Safe Harbor Privacy Policy and Certification
The U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (FAQ) to enable U.S. companies to satisfy European Union (EU) law requirements for adequate protection of personal information transferred from the EEA to the United States. EchoSpan adheres with the safe harbor principles as follows:

Definitions
"Personal data" and "personal information" are data about an identified or identifiable individual that are within the scope of the Directive, received by a U.S. organization from the European Union, is recorded in any form; and can be linked to that individual.

NOTICE
An organization must inform individuals about the purposes for which it collects and uses information about them, how to contact the organization with any inquiries or complaints, the types of third parties to which it discloses the information, and the choices and means the organization offers individuals for limiting its use and disclosure. This notice must be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide personal information to the organization or as soon thereafter as is practicable, but in any event before the organization uses such information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or processed by the transferring organization or discloses it for the first time to a third party(1).

CHOICE
EchoSpan is acting as a data processor on behalf of its clients. EchoSpan offers individuals (end-users of its system) to be used for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

ONWARD TRANSFER
It is the policy of EchoSpan, Inc to never release the personal information of its clients and their respective users to third parties, with the exception of court-issued subpoenas. Prior to disclosing any client information to a third party requesting information via subpoena, when possible, EchoSpan will provide clients 7 days written notice of the subpoena as well as the contact information to the subpoenaing party.

SECURITY
EchoSpan maintains and has put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

DATA INTEGRITY
EchoSpan will only process personal information in a way that is compatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for these purposes, EchoSpan will take reasonable steps to ensure that data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

ACCESS
Individuals must have access to personal information about them that an organization holds and be able to correct, amend, or delete that information where it is inaccurate, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual's privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

ENFORCEMENT
Effective privacy protection must include mechanisms for assuring compliance with the Principles, recourse for individuals to whom the data relate affected by non-compliance with the Principles, and consequences for the organization when the Principles are not followed. At a minimum, such mechanisms must include (a) readily available and affordable independent recourse mechanisms by which each individual's complaints and disputes are investigated and resolved by reference to the Principles and damages awarded where the applicable law or private sector initiatives so provide; (b) follow up procedures for verifying that the attestations and assertions businesses make about their privacy practices are true and that privacy practices have been implemented as presented; and (c) obligations to remedy problems arising out of failure to comply with the Principles by organizations announcing their adherence to them and consequences for such organizations. Sanctions must be sufficiently rigorous to ensure compliance by organizations.
