SALES COMMUNITY, LLC

Privacy Shield Policy

This Privacy Shield Policy (“Policy”) describes how Sales Community, LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates in the United States (“US”) (“Sales Community”, “Company,” “we,” or “us”) collect, use, and disclose certain personally identifiable information that we receive in the US from the European Economic Area (“EEA Personal Data”).  This Policy applies to the following US affiliated entities: Sales Community, LLC which owns and operates https://www.salescommunity.com (the “Site”).   This Policy supplements our Site Privacy Policy located at https://www.salescommunity.com/privacy-policy, and unless specifically defined in this Policy, the terms in this Policy have the same meaning as the Site Privacy Policy. 

Sales Community recognizes that the EEA has established strict protections regarding the handling of EEA Personal Data, including requirements to provide adequate protection for EEA Personal Data transferred outside of the EEA.  To provide adequate protection for certain EEA Personal Data about consumers, corporate customers, clients, business partners, job applicants, employees received in the US, Sales Community has elected to self-certify to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework administered by the US Department of Commerce (“Privacy Shield”).  Sales Community adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability.

For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Privacy Shield, Sales Community is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the US Federal Trade Commission.  For more information about the Privacy Shield, see the US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website located at: https://www.privacyshield.gov. To review Sales Community representation on the Privacy Shield list, see the US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield self-certification list located at: https://www.salescommunity.com/privacy-policy.

Personal Data Collection and Use 

Our Site Privacy Policy located at https://www.salescommunity.com/privacy-policy describes the categories of Personal Data that we may receive in the US as well as the purposes for which we use that Personal Data. We will only process EEA Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purpose that we collected it for, or for purposes the individual later authorizes. Before we use your EEA Personal Data for a purpose that is materially different than the purpose we collected it for or that you later authorized, we will provide you with the opportunity to opt out. We maintain reasonable procedures to help ensure that EEA Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

Data Transfers to Third Parties 

Third-Party Agents or Service Providers.  We may transfer EEA Personal Data to our third-party agents or service providers who perform functions on our behalf.  Where required by the Privacy Shield, we enter into written agreements with those third-party agents and service providers requiring them to provide the same level of protection the Privacy Shield requires and limiting their use of the data to the specified services provided on our behalf.  We take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that third-party agents and service providers process EEA Personal Data in accordance with our Privacy Shield obligations and to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing.  Under certain circumstances, we may remain liable for the acts of our third-party agents or service providers who perform services on our behalf for their handling of EEA Personal Data that we transfer to them.

Third-Party Data Controllers.  In some cases, we may transfer EEA Personal Data to unaffiliated third-party data controllers.  These third parties do not act as agents or service providers and are not performing functions on our behalf.  We will only provide your EEA Personal Data to third-party data controllers where you have not opted-out of such disclosures, or in the case of sensitive EEA Personal Data, where you have opted-in if the Privacy Shield requires consent.  We enter into written contracts with any unaffiliated third-party data controllers requiring them to provide the same level of protection for EEA Personal Data the Privacy Shield requires.  We also limit their use of your EEA Personal Data so that it is consistent with any consent you have provided and with the notices you have received.

Disclosures for National Security or Law Enforcement.  Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your EEA Personal Data in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Security
Sales Community maintains reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect EEA Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction in accordance with the Privacy Shield.

Access Rights
You may have the right to access the EEA Personal Data that we hold about you and to request that we correct, amend, or delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of the Privacy Shield.  These access rights may not apply in some cases, including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of someone other than the individual requesting access.  If you would like to request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your EEA Personal Data, you can submit a written request to the contact information provided below.  We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity.  In some circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.

You can direct any questions or complaints about the use or disclosure of your EEA Personal Data to us at https://www.salescommunity.com/support. We will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints or disputes regarding the use or disclosure of your EEA Personal Data within 45 days of receiving your complaint. For any unresolved complaints, we have agreed to cooperate with the EU data protection authorities. If you are unsatisfied with the resolution of your complaint, you may contact the EU data protection authorities at support@salescommunity.com or https://www.salescommunity.com/support for further information and assistance.

Binding Arbitration.  You may have the option to select binding arbitration for the resolution of your complaint under certain circumstances, provided you have taken the following steps: (1) raised your compliant directly with us and provided us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) made use of the independent dispute resolution mechanism identified above; and (3) raised the issue through the relevant data protection authority and allowed the US Department of Commerce an opportunity to resolve the complaint at no cost to you.  For more information on binding arbitration, see US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield Framework: Annex I (Binding Arbitration).
