SamacSys, Ltd. (“SamacSys,” “we,” or “us”) takes the privacy and protection of
personal information very seriously. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”)
describes the privacy practices of SamacSys in connection with the website we
own or control (“Sites”) and services made available through the Sites
(“Services”) and together with the Sites, the “SamacSys Offerings”). Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the SamacSys Terms of Service that you can find at
https://supplyframe.com/company/terms and which incorporate this Privacy Policy
by reference.

GENERAL INFORMATION

As a general principle, your granting of any consent and your provision of any
personal information hereunder is entirely voluntary. However, if you choose not
to allow SamacSys to use your personal information, there may be certain
circumstances in which SamacSys may be unable to provide you with certain
Services, such as processing your orders or providing you with access to a web
offering or newsletter. In these cases, it will unfortunately not be possible
for SamacSys to provide you with what you request without the relevant personal
information.

CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFER

As part of a global group of companies, SamacSys has affiliates and third-party
service providers within, as well as outside of, the European Economic Area (the
“EEA”). As a consequence, whenever SamacSys is using or otherwise processing
your personal information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement,
SamacSys may transfer your personal information to countries outside of the EEA
including to such countries in which a statutory level of data protection
applies that is not comparable to the level of data protection within the EEA.
Whenever such transfer occurs, it is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses
(according to EU Commission Decision 87/2010/EC or any future replacement) in
order to contractually provide that your personal information is subject to a
level of data protection that applies within the EEA.

you or a third party of your choice.
* Restrict. Restrict the processing of your personal information.

why, subject to legal restrictions. If you would like to submit a complaint
about our use of your personal information or our response to your requests
regarding your personal information, you may contact us or submit a complaint to
the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction. You can find your data
protection regulator here.

accordance with the requirements set out herein or applicable EEA data
protection laws, you can at any time lodge a complaint with the data protection
authority of the EEA country in which you live or with the data protection
authority of the country or state in which SamacSys has its registered seat.

Offerings. We may add this information to the information we have already
collected from you via the SamacSys Offerings.

USE OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In general, information (including personal information) you submit to us, or to
third parties that support us in collecting information, is used by us to
provide you and others with the SamacSys Offerings, to respond to requests that
you make, to improve our SamacSys Offerings, and to better tailor the features,
performance and support of the SamacSys Offerings.

We may also use your personal information to provide you with notifications
related to your use of the SamacSys Offerings, such as electronic newsletters or
promotional e-mails.

SamacSys may share User data with other Companies giving them access to personal
information for commercial follow-up purposes. By accessing our content users

acknowledge that the data will be processed by them in accordance with their own
data privacy policies.

identifiable to you. We may also create Anonymous Information on how you use the
SamacSys Offerings. We may use this Anonymous Information for internal purposes,
such as analyzing usage patterns so that we may enhance the SamacSys Offerings,

our discretion.

USE OF PERSONAL DATA BASED ON THE LAW

In the following cases, SamacSys is permitted to process your personal
information under the applicable data protection law.

Providing the requested goods or services. If you order goods or services from
SamacSys, we will use the personal information that you enter into the order or
registration form (usually a subset of your name, email address, telephone
number, company name and address, your job title and role and, if payment is to
be made to SamacSys, credit card number or bank details) only to process your
order or to provide the requested goods or service. This may include taking the
necessary steps prior to entering into the contract, responding to your related
inquiries, and providing you with shipping and billing information, and to
process or provide customer feedback and support. This may also include
conversation data that you may trigger via the chat functionalities on our
Sites, contact forms, emails, or telephone. In this Privacy Policy, “goods and
services” includes (access to) SamacSys Offerings, contests, sweepstakes, other
content, non-marketing related newsletters, whitepapers, tutorials, trainings
and events.

If you participate in tutorials or trainings provided by SamacSys, we may also
track your learning progress in order to make this information available to you.
Furthermore, we communicate on a regular basis by email with users who subscribe
to our services, and we may also communicate by phone to resolve customer
complaints or investigate suspicious transactions. We may use your email address
to confirm your opening of an account, to send you notice of payments, to send
you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices
and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt out of
these communications, which are not marketing-related but merely required for
the relevant business relationship. With regard to marketing-related types of
communication (i.e. emails and phone calls), SamacSys will provide you the
opportunity to opt out if you do not want to receive further marketing-related
types of communication from us.

SamacSys and its products, technologies, and services are subject to the export
laws of various countries including, without limitation, those of the European
Union and its member states, and of the United States of America. You
acknowledge that, pursuant to the applicable export laws, trade sanctions, and
embargoes issued by these countries, SamacSys is required to take measures to
prevent entities, organizations, and parties listed on government-issued
sanctioned-party lists from accessing certain products, technologies, and
services through SamacSys Sites or other delivery channels controlled by
SamacSys. This may include (i) automated checks of any user registration data as
set out herein and other information a user provides about his or her identity
against applicable sanctioned-party lists; (ii) regular repetition of such
checks whenever a sanctioned-party list is updated or when a user updates his or
her information; (iii) blocking of access to SamacSys’s services and systems in
case of a potential match; and (iv) contacting a user to confirm his or her
identity in case of a potential match.

Furthermore, you acknowledge that any information required to track your choices
regarding the processing or use of your personal information or receipt of
marketing materials (that is to say, depending on the country in which the
relevant SamacSys company operates, whether you have expressly consented to or
opted out of receiving marketing materials) may be stored and exchanged between
members of SamacSys as required to ensure compliance.

USES OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION BASED ON MY CONSENT

SamacSys may provide a hashed user ID to third party operated social networks or
other web offerings (such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Google)
where this information is then matched against the social networks’ data or the
web offerings’ own data bases in order to display to you more relevant
information.

