2.3 Information from Third Parties
In limited circumstances, we may receive information about you from publicly available sources, professional networking platforms, or referral partners. This occurs only when such information is relevant to a legitimate business purpose such as evaluating a potential engagement or conducting standard due diligence.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes, each grounded in a lawful basis under applicable data protection regulation:
- Service delivery: To provide computer systems design, integration, consulting, and technical advisory services as contracted or requested by clients.
- Communication: To respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, provide project updates, deliver technical documentation, and maintain business correspondence.

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant consequences, and we do not engage in profiling that would subject individuals to differential treatment without human review.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
TBG ECC JV, LLC does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers and subcontractors: We may engage trusted technical partners, cloud hosting providers, communications platforms, and professional advisors who require limited access to data to perform services on our behalf. These parties are bound by contractual obligations to protect data and use it only as instructed.
- Legal compliance and protection: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, or if we determine in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our clients or the public.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to the same or equivalent privacy commitments.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the context of collection, and our legal and operational requirements. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
Specific retention guidelines include:
- Business correspondence and project communications are retained for the duration of the client relationship plus seven years for legal and audit purposes.
- Server logs and automated usage data are retained for a maximum of 90 days unless a security investigation requires extended preservation.
- Contact form submissions and unsolicited inquiries are retained for 24 months unless a business relationship is established, in which case they transition to the client record retention schedule.
6. Data Security
We implement and maintain technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include but are not limited to:
- Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols.
- Encryption of data at rest for sensitive storage volumes.
- Access controls with role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication.
- Regular security assessments, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.
- Security awareness training for all personnel with access to data systems.
- Incident response procedures and breach notification protocols.
While we strive to protect personal data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we commit to responding promptly to any confirmed data breach in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
