Nanoman's Company has had a strict privacy policy since before our business was registered in 2002. Our words for defining it have changed over the years, but our intention has remained the same.
As an IT company, we have access to systems that store and/or process information that can be very sensitive to its owners. We take this responsibility very seriously, similar to how physicians maintain the confidentiality of their patient records, or attorney-client privilege.
Refusing to identify our customers is the most frequent way that we protect our customers' privacy, but there are others too. For example:
When we deal with our suppliers and subcontractors to complete work orders from our customers, we often need to provide them with information about our customers and/or their IT systems. When this happens, we won't give them anything more than the absolute minimum of what they need to know, and we require our customers' permission for each disclosure.
On several occasions, our company has been presented with lucrative work offers that we could have taken, but on the condition that we provided references, testimonials, and/or other information that is protected by our privacy policy. In each case, we refused, even when doing so meant turning away income that would've helped us immensely.
Please see our Transparency Reports page for information about how we handle requests from government agencies and disclosures to governments.