SamacSys offers you the option to use its Offerings including forums, blogs, and
networks linked to its Sites that require you to register and create a user
profile. User profiles provide the option to display personal information about
you to other users, including but not limited to your name, photo, social media
accounts, postal or email address, or both, telephone number, personal
interests, skills, and basic information about your company.

These profiles may relate to a single Offering of SamacSys or may also allow you
to access other Offerings of SamacSys or of other entities of SamacSys, or both
(irrespective of any consent granted under the section “Forwarding Your Personal
Data To Other SamacSys Companies.” below). It is, however, always your choice
which of these additional Offerings you use and your personal information is
only forwarded to them once you initially access them. Kindly note that without
your consent for SamacSys to create such user profiles, SamacSys will not be in
a position to offer such services to you where your consent is a statutory
requirement that SamacSys can provide these services to you.

Within any Offerings, beyond the mere provision of access, your profile is used
to personalize interaction with other users (for example, by way of messaging or
follow functionality) and by SamacSys to foster the quality of communication and
collaboration through such Offerings and for SamacSys to provide gamification
elements (gamification is the process of taking something that already exists,
such as a website, an enterprise application, or an online community, and
integrating game mechanics into it to motivate participation, engagement, and
loyalty). To the greatest extent supported by the relevant Offerings, you can
use the functionality of the relevant Offerings to determine which information
you want to share.

SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

In connection with the registration for and provision of access to an event or
seminar, SamacSys may ask for information about your health for the purpose of
identifying and being considerate of individuals who have disabilities or
special dietary requirements throughout the event. Any such use of information
is based on the consent you grant hereunder.

Kindly note that if you do not provide any such information about disabilities
or special dietary requirements, SamacSys will not be able to take any
respective precautions.

If you register for an event, seminar, or webinar of SamacSys, SamacSys may
share basic participant information (your name, company, and email address) with
other participants of the same event, seminar, or webinar for the purpose of
communication and the exchange of ideas.

SamacSys may transfer your personal information to other entities owned by
SamacSys. In such cases, these entities will then use the personal information
for the same purposes and under the same conditions as outlined in this section.

You may at any time withdraw a consent granted. In case of withdrawal, SamacSys
will not process personal information subject to this consent any longer unless
legally required to do so. In case SamacSys is required to retain your personal
information for legal reasons your personal information will be restricted from
further processing and only retained for the term required by law. However, any
withdrawal has no effect on past processing of personal information by SamacSys
up to the point in time of your withdrawal. Furthermore, if your use of an
SamacSys Offering requires your prior consent, SamacSys will not be (any longer)
able to provide the relevant service, offer or event to you after your
revocation.

by law. Our legal bases for processing the personal information described in
this Privacy Policy are described in the table below.

any termination of your Account or related deletion of your information.

databases but may remain in our archives.

or controlled by SamacSys. The provision of such links is for your convenience
and does not signify our endorsement of such web sites or location or its

privacy policies of or content displayed on such other web sites. Please be
aware that the terms of the Privacy Policy do not apply to any outside web
sites.

SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

SamacSys is committed to safeguarding and securing the information we collect
online. We use a variety of industry-standard security technologies and
procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access,
use, or disclosure. We also require you to enter a password to access your
Account information. Please do not disclose your Account password to
unauthorized people. However, no company, including SamacSys, can fully
eliminate security risks associated with personal information.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Under California Civil Code section 1798.83, California residents are entitled
to ask us for a notice identifying the categories of personal customer
information which we share with our affiliates and/or third parties for
marketing purposes, and providing contact information for such affiliates and/or
third parties. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this
notice, please submit a written request to us via email at
privacy@supplyframe.com. You must put the statement "Your California Privacy
Rights" in your request and include your name, street address, city, state, and
ZIP code. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent
properly, or do not have complete information.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This section applies only to California residents. It describes how we collect,
use and share Personal Information of California residents in operating our
business, and their rights with respect to that Personal Information. For
purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the
California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but does not include
information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

As a California resident, you have the rights listed below. However, these
rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as
permitted by law.

* Information. You can request the following information about how we have
collected and used your Personal Information during the past 12 months:
* The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.
* The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.
* The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal
Information.
* The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.
* The categories of Personal Information that we sold or disclosed for a
business purpose.
* The categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold
or disclosed for a business purpose.
* Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have
collected about you during the past 12 months.
* Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have
collected from you.
* Opt-out of sales. If we sell your Personal Information, you can opt-out. In
addition, if you direct us not to sell your Personal Information, we will
consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop
sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for
their direct marketing purposes.
* Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above
free from discrimination as prohibited by the CCPA.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

You may exercise your California privacy rights described above as follows:

* Right to information, access and deletion. You can request to exercise your
information, access and deletion rights by:
* visiting https://componentsearchengine.com/
* calling us toll free at 1-866-786-8339
* emailing legal@supplyframe.com
* Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. We do not sell
your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money).
However, like many companies, we use services that help deliver
interest-based ads to you. California law classifies our use of these
services as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that
provide the services. This is because we allow them to collect information
from our website users (e.g., online identifiers and browsing activity) so
they can help serve ads more likely to interest you. You can request to
opt-out out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My
Personal Information.

We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail
to allow us to understand and respond to it.

We will need to verify your identity to process your information, access and
deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your California residency. To
verify your identity, we may require government identification, a declaration
under penalty of perjury or other information. Your authorized agent may make a
request on your behalf upon our verification of the agent’s identity and our
receipt of a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent
pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000-4465. If you have not provided
your agent with such a power of attorney, you must provide your agent with
written and signed permission to exercise your CCPA rights on your behalf,
provide the information we request to verify your identity, and provide us with
confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the
request.
