At SummitTrust, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users’ personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, protect, and use user data, ensuring compliance with global data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Collection of User Data
We collect and store personal data that is necessary to provide our products and services. The types of personal data we collect may include:
- Names and contact information (such as email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses).
- User-generated content, communications, and preferences.
- Technical information, connection data, IP addresses, and device information.
- Usage information and analytics data.
- Financial information required for transactions.
We collect personal data directly from the users or from third-party sources when users provide their consent or when applicable laws permit such collection.
Use of User Data
We use the collected data to:
- Provide and improve our products and services.
- Personalize user experiences and provide relevant information.
- Communicate with users, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support.
- Process transactions and fulfill legal or contractual obligations.
- Analyze and monitor product usage, trends, and marketing effectiveness.
- Enforce our terms of service and protect our rights.
We only process personal data for specified and lawful purposes, and we retain the data for as long as necessary to fulfill these purposes unless longer retention is required by law.
Data Security Measures
SummitTrust takes data security seriously and has implemented appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect user information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
These measures include:
- Regular backups to ensure data resiliency.
- Secure data storage facilities and encryption.
- Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing.
- Access controls and restricted staff access to personal data.
- Employee training and awareness programs on data security.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect user data, no security measures are foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or stored by us.

We may share user data to third parties for specific purposes outlined in this privacy policy or with user consent. Third-party data sharing may include:
- Third-party service providers that assist us in delivering products and services.
- Regulatory or legal authorities to comply with legal obligations.
- Law enforcement agencies, when necessary, to protect against fraud, illegal activities, or to enforce our rights.
We do not sell or rent user data to third parties unless explicitly authorized by the user or required by law.
