Recruiting & Retaining Top Talent Recruiting & Retaining Top Talent RECRUITING & RETAINING TOP TALENT Rising labor costs and shifting expectations are contributing to unprecedented change in the labor market and altering the way companies and their executives think about talent management. Enabling an ERP Transformation Enabling an ERP Transformation ENABLING AN ERP TRANSFORMATION ERP transformations are business transformations. Finance and accounting expertise is not only needed to prevent ERP transformation failures, but F&A leaders are poised to help drive project plans and outcomes. CFO & CIO Collaboration CFO & CIO Collaboration CFO & CIO COLLABORATION Finance and IT leaders share a common goal of equipping their organizations with ways to work smarter to enable competitive advantage. This intersection between CFO and CIO priorities is driving more unity in terms of strategy and execution. F&A Transformation F&A Transformation F&A TRANSFORMATION F&A teams have embraced their expanding roles, but unprecedented demand for their time coupled with traditional manual processes make it difficult for F&A to execute effectively. Transformation is necessary to address these challenges. IPO Readiness IPO Readiness IPO READINESS F&A leadership can have a significant impact by creating sustainable, scalable processes that can support the business before, during, and long after the IPO. This company-wide effort crosses multiple functional areas and is reinforced by critical project management and a strong technology infrastructure. Mergers & Acquisitions Mergers & Acquisitions MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS Timely, reliable data is critical for decision-making and reporting throughout the M&A lifecycle. Without accurate information, organizations risk making poor business decisions, paying too much, issuing inaccurate financial statements, and other errors. Revenue Cycle Optimization Revenue Cycle Optimization REVENUE CYCLE OPTIMIZATION The revenue cycle refers to the entirety of a company’s ordering process from the time an order is placed until an invoice is paid and settled. The inability to apply payments on time and accurately can not only lock up cash, but also negatively impact future sales and the overall customer experience. Regulatory Compliance Regulatory Compliance REGULATORY COMPLIANCE While the responsibility to maintain compliance stretches across the organization, F&A has a critical role in ensuring compliance with financial rules and regulations. Together with expanding roles, new expectations from stakeholders, and evolving regulatory requirements, these demands can place unsustainable strain on finance and accounting functions.

COOKIES Regarding our use of Cookies, please follow this link to our cookies policy here. 6. YOUR RIGHTS You may have certain rights relating to your Personal Data, subject to local Data Protection Laws. “Data Protection Laws” means all laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the EU General Data Protection Regulation or “GDPR” and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 or “CCPA”), applicable to our processing of your Personal Data under this Statement. We have provided a summary below, but since some of the rights are complex, not all of the details have been included. We encourage you to read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights. Depending on the applicable Data Protection Laws these rights may include the right to: * Access your "Personal Data" held by us, * Know more about how we process your "Personal Data", * Rectify inaccurate "Personal Data" and, taking into account the purpose of processing the "Personal Data", ensure it is complete, * Erase or delete your "Personal Data", subject to certain exceptions, * Restrict our processing of your "Personal Data" (e.g., limit the use or disclosure of “sensitive personal information” as defined in the CCPA), * Transfer your "Personal Data" to another controller, to the extent possible, * Object to any processing of your "Personal Data", * Opt-out of certain disclosures of your "Personal Data" to third parties (e.g., opt-out of “selling” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined in the CCPA), * If you’re under the age of 16, or such other applicable age of consent for privacy purposes in relevant individual jurisdictions, opt-in to certain disclosures of your "Personal Data" to third parties, * Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights described above, * Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects (Automated Decision-Making), and * Withdraw your consent at any time (to the extent we base processing on consent), without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on such consent before its withdrawal. The CCPA require businesses to disclose whether they “sell” or “share” Personal Data, as those two terms are defined in the CCPA. We do not “sell” or “share” your Personal Data. We may share your Personal Data with third parties or allow them to collect your Personal Data if those third parties are authorized service providers, contractors or business partners who have agreed to our contractual limitations as to their retention, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data, or if you use our sites, services or systems to interact with third parties or direct us to disclose your Personal Data to third parties. See Section 4 (Who Do We Share Personal Data With?) above. California law permits residents of California to request certain details about what Personal Data a company shares with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. BlackLine does not share your Personal Data with third parties for the third parties’ own and independent direct marketing purposes. If you have any questions about what Personal Data BlackLine may share with third parties that are not already answered in this Policy, please contact BlackLine at: PrivacyRequest@blackline.com. Financial Incentives: We will not discriminate against you, in any manner prohibited by applicable law, for exercising your rights specified in Section 6 (Your Rights) above. However, if you are a prospective customer, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA. Please review our CCPA Financial Incentives Notice available here for more information. 7. