INFORMATION CONFIDENTIALITY
Total Unified Validation (TUV) safeguards confidential information acquired or created through certification, auditing and conformity assessment work.
01. Access to information
Our governance framework requires confidential handling of information and limits access to authorized personnel directly participating in the certification process.
02. Professional obligations and safeguards
Personnel observe confidentiality duties and professional ethics when working with existing or prospective clients. The Board of Directors, top management and participating parties recognize the importance of protecting client information.
Our controls include:
- Secure systems for managing information.
- Controlled access permissions for records.
- Formal confidentiality agreements with personnel and relevant parties.
03. Disclosure of information
TUV does not disclose information arising from assessment and certification to third parties without client consent, except where disclosure is required under applicable law or by accreditation bodies or relevant regulatory authorities.
Respecting client confidentiality
These safeguards strengthen confidence in our services and support activities conducted with integrity, transparency and respect for confidential client information.
