European
Safe Harbor Policy |
|
| |
GigTimes
strives to collect, use and disclose personally
identifiable information in a manner consistent
with the laws of the countries in which it does
business and has a tradition of upholding the
highest ethical standards in its business practices.
GigTimes abides by the Safe Harbor Principles
developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce
and the European Commission and the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) issued by the Department
of Commerce on July 21, 2000. This Safe Harbor
Privacy Policy (the "Policy") sets
forth the privacy principles that GigTimes follows
with respect to transfers of personal information
anywhere in the world, including transfers from
the European Economic Area (EEA) to the United
States. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Notice
- Where GigTimes collects personally identifiable
information directly from individuals, it will
inform them about the purposes for which it
collects and uses personal information about
them, the types of non-agent third parties to
which GigTimes discloses that information, and
the choices and means, if any, GigTimes offers
individuals for limiting the use and disclosure
of their personal information. Notice will be
provided in clear and conspicuous language when
individuals are first asked to provide personal
information to GigTimes, or as soon as practicable
thereafter, and in any event before GigTimes
uses the information for a purpose other than
that for which it was originally collected.
As discussed in the Statement of Privacy, GigTimes
will disclose your personal information, without
notice, only if required to do so by law or
in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the
law or comply with legal process served on GigTimes
or the GigTimes.com Web site; (b) protect and
defend the rights or property of GigTimes; and,
(c) act under exigent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of GigTimes, or
the public. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Choice
– GigTimes will offer individuals the
opportunity to choose (opt out) whether their
personally identifiable information is (a) to
be disclosed to a non-agent third party, or
(b) to be used for a purpose other than the
purpose for which it was originally collected
or subsequently authorized by the individual.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
For
sensitive personal information, GigTimes will
give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively
and explicitly (opt in) consent to the disclosure
of the 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. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
GigTimes
will provide individuals with reasonable mechanisms
to exercise their choices should requisite circumstances
arise. |

Access
– Upon request, GigTimes will grant individuals
reasonable access to personal information that
it holds about them. In addition, GigTimes will

to correct, amend, or delete information that
is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete.
GigTimes agrees to process all reasonable requests
for access within a reasonable time period,

access in cases where the burden or cost of
providing access would be disproportionate to
the risks to the individual’s privacy
or in the case of a vexatious or fraudulent
request. |

Enforcement
– Individuals who wish to file a complaint
or who take issue with GigTimes’s EU Safe

the process to be followed when filing a complaint.
Filing a complaint in English will expedite
the process. GigTimes will investigate and attempt
to resolve complaints and disputes regarding
use and disclosure of personal information in
accordance with the principles contained in
this Policy. For complaints that cannot be resolved
between GigTimes and the complainant, GigTimes
has agreed to participate in the dispute resolution
procedures of the panel established by the European
data protection authorities to resolve disputes
pursuant to the Safe Harbor Principles. |
