3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.

If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

• Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about 
  withdrawing your consent.
   
• Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
• Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services
• Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users
• Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users

withdraw your consent

at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
• For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
• If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
• If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
• If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
• If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct. The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:

• User Account Registration & Authentication Services
• Payment Processors
• Data Storage Service Providers
• Communication & Collaboration Tools
• Social Networks

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.

Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?" above), in the United States, and other countries.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.

European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses:

We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than   six (6) months past the termination of the user's account.

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

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at info@machalliance.org.

Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at info@machalliance.org.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

14. EU-US PRIVACY NOTICE

This EU-US Privacy Notice explains how we adhere to the privacy principles of the Data Privacy Framework with respect to transfers of personal information from the European Union, as well as Norway, Lichtenstein, and Iceland (collectively, “EU”), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, to the United States. We are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of Data Privacy Framework Principles, to enable U.S. companies to satisfy the requirement under European Union law that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred from the EU to the United States. The UK has also recognized the Data Privacy Framework Principals as providing adequate data protection for UK citizens whose personal information is transferred from the UK to the United States. The United States Department of Commerce and the government of Switzerland have agreed on a similar set of Data Privacy Framework Principles, to enable U.S. companies to satisfy the requirement under applicable Swiss law that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred from Switzerland to the United States.

We comply with the Data Privacy Framework Principals regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States. We have certified to the Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Data Privacy Framework Principles.

A. Scope

This EU-US Privacy Notice applies to all personal information received by us in the United States from the EU and from Switzerland, in any format, including electronic, paper or verbal.

B. Definitions

For purposes of this EU-US Privacy Notice, the following definitions will apply:

· “agent” means any third party that collects or uses personal information under our instructions and for us, or to which we disclose personal information for use on our behalf.

· “personal information” and “personal data” means any data, information or data/information set(s) that identifies or could be used by or on behalf of us to identify an individual. Personal information does not include information that is encoded or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public personal information.

· “sensitive personal information” means personal information that reveals race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, views or activities, that concerns health or sex life, ideological views or activities, information on social security measures or benefits, or information on criminal or administrative proceedings and sanctions other than in the context of pending proceedings. In addition, we will treat as sensitive personal information any information received from a third party where that third party treats and explicitly identifies the information as sensitive within the same meaning as used here.

Data Privacy Framework Principles

The privacy principles in this EU-US Privacy Notice have been developed based on the Data Privacy Framework Principles. For purposes of these principles and this Data Privacy Framework Principles section, the term “EU” includes Switzerland.

(i) Notice. Where we collect personal information directly from individuals in the EU, we will inform such individuals about the purposes for which we collect and use personal information about them, the types of non–agent third parties to which we disclose that information, the choices and means, if any, we offer individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of personal information about them, and how to contact us. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide personal information, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before we use or disclose the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

Where we receive personal information from our subsidiaries, affiliates, or other entities in the EU, we will use and disclose such information in accordance with the notices provided by such entities and the choices made by the individuals to whom such personal information relates.

(ii) Choice. We will offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their personal information is (a) to be disclosed to a non-agent third party, or (b) to be used for a purpose that is

materially different than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

In relation to sensitive personal information, we do not solicit such information and there is no need to disclose such information in order to use our services or sites. If we elect in the future to solicit such information, we will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly (opt-in) consent to the disclosure of such solicited information to a non-agent third party or the use of the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. We will provide individuals with reasonable mechanisms to exercise their choices.

(iii) Data Integrity. We will use personal information only in ways that are compatible with and relevant to the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is reliable to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. We will remain compliant for as long as we retain personal information. Personal information will be retained in a form identifying or making identifiable an individual only for so long as necessary to process such information, subject to our right to retain such information for longer periods for the time and to the extent such processing reasonably serves the purposes of archiving in the public interest, journalism, literature and art, scientific or historical research, and statistical analysis.

