| Security | SocialChorus takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. |
| Data Retention | We store the information we collect about you for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. |
| Transfer of Information to the U.S. and Other Third Countries | SocialChorus is based in the United States and we process and store information in the U.S. As such, we and our service providers may transfer your information to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it e.g. by signing the standard contractual clauses stipulated by the EU Commission with the data recipients or by relying on the Privacy Shield Principles. If SocialChorus transfers personal data to official authorities outside the European Union or European Economic Area, if required by law, express consent has been given or is based on the legitimate interest of Social Chorus or the party for data protection purposes, e.g. internal administrative purposes and no higher legitimate interest of the data subject. If you are in the European Economic Area, we provide adequate protection for the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the EEA through a series of intercompany agreements based on the Standard Contractual Clauses authorized under EU law. You are entitled to obtain a copy of these agreements by contacting us using the contact information below. |
| Residents of the European Economic Area | If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you have certain rights and protections under the law regarding the processing of your personal data.
Legal Basis for Processing If you are a resident of the EEA, when we process your personal data, we will only do so under the following circumstances:
Data Subject Requests If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to access personal data we hold about you and to ask that your personal data be corrected, erased, or transferred. You may also have the right to object to, or request that we restrict, certain processing. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you should contact your employer who uses our services. You may also contact us using the contact information below to exercise these rights, but be advised that we generally do not retain the personal data we collect to identify the customer experiences you are eligible to access, and thus will likely not be able to honor your request. Additionally, in compliance with the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, SocialChorus commits to resolve complaints about customer privacy and the collection or use of personal data. European Union and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy should first contact SocialChorus at the contact details mentioned below. SocialChorus has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Principles to JAMS, an independent alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if the complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit https:// www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield for more information and to file a complaint. If the complaint is not resolved by contacting SocialChorus or through the independent dispute resolution process, your may choose to invoke binding arbitration before the Privacy Shield Panel created by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission or may contact the local Data Protection Authority. Questions or Complaints If you are a resident of the EEA and have a concern about our processing of personal data that we are not able to resolve, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data privacy authority where you reside. For contact details of your local Data Protection Authority, please see: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htmhttp://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm. |
| Compliance with Privacy Shield Frameworks | When SocialChorus transfers personal data from the EU and/or Switzerland to the U.S., respectively, it does so in accordance with the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Principles and/or in some cases the SSC when they have been signed. When SocialChorus uses service providers to process personal information received in reliance on the Privacy Shield Principles, SocialChorus is responsible if that service provider processes personal data in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles (unless SocialChorus can prove that it is not responsible for the service provider’s action that violated the Privacy Shield Principles).
SocialChorus complies with the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States, respectively. SocialChorus has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.
