Who we share your data with

We do not rent or sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:

Information that’s been de-identified.  We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual, and provide that information to our partners.

However, we never disclose aggregate usage or de-identified information to a partner (or allow a partner to collect such information) in a manner that would identify you as an individual person.

What data breach procedures we have in place

DATA BREACH MANAGEMENT PLAN

Upon being notified of a (suspected or confirmed) data breach, the Data Breach Team should immediately activate the data breach & response plan.

Lamplight Counseling Services’ data breach management and response plan is:

  1. Confirm the Breach
  2. Contain the Breach
  3. Assess Risks and Impact
  4. Report the Incident
  5. Evaluate the Response & Recovery to Prevent Future Breaches

CONFIRM THE BREACH

The Data Breach Team (DBT) should act as soon as it is aware of a data breach. Where possible, it should first confirm that the data breach has occurred. It may make sense for the DBT to proceed Contain the Breach on the basis of an unconfirmed reported data breach, depending on the likelihood of the severity of risk.

CONTAIN THE BREACH

The DBT should consider the following measures to Contain the Breach, where applicable:

  • Shut down the compromised system that led to the data breach.
  • Establish whether steps can be taken to recover lost data and limit any damage caused by the breach. (eg: remotely disabling / wiping a lost notebook containing personal data of individuals.)
  • Prevent further unauthorized access to the system.
  • Reset passwords if accounts and / or passwords have been compromised.
  • Isolate the causes of the data breach in the system, and where applicable, change the access rights to the compromised system and remove external connections to the system.

ASSESS RISKS AND IMPACT

Knowing the risks and impact of data breaches will help Lamplight Counseling Services, LLC determine whether there could be serious consequences to affected individuals, as well as the steps necessary to notify the individuals affected.