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS To exercise your rights, please contact us by using the information in the “Contacting BlackLine” section, below. Your Personal Data may be processed in responding to these rights. We respond to all legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable Data Protection Laws unless otherwise required by law. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we will contact you if we need additional information from you in order to honor your request or verify your identity. You may authorize another person (your “agent”) to submit a request on your behalf. If an authorized agent will be submitting a request for you, please contact us by using the information in the “Contacting BlackLine” section below. Please note that we are required to verify that your agent has been properly authorized to request information on your behalf (e.g., by asking your agent to provide us with a copy of your written authorization designating them as your authorized agent) and this may take additional time to fulfill your request. You may unsubscribe from our marketing communications by either clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of our e-mails; updating your communication preferences; or contacting us using the information in the “Contacting BlackLine” section below. If you are an employee of a BlackLine customer, we recommend you contact your employer’s system administrator for assistance in accessing, correcting, updating or deleting your Personal Data in our Hosted Service. 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL PERSONAL DATA We process your Personal Data on one of the following legal bases: * Performance of a contract. When you or your company enter into an agreement with us, we will process your Personal Data to fulfill the terms of our contract (for example, the Hosted Service). * Legitimate interests. We may use your Personal Data for our legitimate interests provided that our legitimate interests are not outweighed by any prejudice or harm to your rights and freedoms, including: * improving our products and services and the content on our Public Website or Hosted Service (for example to manage our network, improve the service, and better tailor the features, performance and support of the service); * operating and administering our Public Website and the Hosted Service; * promoting the safety and security of the Public Website and the Hosted Service; * fulfilling your requests and communicating with you when you contact us; and * marketing and promoting the Hosted Service. * Consent. In some cases, you will give us consent to use your Personal Data for a specific purpose. For example, we will rely on your consent to use technical information such as cookie data. * Legal obligations. We may be required to process your Personal Data to comply with our legal obligations. Retention and Storage of Information Collected In accordance with the data minimization and purpose limitation principles, BlackLine will store your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary, and only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes of processing your Personal Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may retain your Personal Data if such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. If we process your Personal Data, it may be erased automatically, or saved in a format which does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn as to your identity as soon as the last specific purpose has been fulfilled. Sensitive Information We will not intentionally collect or process, and do not want you to provide, any sensitive Personal Data, including: * Personal Data that reveals your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership; * genetic or biometric data; * data concerning your medical or health condition; and * data concerning your sex life or sexual orientation. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Neither the Public Website nor the Hosted Service are designed for or directed to children. We do not intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 16. If you believe that we have collected Personal Data from a child under the age of 16, please contact us by using the information in the “Contacting BlackLine” section below, and we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records. Security We take precautions including organizational, technical and physical measures designed to safeguard against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration and unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, the Personal Data we process or use. If you have any questions about the security of Personal Data, please contact us by using the information in the “Contacting BlackLine” section, below. International Transfer of Personal Data Your Personal Data may be collected, transferred to and stored by us in the United States and by our affiliates and third-parties disclosed in Section 4, above, that are based in other countries. Therefore, your Personal Data may be processed outside your jurisdiction, including in countries and jurisdictions that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or your local legislature or regulator, and that may not provide for the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. We have implemented safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection where your Personal Data is transferred outside of your country or jurisdiction. Do Not Track Requests Certain web browsers have incorporated a “Do Not Track” feature. This feature, when turned on, sends a preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Those sites (or the third-party content on those sites) may continue to engage in activities you might view as tracking even though you have expressed this preference, depending on the sites’ privacy practices. Because there is not yet a commonly-accepted standard on how to interpret Do Not Track requests, BlackLine does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track requests on its websites or online services. Changes to this Privacy Statement BlackLine reserves the right to change this Statement as necessary or advisable to accommodate changes to the law, technology, our operations or other circumstances. We encourage you to periodically review this notice for the latest information on our privacy practices. Contacting BlackLine If you have any questions about this Statement or our privacy practices, or if you have a disability and need to access this Statement in a different format, please contact us at PrivacyRequest@blackline.com.
