Privacy Policy
How ITva Technologies collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to our website and prospective clients who reach out to us.
This Privacy Policy describes how ITva Technologies LLC ("ITva," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, stores, and shares information about you when you visit our website (itvatechnologies.com) or contact us about our services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information responsibly.
This policy applies to information collected through our website and during pre-engagement discussions. Once you become an ITva client, separate Master Service Agreements (MSAs) and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) govern how we handle your business data.
This policy uses standard MSSP/IT services template language. Have a Florida attorney review specifically for: (1) your specific BAA terms with regulated clients, (2) any state-specific requirements beyond FIPA, (3) actual data retention periods you commit to, (4) third-party processors you actually use.

4. Information Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. As an MSSP, our internal practices include:

- Endpoint detection and response on company devices
- Workforce security awareness training
- Regular security audits and risk assessments

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, contact us immediately at security@itvatechnologies.com.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Specifically:

- Website analytics data: 14 months (Google Analytics default)
- Marketing communications: Until you opt out
- Required compliance records: As required by applicable law (HIPAA: 6 years; IRS: 7 years)
The retention periods above are reasonable defaults but should be verified against your actual practices and any specific client BAA commitments. Modify as appropriate.