(iv) Accountability for Onward Transfer. To transfer personal data to an agent, we will: (a) transfer such data only for limited and specified purposes; (b) ascertain that the agent is obligated to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles; (c) take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the personal information transferred in a manner consistent with our obligations under the Data Privacy Framework Principles; (d) require the agent to notify us if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles; (e) upon notice, including under (d), take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing; (f) provide a summary or a representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of its contract with that agent to the Department of Commerce upon request; and (g) enter into enforceable contracts with agents consistent with this policy.

We will undertake to obtain assurances from our agents that they will safeguard personal information consistent with this policy. Examples of appropriate assurances that may be provided by agents include: (h) a contract obligating the agent to provide at least the same or substantially similar level of protection as is required by the relevant Data Privacy Framework Principles, (i) such agent being certified as Data Privacy Framework Principles-compliant, (j) such agent being subject to the EU Data Protection Directive, or (k) such agent being subject to another EU or Swiss adequacy finding (e.g., companies located in Canada). Where we have knowledge that an agent is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this policy, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such use or disclosure.

(v) Access and Correction. Upon request, we will grant individuals reasonable access to personal information that it holds about them. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to permit individuals to correct, amend, or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete, or that has been processed in violation of the Data Privacy Framework Principles, 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.

(vi) Security. We will take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information in our possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and nature of the personal data.

(vii) Enforcement. We will conduct compliance reviews of our relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this EU-US Privacy Notice and appropriate employee and agent training as necessary. Any employee or agent of ours that we determine is in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or service. We will be responsible if our agent processes personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Data Privacy Framework Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

(viii) Dispute Resolution. Any questions or concerns regarding the use or disclosure of personal information should be directed to the Data Processing Officer. We will investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of personal information by reference to this policy in an expeditious manner, and at no cost to the individual.

We have further committed to refer unresolved Data Privacy Framework complaints to JAMS (jamsadr.com), an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States, which serves as our third-party dispute resolution provider for Data Privacy Framework Principles-related disputes. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please contact or visit JAMS for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

Individuals may submit complaints on an individualized basis (and not purporting to be acting in a representative capacity or on behalf of a class) to JAMS. No damages, fees, or other remedies are available. Arbitrators will have the authority only to award individual-specific non-monetary equitable relief (such as access, correction, deletion, or return of the individual data in question). Each party will bear its own attorneys fees, subject to the rules of JAMS.

In addition, individuals may submit disputes to binding arbitration who first comply with pre-arbitration requirements. Arbitration may not be invoked and is not available if the individual’s same claimed violation of the Data Privacy Framework Principles: (a) has previously been subject to binding arbitration; (b) was the subject of a final judgment entered in a court action to which the individual was a party; or (c) was previously settled by the parties. In addition, arbitration is not available if an EU Data Protection Authority: (d) has authority under sections III.5 or III.9 of the Data Privacy Framework Principles; or (e) has the authority to resolve the claimed violation directly with us.

Limitation

Adherence to this EU-US Privacy Notice is limited to the extent (i) required to respond to a legal or ethical obligation; (ii) necessary to meet national security, public interest, or law enforcement obligations; and (iii) expressly permitted by an applicable law, rule or regulation.

Privacy Policy

We recognize the importance of maintaining the privacy of information collected online and via applications, and have created this policy governing the treatment of personal information collected through web sites, services, operations and applications that we operate. The policy reflects additional legal requirements and evolving standards with respect to privacy, and in fact, we utilize this policy in facilitating adherence to the Data Privacy Framework Principles and applicable EU data protection laws. As such, this EU-US Privacy Notice and the Privacy Policy should be construed harmoniously wherever possible; however, with respect to personal information that is transferred from the EU or Switzerland to the US, the Privacy Policy is subordinate to this EU-US Privacy Notice.

Contact Information

Questions or comments regarding this policy should be submitted to the Data Protection Officer as set forth below.
