U.S. Safe Harbor Policy

Introduction
This policy outlines Information Technology Consulting Company’s general policy and practices in implementing the Safe Harbor Principles. The Safe Harbor Principles, in short, are a set of seven privacy principles and fifteen frequently asked questions and answers (FAQs) which outline a “safe harbor” framework developed by the United States Department of Commerce, in consultation with the European Commission and Switzerland.
Information Technology Consulting Company (“Digital Optimization”) complies with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S. Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries and Switzerland. Digital Optimization has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access and enforcement. If there is any conflict between provisions in this policy and those in the Safe Harbor Principles, the provisions in the Safe Harbor Principles will govern. To learn more about the Safe Harbor program please visit 
https://www.export.gov/safeharbor/.

Scope
This policy applies to all personal information that Digital Optimization handles, including contact information that is gathered before and during the provisioning of customer solutions and also during on-going support of these solutions.

Definitions
For purposes of this policy, “personal information” means information that (i) is transferred to Digital Optimization, including any such information transferred from the European Union or Switzerland to the United States; (ii) is recorded in any form; (iii) is about, or pertains to, a specific individual; and (iv) can be linked to that individual. “Personal information” does not include information that pertains to a specific individual, but from which that individual could not reasonably be identified.
Protected health information (“PHI”) is individually identifiable health information maintained or transmitted in any form that is created or received by a health care provider and relates to past, present or future health information of an individual.

Notice
In the course of serving its customers, Digital Optimization acquires, stores and transmits customer contact information that may contain personal information. Personal information – such as the customer’s name, address, telephone number, electronic mail address and credit card data – is provided to Digital Optimization by its customers in order to establish service. Where Digital Optimization collects personal information directly from the individuals, it will inform them about the purposes for which it collects and uses personal information about them, and the choices and means Digital Optimization offers customers for limiting the use and disclosure of personal information.
Digital Optimization may forward specific customer data including personal information to necessary third party providers, but only in conjunction with providing contracted services. From time to time Digital Optimization may provide customers information regarding their current or upcoming products via email, telephone calls or direct mailings. Customers may opt out of these marketing emails by contacting Digital Optimization.

Choice
Individuals may opt out of having their personal information (a) disclosed to a third party that is not a permitted transferee (as defined below) (a “non-transferee third party”) or (b) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual such as receiving marketing information by contacting Digital Optimization. Customers may not, however, opt out of receiving information from Digital Optimization which is essential for maintaining or updating customers’ accounts or system information.

Disclosures and Transfers
Digital Optimization does not disclose an individual’s personal information to third parties except when:

  • Digital Optimization has the individual’s permission to make the disclosure;
  • the disclosure is required by law or mandatory professional standards;
  • the disclosure is reasonably related to the sale or other disposition of all or part of Digital Optimization’s business;
  • the information in question is publicly available;
  • the disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment of legal claims; or
  • the disclosure is to another division of Digital Optimization, to an affiliate of Digital Optimization, or to persons or entities providing services on Digital Optimization’s or the individual’s behalf (each a “permitted transferee”), consistent with the purpose for which the information was obtained, if the permitted transferee, with respect to the information in question (a) is subject to law providing at least the same level of privacy protection as the Safe Harbor Principles; (b) has agreed in writing to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as the Safe Harbor Principles; or (c) subscribes to the Safe Harbor Principles.

Permitted transfers of information include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, including transfers to and from the United States of America.

Security
Digital Optimization protects the confidentiality of its customers’ personal contact and account information. To secure the information collected online, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure only appropriate use of information that is collected from customers, Digital Optimization has implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. Further, Digital Optimization requires that employees keep customer information confidential. Digital Optimization cautions its customers and website visitors that no medium of communication, including the Internet, is entirely secure.

Data Integrity
Digital Optimization processes personal information only in ways compatible with the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for such purposes, Digital Optimization takes reasonable steps to ensure that data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

Enforcement
Digital Optimization is committed to ensuring all customer personal information is handled in a manner consistent with the purpose for which the information was obtained. If a customer has inquiries or complaints about how their personal information is handled, please send an email to Amendment
Digital Optimization may amend this policy from time to time by posting a revised policy on this website, or a similar website that replaces this website. If Digital Optimization amends the policy, the new policy will apply to personal information previously collected only insofar as the rights of the individuals affected are not reduced. So long as Digital Optimization adheres to the Safe Harbor Principles, we will not amend our policy in a manner inconsistent with the Safe Harbor Principles.

Contact Information
If a customer has inquiries or complaints about how their personal information is handled, please send an email to Digital Optimizationadministrator@https://itc2.net. We will provide answers or begin investigations as necessary.

Other Privacy Policies
