Confidential information
We take reasonable precautions to protect our User´s confidential information and expect the same treatment over ours.
While using our services, the User may share confidential information with us, and may become aware of confidential information about us. Both sides agree to take reasonable steps to protect the other party’s confidential information from being accessed by unauthorised individuals. Both sides may share each other’s confidential information with legal or regulatory authorities if required to do so.
Security
To help protect our services and our User´s data, we take the precautions needed:
- Security safeguards: We’ve invested in technical, physical and administrative safeguards to keep our User´s data safe and secure. However, no method of electronic storage is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will notify if there appears to be unauthorised access to accounts and we may also restrict access to certain parts of our services until verified that access was by an authorised user.
- Account security features: We may introduce security features to make accounts more secure, such as two-step authentication. We may require Users to adopt some of these features. Where we make the use of security features optional, the User is responsible for any consequences of not using those features. We strongly encourage to use all optional security features.We expect from the User to keep their login details secure, not letting any other person use them, and making sure to have strong security on their own systems. When suspecting of any unauthorised use of passwords or any breach of security to the account or email address, we strongly suggest to let us know immediately. Tge User also agrees not to use free-form fields in any of T_NEUTRAL’s systems or services to store personal data, (unless it’s a field explicitly asking for personal data) credit card details, tax identifiers or bank account details.
- Maintenance, availability, downtime and data loss: We will try to minimise any downtime, but it is necessary to keep the services updated and secure. For this reason the User may incur in occasional access issues and may experience data loss. Backing up data is recommended. Where planned maintenance is being undertaken, we’ll attempt to notify you in advance but can’t guarantee it.
- No compensation: Whatever the cause of any downtime, access issues or data loss, the User´s only recourse is to discontinue using our services.

If a modified term is found unacceptable, the User may terminate their subscription.
- Enforcement of terms: If there’s any part of these terms that either part is unable to enforce, it will be ignored, but everything else will remain enforceable.
