Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 7, 2022

We understand the need for determining and enforcing all privacy-related rules and regulations. To this end, we have produced this privacy policy aligned to the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2013 to ensure that NuCompass shall comply with all relevant standard requirements.

  1. DATA PROTECTION

NuCompass Mobility Services Inc., also referred to as NuCompass, has long-term experience delivering relocation management services. Our clients and their employees entrust NuCompass with the relocating employee's personal information (“Personal Information”) to facilitate the delivery of mobility services on our web site www.nucompass.com, NuCompass portals (client.nucompass.com, navigate.nucompass.com, copilot.nucompass.com, and supplier.nucompass.com). NuCompass acts as data processor of Personal Information that it receives from a client and the client is the data controller. 

NuCompass understands the importance of safeguarding and protecting all user provided information and therefore undertakes to process all Personal Information pursuant to the terms of this Privacy Policy and its Personal Information Security Policy. The use of information collected through our service shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which our clients have engaged with us. We are committed to complying with all applicable state and federal privacy laws. NuCompass maintains internal best practices, controls and standards to manage protection and compliance.

This Privacy Policy applies to the NuCompass portals located at nucompass.com. This policy does not apply to third party websites accessed from the portals via internet links. NuCompass makes no representations or warranties as to any content contained in third party websites and takes no responsibility for such websites. Our link to another website is not an endorsement of that website. Because we cannot guarantee that the privacy policies of such websites meet our standards, we recommend that you read the privacy policy of the website to which you link before you submit any Personal Information. We are not responsible for the collection, use, maintenance, sharing, or disclosure of data and information by such third parties.

  1. COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION

The collection of Personal Information, including Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below), about you is voluntary. You may elect to not provide information to NuCompass at any time. If you choose to not provide certain information to NuCompass, it may affect our ability to deliver services your employer has authorized. You will be notified if services will be affected due to lack of information. Please notify your NuCompass Consultant if you wish to opt-out of information sharing. The types of Personal Information we ask you to provide are based upon the services you are authorized by your employer to receive. We use this information to administer your account, provide the authorized services, and respond to your concerns.

  1. DATA PROCESSING

The use of information collected through our service shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which the Client has engaged NuCompass.
