Data Privacy Framework, the UK extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, the Swiss-U.S.
Privacy Framework and the APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules System. Where we
transfer information from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to a recipient
outside the EEA that is not in an adequate jurisdiction, we do so on the basis
of standard contractual clauses.

Because of the international nature of our business, we may need to transfer
your information within the Ziff Davis, Inc. group of companies, and to third
parties as noted above, in connection with the purposes set out in this Policy.
For this reason, we may transfer your information to other countries that may
have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that
apply in the country in which you are located.

Spiceworks and its associated affiliates and subsidiaries complies with the
EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S.
DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by
the U.S. Department of Commerce. Spiceworks has certified to the U.S. Department
of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles

certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov.

necessary to remain compliant. Any updates will be reflected in this Privacy
Policy.

question about Spiceworks’ privacy practices, please contact us through our DSAR
Portal. Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Data Privacy
Framework website, European individuals may invoke binding arbitration when
other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.

Where we transfer your personal information from the EEA to recipients located
outside the EEA who are not in a jurisdiction that has been formally designated
by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for
information, we do so on the basis of standard contractual clauses. You may
request a copy of the relevant standard contractual clauses using our DSAR
Portal. Please note that when you transfer any personal information directly to

of your information. We will nevertheless process your information, from the
point at which we receive the data, in accordance with the provisions of this
policy.

and manage the interactivity between us and your social media account. By
registering with us through a social media platform, you grant us permission to
access all of the elements of your social network profile information that you
have chosen to share with us and to use it in accordance with the social media
platform’s terms of use and this privacy notice.

Location Based Services. You may opt-out of having your Precise Location Data
collected by Ziff Davis at any time by editing the appropriate setting on your
mobile device (which is usually located in the Settings area of your device).

California Residents. In accordance with the California Online Privacy
Protection Act, we may collect Personal Information about your online activities
when you use the Services. While we give our users many avenues to opt out of
providing Personal Information, we do not respond to Web browsers’ “do not
track” signals. California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code Section 1798.83,
permits our users who are California residents to periodically request and
obtain certain information about any Personal Information disclosed to third
parties for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and wish
to make such a request or if you wish for us to refrain from gathering your
Personal Information, please submit your request in writing to the contact
details set out in Section 14 below.

EU Residents. GDPR provides certain rights for EU residents. You may decline to
share certain information with us, in which case we may not be able to provide
some of the features and functionality of the Services. These rights include, in
accordance with applicable law, the right to object to or request the
restriction of processing of your information, and to request access to,
rectification, erasure and portability of your own information. Where we process
your information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw
that consent (noting that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any
Processing performed prior to the date on which we receive notice of such
withdrawal, and does not prevent the Processing of your Personal Information in
reliance upon any other available legal bases). Requests should be submitted by
contacting us using the Privacy Portal. If you have any further questions upon
receipt of your completed DSAR or if you would like to appeal in case your DSAR
is denied, please resubmit a DSAR request using the DSAR form at  Privacy Portal
and indicate it is an appeal, or email us at privacy@spiceworks.com.  If you are
an EU resident and have any unresolved privacy concern, you have the right to
contact the appropriate EU Supervisory Authority and lodge a complaint.  

Contact and Complaints.  If you are in the UK or EEA, you have the right to make
a complaint to the relevant supervisory authority in your country, the details
of which are available via the links below.  We would, however, appreciate the
chance to deal with your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority,
so please contact us in the first instance.  Questions, comments and requests
regarding this Privacy Policy are welcomed and may be addressed by (i) writing
to us via the contact details set out in Section 14 below; or, (ii) email to
privacy@spiceworks.com with the words “FAO: the Legal Department” at the start
