9. CLOUDSHAPERS AS A DATA PROCESSOR

 

CloudShapers acts only as a Data Processor with respect to Personal Information that is collected, stored or used by its Customers. CloudShapers’ sole function is to provide the limited technical support needed to run Customers’ systems on CloudShapers’ servers for the benefit of those Customers. In accordance with the provisions of Safe Harbor’s FAQ 10 – Article 17 contracts, CloudShapers has entered into a contract with each one of its customers that defines its obligations with respect to Personal Information. Under the terms of each contract, CloudShapers is obligated to process the data only in accordance with instructions from each Customer and to provide an appropriate level of security for the data. Thus, CloudShapers is not required to apply the safe harbor principles to this information because the Data Controller in the European Union remains responsible for it vis-à-vis each respective individual in accordance with the relevant EU provisions (which may be more stringent than the equivalent Safe Harbor principles).

 

10. CLOUDSHAPERS AS A DATA CONTROLLER

 

CloudShapers only collects Personal Information from individuals in the European Union on an at-will basis. For Personal Information that CloudShapers collects as a first party from subjects in the European Union, the company adheres to Safe Harbor principles (Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Access and Enforcement) as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

 

A. NOTICE

 

Where CloudShapers collects Personal Information directly from individuals in the European Union, before collecting the information it will inform them about the purposes for such collection, the types of non–agent third parties to which CloudShapers discloses that information, the choices and means, if any, CloudShapers offers individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Information, and how to contact CloudShapers.  Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal Information, or as soon thereafter as possible. In no event will CloudShapers use or disclose such information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

 

B. CHOICE

 

CloudShapers collects Personal Information from Visitors who opt to provide the information to CloudShapers on its Website, meaning that CloudShapers does not collect Personal Information without first obtaining the individual’s consent. CloudShapers will not proceed to collect data without the express (“opt-in”) consent of the individual. Moreover, CloudShapers adheres to this Privacy Policy with respect to all such information.

 

C. ONWARD TRANSFER

 

CloudShapers discloses Personal Information externally only as set forth in Section 5 above. CloudShapers takes all possible steps to ensure that its agents and partners respect and follow both the Safe Harbor and company privacy policy when handling data from EU individuals. For example, CloudShapers may have a contract obligating the agent or partner to provide at least the same level of protection as is required by the relevant Safe Harbor principles. CloudShapers is not responsible for agent or partner handling of Personal Information from EU individuals.

 

D. ACCESS

 

CloudShapers will answer questions regarding all Personal Information that we have collected. Upon request, CloudShapers will grant an individual access to his or her Personal Information, or correct, amend, or delete that information where it is inaccurate, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

 

E. SECURITY

 

CloudShapers takes comprehensive measures to ensure proper handling of EU individuals’ data. These steps include employee training, periodic reviews, assessment and implementation of new (or applicable) technologies and purging of data, encryption, firewalls and restrictions on access. In addition, all personal data is located in data center facilities with enhanced security features. All data is safeguarded to established security standards. Due to the nature of the Internet, however, CloudShapers cannot guarantee the security of personal data.

 

F. DATA INTEGRITY

 

We take reasonable measures to ensure that any Personal Information collected is relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used. CloudShapers does not process Personal Information in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. To the extent necessary for those purposes, steps to ensure that data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

 

G. ENFORCEMENT

 

CloudShapers reviews and updates this Privacy Policy periodically. We also perform periodic audits to ensure that our processes adhere to this policy. Individuals with complaints or inquiries should contact us via email at info@cloudshapers.co or at the physical address set forth above in section 5 of this Privacy Policy. If a query or investigation is opened, CloudShapers will make all reasonable attempts to resolve the issue within the scope of this Privacy Policy.

Employees or contractors who violate the terms of this Privacy Policy may be subject to disciplinary consequences up to and including termination of employment or termination or non-renewal of contract, in addition to any other legal measures that may be taken by CloudShapers, its clients, or the affected individuals and their representatives.

This policy is limited by applicable legal, regulatory, ethical, or public interest consideration, and as expressly permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
