other national identifiers
or other identifiers required by law or necessary to facilitate funds
transfers, and account numbers for financial institutions. The account
numbers are for your company and not you, so they are not personal data,
but in the interests of transparency we want to notify you that if you do
provide a personal account’s account number, we are collecting that data
to facilitate funds transfers.
If you are an employee, HSA can use your information in other ways. You can see more information about what personal information HSA collects about you and why on the HSA intranet in our Global Employee Privacy Notice here .
We may collect additional information related to usage of specific IT applications.
In those situations, specific privacy notices will provide you with more information.
We may transfer your information for legitimate purposes
HSA may transfer your information within the various HSA entities to provide
you use of the IT applications. HSA may also transfer your information to
other entities that may process your information (including by allowing
access when necessary for ensuring the IT applications continue to work).
For example, because we use the Microsoft Azure framework to provide access
to our IT applications, Microsoft may be able to see some of your personal
information when providing troubleshooting or in its cloud backups of login information.
How we protect your information
HSA protects your personal information by keeping it confidential and secure.
HSA retains it only for as long as it is needed for HSA’s lawful purposes.
When HSA transfers information to other entities or across borders, complies
with data privacy laws with respect to ensuring that recipients protect your data.
