Information Classification Policy

Learn about Roboto Studio's Information Classification Policy. Understand how we categorize, handle, and secure different types of information.

1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to assist Roboto Studio employees in determining what information can be disclosed to non-employees, as well as the relative sensitivity of the information that should not be disclosed outside of Roboto Studio without proper authorization.

2.0 Scope

This policy covers all information assets owned and operated by Roboto Studio including (but not limited to) information (electronic and non-electronic), and associated IT infrastructures such as software, networks, desktops, laptops, and servers. This policy applies to the owners, custodians and all users (employees, consultants, and contractors) of such information assets.

3.0 High-Level Policy

All information assets (electronic and non-electronic) shall have designated owners and be classified following the information classification guidelines stated in this document. All Roboto Studio employees, consultants, and contractors who handle information in Roboto Studio’s custody or under its control are responsible for understanding and implementing this policy. Where a third party is responsible for handling the information on behalf of Roboto Studio, the third party shall be required by contract to adhere to this policy prior to the sharing of information.

4.0 Detailed Policy
