9. International Processing and Storage
Some of the technology and service providers Nortech uses may operate servers or process information outside Trinidad & Tobago.
As a result, information submitted through the website may be processed or stored in another country.
Where this occurs, Nortech seeks to use reputable service providers and reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.
Different jurisdictions may have different privacy and data-protection requirements.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which we collected it, or as required for legitimate business, professional, contractual, or legal purposes.
For example, information relating to a business enquiry may be retained while the enquiry is active and for an appropriate period afterward for administrative and business-record purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on:
-
The nature of the information;
-
The purpose for which it was collected;
-
Whether a professional relationship was established;
-
Contractual requirements; and
-
Applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, anonymize or otherwise dispose of it.
11. Information Security
Nortech takes reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against risks including:
-
Unauthorized access;
-
Accidental loss;
-
Improper disclosure;
-
Misuse;
-
Alteration; and
-
Destruction.
However, no website, electronic communication system or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitors should therefore exercise appropriate care when transmitting information online and avoid sending highly sensitive information through general website forms.

You may do so by:
-
Using an unsubscribe option where provided; or
-
Contacting Nortech directly.
Please note that opting out of marketing communications does not prevent Nortech from sending necessary communications relating to an existing enquiry, engagement, transaction or business relationship.
14. Confidential and Sensitive Information
Because Nortech provides risk, audit, compliance, and investigative services, some client engagements may involve confidential or sensitive business information.
The general website contact form is not intended to serve as a secure repository for confidential investigation files, claims documentation, financial records, employee records, or similarly sensitive materials.
If such information is necessary for an engagement, Nortech may provide an appropriate method for its secure transmission.
15. Third-Party Websites and Social Media
Our website may link to third-party websites, social media platforms, or other external resources.
Nortech does not control the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.

We encourage users to review the relevant privacy policies before providing personal information to third-party websites.
