Security
Planet uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to keep your personal information as secure as possible. While we strive to protect your personal information, Planet cannot warrant or guarantee the security of any information you transmit.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also strive to protect user-information off-line. All of our Users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to the information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that our Clients’ and their customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers on which we store our Clients’ data are kept in a secure environment, with around the clock security.

To learn how Planet shares nonpublic personal information and to opt-out of some types of information sharing, please read our Consumer Privacy Notice.
In some circumstances, we will retain certain information in our files for the purposes of resolving disputes, troubleshooting problems, enforcing the Terms of Service or other legal requirements. Further, due to technical constraints and the fact that we back up our systems, it is impractical to remove all such information from our systems.
