Data Security:
At Trustii, protecting your data is our top priority. When you share your results with a third party, they are stored in a fully encrypted database at rest using AES-256, one of the most robust encryption standards.
In-transit communications are also secured with end-to-end encryption through HTTPS 256-bit protocols, ensuring optimal security at every step. Additionally, our SOC2 Type II compliance reflects our commitment to adhering to the highest standards of security and confidentiality to safeguard your sensitive information.
Data Usage:
Trustii uses your data responsibly and transparently. It is primarily used to establish your application file and for research purposes. We ensure that collected data is anonymized to strengthen our database and improve the accuracy of our results, without ever linking your identity to this information.
We request your Social Insurance Number to facilitate access to your Equifax® credit file, but this number is encrypted and not included in reports shared with requesting users.
In summary, at Trustii, we are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring its security and confidentiality at every step of the process. If you have any questions or concerns about the privacy or security of your data, please feel free to contact us.
