Information Safety and Confidentiality Criteria
The Kuwait Credit Information Network Company (CINET) offers to the confidentiality of information in general and the clients’ information in particular utmost attention and a constant follow up, by providing one of the most significant databases to clients in the State of Kuwait, which comprises their credit history, mechanisms and patterns of payment. Therefore, it is significant that such information and data remain confidential, preventing any person or entity whose work is not connected with granting or taking credit decision for clients from accessing the data.
The Kuwait Credit Information Network Company has clearly identified a number of clauses, terms and conditions which ensure respecting the privacy and confidentiality of the data and information of clients, which apply on all levels by laying down systems of international standards in connection with the confidentiality of information. To promote such criteria, it was necessary to lay down clear and specific conditions for the security and confidentiality of information to safeguard the interests of clients and credit donors, which include most significantly the following:
- CINET is firmly committed to maintaining confidentiality and privacy standards by applying the highest protection standards in this regard and which can be provided and developed continuously in accordance with the Company’s capabilities within the applicable legal frameworks.
- The obligation not to share customer credit information with any third party that is not authorized or permitted to access them.
- CINET does not publish customer’s private information or allow any unauthorized party or person to access its automated system to view such data.
- CINET takes all necessary technical measures and procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of information with the aim of preventing any breach or misuse of any private information stored with it. However, it is widely known that the protection of electronic information security is marred by many loopholes and vulnerabilities that have been created or through which many violators and criminals have violated the privacy of many people across the world. Therefore, we are committed to providing the maximum possible protection and control with seriousness, diligence and full commitment.
