We will take reasonable steps to ensure personal information we process is complete, accurate, and current, but we depend on our users to correct and or update their personal information whenever they feel it is necessary.

When using StarProg, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing any such requests. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, or may require a disproportionate technical effort, which may jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on storage or backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required.

In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services may have different procedures to access, correct or delete users' personal information. We will provide the details for these procedures in the specific privacy notices for these services.

We restrict access to personal information to StarProg employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they do not adhere to these obligations.

Members will be notified via prominent notice on the Site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of information of users held by us. If as a result of the business transition, information will be used for a purpose different from that stated, or implied; at the time of collection users will be given a choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
