Terminal Trust and Transparency Center

Clients trust Terminal to find the best remote talent across the world. Terminal’s commitment to privacy and data protection is integrated into our tech-enabled Talent and Remote Management Platforms (“Platforms”). Our Platforms consist of people, processes, and technology, backed by the security and infrastructure necessary to safeguard and support Clients as they grow their remote teams.

Learn more about how Terminal protects the personal data.

Overview

Security

Terminal takes clients’ security seriously. We have policies and procedures in place to segregate Terminal’s Talent and Remote Management Platforms from our clients’ critical systems and confidential data. Our tech-enabled Platforms are managed by Terminal’s corporate staff, who do not have access to our clients’ devices, critical systems, or confidential data.

All members (employees hired by Terminal on behalf of our clients) are required to follow our comprehensive information security principles to protect our clients’ confidential data, including intellectual property. This includes:

  • Using client-issued devices for creating and developing deliverables;
  • Following their assigned-client’s security policies to adhere to the client’s requirements; and
  • Respecting nondisclosure and guaranteeing control of intellectual property by the client.

  • Posting notices in conspicuous places, including at the point of disruption, at the main entrance, and the nearest accessible entrance to the service disruption, or on the company website;
  • Contacting customers with appointments;
  • Verbally notifying customers when they make a appointment; or
  • By any other method that may be reasonable under the circumstances

Workspace Security

Whether members are working at one of Terminal’s offices or remotely, Terminal implements comprehensive security practices to protect our Clients’ Confidential Data, including intellectual property.

All of Terminal’s officers are protected by advanced security firewalls. Upon request from a client, we create a separate network with its own firewall rules for the client.

Terminal’s security team conducts periodic security assessments of members who work remotely to meet our security standards.


Our Security Practices

Terminal takes clients’ security seriously. We have policies and procedures in place to segregate Terminal’s Talent and Remote Management Platforms (“Platforms”) from our clients’ critical systems and confidential data. Our tech-enabled Platforms are managed by Terminal’s corporate staff, who do not have access to our clients’ devices, critical systems, or confidential data.

All members (employees hired by Terminal on behalf of our clients) are required to follow our comprehensive information security principles to protect our clients’ confidential data, including intellectual property. This includes:

  • Using client-issued devices for creating and developing deliverables;
  • Following their assigned-client’s security policies to adhere to the client’s requirements; and
  • Respecting nondisclosure and guaranteeing control of intellectual property by the client.

Client data is entirely owned, controlled, and maintained by our Clients in their own systems, networks, and devices. Each client controls and provides access to its own systems through their own processes and procedures, keeping in-line with their own information security policies.

Terminal’s corporate staff (employees facilitating talent recruitment and not involved with creating client deliverables) do not have access to our clients’ critical systems and confidential data. They manage Terminal’s internal services, where access to data is limited to recruitment and employment information, as well as minimal Client Information for communication and billing. Terminal has security controls, policies, and procedures in place for its internal systems and Platforms, including:

  • Auditing;
  • Role-based access controls;
  • Network protection and segmentation;
  • Use of encryption at rest and in transit;
  • Regular system patching and vulnerability management; and
  • Antivirus and malware protection.
