cases as part of a reorganization or liquidation in bankruptcy. As part of these

such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative

to protect the safety or security of our Services or to prevent spam, abuse, or
other malicious activity of actors with respect to the Services; or (iv) to

If we are required to disclose Personal Information by law, such as pursuant to
a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order, our policy is to

United States or via mutual legal assistance mechanism (such as a treaty).


CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION

SDxCentral does not target its website to minors. SDxCentral’s website is not
directed to children under the age of 16. SDxCentral does not knowingly collect
Personal Information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that a child
under the age of 16, provided us with Personal Information, we will delete that
information.


PAYMENT PROCESSING

payment processors to process all payments in accordance with Payment Card
Industry (PCI) data security standards.


CHOICES

SDxCentral will not use or share your Personal Information in ways unrelated to
the ones described above without first notifying you and offering a choice. We
will also provide you the opportunity to let us know if you wish to opt-out at
any time of certain or all contact from SDxCentral, and we will use reasonable
efforts to honor such requests. You can access, review, correct, update, delete
or modify your registration or subscription profile information and modify your

relevant account management sections of our Services. If you cannot access your
Personal Information on the Services, please submit a request for support here.


SECURITY AND RETENTION


SECURITY

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is
100% secure, however we take steps that are reasonably necessary to securely
provide our Services. We have put in place reasonably appropriate security
measures designed to prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally
lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. We limit
access to Personal Information only to those employees, agents, contractors and
the third parties who have a business need-to-know.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security
breach. If required, we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a
suspected data security breach. We also require those parties to whom we
transfer your Personal Information to provide acceptable standards of security.


DATA RETENTION

General Retention Periods

We use the following criteria to determine our retention periods: the amount,
nature and sensitivity of your information, the reasons for which we collect and
process your Personal Information, the length of time we have an ongoing
relationship with you and provide you with access to our Services, and
applicable legal requirements. We will retain Personal Information we collect
from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for
example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements), when
we are unable to reasonably verify your identity, or as may otherwise be
required under applicable laws.

Additionally, we cannot delete information when it is needed for the
establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (also known as a “litigation
hold”). In this case, the information must be retained as long as needed for
exercising respective potential legal claims.

When we have no ongoing business need to process your Personal Information, we
will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example,
because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), we will
securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible.

Time Frame of Deletion

If Personal Data can no longer be retained or is no longer necessary, it will be
erased without undue delay.

Anonymization

In some instances, we may choose to anonymize your Personal Information instead
of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize,
we make sure that there is no way that the Personal Information can be linked
back to you or any specific user.


ONWARD TRANSFERS

We are located in the United States, and the Personal Information that we
collect is stored on servers located in the United States. This means that your
Personal Information will be collected, processed and stored in the United
States.

We have implemented safeguards designed to ensure that the Personal Information
we process remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy, including
when processed internationally or by our third-party service providers and
partners.

 


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THE EEA AND U.K.

If the GDPR applies to you because you are in the EEA or the U.K., please read
this section for more information.


SDXCENTRAL AS DATA CONTROLLER OR DATA PROCESSOR

In some instances, SDxCentral acts as a ‘data controller’ of the Personal Data
it collects from you, namely when it determines the means and purposes of the
processing. This includes information that you submit when signing up for the
Services, or the Personal Data that we collect via cookies, or when you opt-in.
Our processing of such Personal Data is subject to this Privacy Policy (and
Cookie Policy).

In other instances, SDxCentral acts as the ‘data processor’, namely when it acts
on behalf of its Customers, who are the data controllers with respect to content
such as white papers that you can access via the Services.

Finally, when SdxCentral enables sponsored links to Customers’ websites, each
party acts as an independent data controller, in which case your Personal Data
is governed by each party’s respective privacy and cookie policies.


STAYING IN CONTROL OF YOUR INFORMATION: YOUR RIGHTS

Your Rights

Individuals in the EEA and U.K. have certain rights in relation to their
Personal Data:

 * The right to be informed – our obligation to inform you that we process your
   Personal Data (and that’s what we’re doing in this Privacy Policy);
 * The right of access – your right to request a copy of the Personal Data we
   hold about you (also known as a ‘data subject access request’);
 * The right to rectification – your right to request that we correct Personal
   Data about you if it is incomplete or inaccurate (though we generally
   recommend first making any changes in your Account Settings);
 * The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’) – under
   certain circumstances, you may ask us to delete the Personal Data we have
   about you (unless there’s an overriding legal reason we need to keep it);
 * The right to restrict processing – your right, under certain circumstances,
   to ask us to suspend our processing of your Personal Data;
 * The right to data portability – your right to ask us for a copy of your
   Personal Data in a common format (for example, a .csv file);
 * The right to object – your right to object to us processing your Personal
   Data (for example, if you object to us processing your data for direct
   marketing); and
 * Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling – our
   obligation to be transparent about any profiling we do, or any automated
   decision-making.

These rights are subject to certain rules around when you can exercise them. If
are located in the EEA or the U.K. and wish to exercise any of the rights set
out above, please contact us (see Who We Are & How to Contact Us).

Exercising Your Rights

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any
of the other rights) unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or
excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request under those
circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your
identity. This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not
disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. Note that if we are
unable to reasonably confirm your identity, we will not be able to honor certain
requests.

We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may
take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have
made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated
as required by law.

In addition, if you no longer wish to receive our marketing/promotional
information, we remind you that you may withdraw your consent to direct
marketing at any time directly from the unsubscribe link included in each
electronic marketing message we send to you. If you do so, we will promptly
update our databases, and will take all reasonable steps to meet your request at
the earliest possible opportunity, but we may continue to contact you to the
extent necessary for the purposes of providing our Services.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the supervisory authority
for data protection issues in your country of residence.

Finally, if you send us a data subject request that relates to our processing
activities when we act as a data processor on behalf of our Customers, or when
Customers directly collect your Personal Data after you’ve clicked on their
sponsored links, we will endeavor to inform the Customer of your requests and
assist as may be required, but SDxCentral is not responsible for responding to
such requests directly. As such, to the extent that your data subject request is
intended for one of our Customers, please submit your request directly to that
Customer.
