5. Data Security, Retention, and Confidentiality
RocketPD complies with the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA) and is committed to notifying users of any data breach involving personal information. In the event of a security breach that compromises user data, RocketPD will notify affected individuals within 30 days of discovering the breach, as required by Florida law.
We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect user information. RocketPD follows recognized security frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST guidelines to ensure compliance with best practices in cybersecurity and data protection. However, no system is completely secure. Users should also take precautions to protect their accounts.
5.1. Security Measures
- Encryption of sensitive information
- Secure access controls and authentication protocols
- Regular security audits and threat assessments
5.2. Data Retention and Confidentiality
We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your personal information. RocketPD employs industry-standard physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. We do not share your personal data with third parties except as outlined in this Privacy Policy or when required by law.
Because the Internet is not a 100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee absolute security. While we take significant measures to protect your information, unauthorized third parties may still attempt to access your data. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and login information. Please note that email communications are typically not encrypted and should not be considered a secure means of transmitting personal data.
5.3. External Links
For your convenience, we may provide links to external websites or services operated by third parties (“Third-Party Sites”) that we believe may be of interest to you. RocketPD does not endorse or assume responsibility for the privacy practices of these Third-Party Sites. If you choose to click on a link and navigate to a Third-Party Site, we encourage you to review their privacy policy to understand how they collect, process, and use your data.
RocketPD does not share your personal data with Third-Party Sites unless we have a lawful basis to do so, such as when necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations.
We retain user data only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes, to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Users may request data deletion under certain conditions as outlined in the Your Rights section.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and/or personalized/targeted advertising where applicable by law.
Some U.S. State Privacy Laws define ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ of personal information broadly. While RocketPD does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, we may share certain data with third-party advertising partners to provide relevant advertisements. The types of personal information that may be disclosed for these purposes include online identifiers (e.g., IP address, device identifiers), internet activity (e.g., site interactions), and geolocation data.
You can opt out of the disclosure of personal information to third parties for targeted advertising by adjusting your preferences in your account settings or contacting us at [email protected]. Please note that opting out will not prevent you from seeing advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.
RocketPD does not sell or share personal information for any other purposes and does not knowingly process the personal information of minors under the age of 16 for targeted advertising.
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access and correction: Request a copy of your personal data or correct inaccurate information.
- Deletion requests: Request deletion of your personal data where applicable. Please note that account deletion may not be available for users actively enrolled in ongoing courses or contractual programs.
- Opt-out of marketing: Unsubscribe from promotional communications at any time.
- Cookie preferences: Manage tracking technologies via our [Cookie Policy].
If you require further information regarding your rights or how to exercise them, please contact us. We will process your request in compliance with applicable privacy laws and within a reasonable timeframe, ensuring transparency and adherence to regulatory requirements.
7. Data Storage and Transfers
Your information is stored and processed in the United States. RocketPD complies with applicable U.S. data protection laws, including the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA). We take appropriate security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access and misuse. By using our services, you consent to data storage and processing in the United States.
8. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technology. Significant changes may be communicated via email or a notice on our website, and we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of at least 15 days whenever feasible.
