TRUSTe Privacy Certification

Altair Global (“Altair”, “We”, “Us) is a leading provider of global mobility services to companies around the world.

We take great care in safeguarding your personal information and in complying with all applicable federal and state privacy laws and our own internal standards and best practices.

This statement covers information collected and displayed on altairglobal.com and does not apply to other websites that may be accessible through altairglobal.com. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of those other sites to learn how they collect and use information about you.

To assist you with reading through our privacy statement, we have provided questions and answers below that you may find helpful in understanding our privacy practices:

What information does Altair COLLECT from me?

We may obtain personal information about you ONLY if you elect to give us that information. This information will be used to contact you and to provide the services authorized by your employer. The types of personal information we ask you to provide may include the following:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Zip code/Postal code
  • Telephone number
  • E-mail address
  • Bank account information

Information Collected Automatically

As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you, to improve marketing and site functionality, and provide support services when needed.

Does Altair SHARE my personal information with others?

We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy statement. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may need to share your personal information with certain third parties such as our agents, service providers, and other representatives acting on our behalf for limited purposes.

The third parties with whom we conduct business are only authorized to use your information to perform the service for which they were hired.

We may be required to share personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may share certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves. We may also transfer personal information in the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, dissolution, or similar event. You will be notified via a prominent notice on our website for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Do I have CHOICES regarding the use of my information?

Altair is an “Opt In” organization.  Altair will only use your personal information to deliver services which your employer has authorized.  You may deny the use of your personal information at any time by emailing [email protected] and stating your desire.

How does Altair SECURE my personal information?

Altair is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. Altair uses a combination of industry-standard security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and unauthorized access of your personal information under our control. To accomplish this, we take the following steps:

  • We employ internal access controls to ensure that the only people who see your information are those with a need to do so to perform their official duties.
  • We train relevant personnel on our privacy and security measures.
  • We physically secure the areas where we hold hard copies of the information we collect online.
  • We regularly back up the information we collect online to insure against loss.
  • We use technical controls to secure the information we collect online as appropriate, including but not limited to: encryption, firewalls, and password protections.
  • We periodically test our security procedures to ensure personnel and technical compliance.

When you enter sensitive information, such as bank account information, we encrypt the transmission of that information using Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology.

We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us by email, and you do so at your own risk. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your California Privacy Rights

Residents of the State of California, under a provision of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy statement that gives either an Opt-out or Opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

Altair has a comprehensive privacy statement and provides you with details on how you may either Opt-out or Opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, Altair qualifies for the alternative option and we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices you must send a request to [email protected].
