10. EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield

When transferring Personal Information of Data Subjects (as defined in section 5 above) from the European Union, the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland (collectively, the “EU”), Company relies upon a variety of legal mechanisms to ensure the protection of such Personal Information, including contracts with our users. Company may transfer Personal Information about you to the U.S. The U.S. may have data protection laws less stringent than or otherwise different from the laws in effect in the EU. Transfers of your Personal Information to the U.S. are necessary to perform the agreement we have entered into, or are about to enter into, with you.

Before July 16, 2020, we relied on our EU-U.S. Privacy Shield certification to transfer Personal Data that we received from the EU to Company in the U.S. but on July 16, 2020, the European Court of Justice ruled that the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield is no longer available for these data transfers. Before September 8, 2020, we relied on our Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield certification to transfer Personal Data that we received from Switzerland to Company in the U.S. but on September 8, 2020 the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner determined that the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield is no longer available for these data transfers. We continue to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles described below as required by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Company complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and 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 of Data Subjects transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. Taplytics Inc. (dba "DevCycle") 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. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

Company is subject to oversight by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. JAMS is the US-based independent organization responsible for reviewing and resolving complaints about our Privacy Shield compliance — free of charge to you. We ask that you first submit any such complaints directly to us via [email protected]. If you aren’t satisfied with our response, please contact JAMS at https://www.jamsadr.com/file-an-eu-us-privacy-shield-or-safe-harbor-claim. In the event your concern still isn’t addressed by JAMS, you may be entitled to a binding arbitration under Privacy Shield and its principles.

Within the scope of our authorization to do so, and in accordance with our commitments under the Privacy Shield, Company will provide individuals access to personal data about them. Company also will take reasonable steps to enable individuals to correct, amend, or delete personal data that is demonstrated to be inaccurate.

Company is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under the Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Company complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
