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.
