How We Share Your Information
PGT does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, managing customer relationships (CRM), or delivering the Services. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as directed by PGT and consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Professional Translators and Associated Persons
To fulfill translation or interpretation projects, PGT may share the minimum necessary content and contact information with qualified translators, interpreters, vendors, or contractors ("Associated Persons") who have agreed to maintain confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth in our Terms of Service.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other governmental or legal request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law or legal process; (b) protect the safety of any person; (c) prevent fraud or abuse; or (d) protect PGT's legal rights.
Business Transfers
If PGT is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of business assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.
Confidential Information and Document Security
All documents, content, and materials you submit to PGT for translation or related services are treated as your Confidential Information. We implement technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your Confidential Information, including:
- Encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS);
- Access controls limiting document access to only those personnel who need it to perform the Services;
- Confidentiality agreements with all translators, interpreters, and other Associated Persons;
- Secure document storage and transmission protocols aligned with ISO 27001 information security management principles.
We retain your submitted documents only for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill our legal obligations. Upon project completion, documents may be retained for a limited period for quality assurance and dispute resolution, then securely deleted or anonymized.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide you the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you wish to request deletion of your account and associated personal data, please contact us at info@pgt.email. We will respond within thirty (30) days, subject to any legal retention requirements.
Your Rights and Choices
Access and Correction
You may review, update, or correct your personal information by logging into your account or by contacting us at info@pgt.email.
Marketing Communications
If you receive promotional email communications from us, you may opt out at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any such email or by contacting us directly. We will process your request within a reasonable time. Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of transactional messages related to your account or active projects.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because our analytics are already cookieless and non-tracking, the behavior of our site does not change based on whether a Do Not Track signal is received.
