Privacy Shield Principles
‍
1. and 2. Notice and Choice

Our Privacy Policy describes how we use Personal Data we receive from different sources. This Privacy Shield Policy describes how we process Personal Data covered by the Privacy Shield.

If you are a User, DataNovo may act as an agent for you in relation to the Personal Data that you provide or make available to DataNovo. DataNovo usually will not have a relationship with the User’s clients or customers. Here, the User is responsible for ensuring that its clients or customers are provided with appropriate notice and choice with respect to their Personal Data.

In its role as a controller and as required by applicable law, DataNovo generally offers individuals in the EU and Switzerland (hereinafter, “EEA/CH Consumers”) the opportunity to choose whether their Personal Data may be (i) disclosed to third-party controllers or (ii) used for a purpose that is materially different from the purposes for which the information was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant EEA/CH Consumer. To the extent required by the Privacy Shield Principles, DataNovo obtains opt-in consent for certain uses and disclosures of sensitive data. EEA/CH Consumers may contact DataNovo as indicated below regarding the DataNovo’s use or disclosure of their Personal Data. Unless DataNovo offers EEA/CH Consumers an appropriate choice, DataNovo uses Personal Data only for purposes that are materially the same as those indicated in this Policy.

3. Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation

We only collect Personal Data that is relevant to providing our Services. We process Personal Data compatible with us providing the Services or as otherwise notified to you. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data received under the Privacy Shield is needed for DataNovo’s Services, accurate, complete, and current.

4. Accountability for Onward Transfers

This Policy and the Privacy Policy describe how DataNovo shares Personal Data.Except as permitted or required by applicable law and in accordance with DataNovo’s role as a controller or processor, DataNovo provides EEA/CH Consumers with an opportunity to opt out of sharing their Personal Data with third-party controllers. DataNovo requires third-party controllers to whom it discloses the Personal Data of EEA/CH Consumers to contractually agree to (a) only process the Personal Data for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the relevant EEA/CH Consumer, (b) provide the same level of protection for Personal Data as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles, and (c) notify DataNovo and cease processing Personal Data (or take other reasonable and appropriate remedial steps) if the third-party controller determines that it cannot meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection for Personal Data as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles.

DataNovo may disclose Personal Data to trusted third parties as indicated in the Privacy Policy without offering an opportunity to opt out. DataNovo requires that its agents and service providers that have access to Personal Data within the scope of this Privacy Shield Policy provide the same level of protection as required by the Privacy Shield Principles. We ensure that our agents process Personal Data received under the Privacy Shield in a manner consistent with our obligations under the Privacy Shield Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

We may also need to disclose Personal Data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, for law enforcement or national security reasons, or when such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding or court order, or when otherwise required by law. We will not offer an opportunity to opt out from this category of disclosure.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the nature of the Personal Data and the risks involved in processing that information.
