Whether you receive services or purchase products in Vortex Computer Systems locations, use Vortex Live, have services performed at your location, or contact the Vortex Computer Systems telephone engineers, we take reasonable precautions to protect against the loss, misuse and unauthorized access of your personal information. This includes personal information that you provide to complete a purchase. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit by e-mail, and you do so at your own risk.
Please note that while Vortex Computer Systems is able to protect personal information that is provided during the course of business, we cannot take responsibility for data loss on the products or systems serviced. You must remove or back up this information to safeguard it.
Remote Access
Vortex Computer Systems Engineers may use remote access to diagnose and resolve system problems. This lets us access your computer to determine the problem and either repair it or provide advice on possible repair options. By taking advantage of this service, you give permission to a Vortex Computer Systems Engineer to log into your computer, which may contain personal information. He or she will only search your computer to determine the cause of the problem and will attempt to minimize interaction with your data. It is your responsibility to ensure that all of your files, especially those containing personal information, are secure to prevent any type of data loss or corruption.
