SELLIGENT MARKETING CLOUD PRIVACY SHIELD STATEMENT

This Privacy Shield Statement (“Statement”) describes how Selligent Inc. and its U.S. affiliates all d/b/a Marigold Engage (“Marigold Engage” or “we” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses certain personally identifiable information that is transferred from the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland (“EU Personal Data”) to us in the United States (“U.S.”). In this Policy, the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland are collectively referred to as the “EU”. This Statement supplements our Privacy Policy located here, and unless specifically defined in this Statement, the terms in this Statement have the same meaning as in our Privacy Policy.

Marigold Engage recognizes that the EU has established strict protections regarding the handling of EU Personal Data, including requirements to provide adequate protection for EU Personal Data transferred outside of the EU. To provide adequate protection for certain EU Personal Data relating to website visitors, customers, prospective customers, partners, vendors, third party suppliers and contractors that Marigold Engage receives in the U.S., Marigold Engage has elected to self-certify to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce (collectively, “Privacy Shield Frameworks”).

For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Privacy Shield Frameworks, Marigold Engage is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. For more information about the Privacy Shield, see the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website located at https://www.privacyshield.gov.

Types of EU Personal Data Collected

Marigold Engage collects, receives and uses EU Personal Data for purposes of providing products and services to our customers, communicating with corporate business partners about business matters, processing EU Personal Data on behalf of corporate customers, providing information on our/their services, and conducting related tasks for legitimate business purposes and hiring and managing our employees.

Marigold Engage collects EU Personal Data (i) from individuals who visit our website and voluntarily provide their information, and (ii) on behalf of our customers and (iii) from employees, vendors, contractors and agents, including the following specific types of information:

  • contact information of individual representatives of the businesses with whom we or our customers are dealing, including, without limitation, names, addresses, work phone numbers, work email addresses, etc. of EU Persons;
  • information from visitors to our websites;
  • In connection with some of our services, our customers use our hosted technology platform to provide EU Personal Data to us for processing on their behalf or to request that we collect EU Personal Data of their customers and clients to process on our Customer’s behalf;
  • Support services we provide to our customers, both from the United States and European customer service centers; and
  • Employee compliance programs provided through online learning management systems,

As EU Personal Data covered by this statement is by definition generally sent or provided to us by another company in the EU (e.g., a customer to us or our affiliate), the categories of data sent and the purposes it is sent often depend on the other company, with whom the EU Person typically has a closer employment or business relationship (and which, therefore, can provide additional information on categories of data shared with us). Marigold Engage will not use EU Personal Data provided by our EU based customers or affiliates purposes compatible with the permitted purposes for which it was collected or for which we are processing, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and otherwise stated in our agreements with our customers or affiliates. Marigold Engage will not use EU Personal Data of our EU employees without notice to such employee.

Use of EU Personal Data

EU Personal Data may be collected by us or provided to us for the following purposes:

  • Providing information about our products, services and events;
  • Providing products, services and support to our customers;
  • Communicating with business partners, vendors, agents and contractors about business matters;
  • Analysis of information in order to improve business practices, products and services;
  • Hiring, managing and termination of employees;
  • Conducting related tasks for legitimate business purposes;
  • Other purposes disclosed at the time of collection; and
  • National security or law enforcement requirements, or when we have determined that we need to do so in order to comply with applicable law.

We may transfer EU Personal Data to our third-party agents, subprocessors or service providers which perform functions on our behalf. Where required by the Privacy Shield, we enter into written agreements with those third-party agents, subprocessors and service providers requiring them to provide the same level of protection that the Privacy Shield, applicable law and we require and limiting their use of the EU Personal Data to the specified services they are providing to us. We take reasonable and appropriate steps (i) to ensure that third party agents, subprocessors and service providers process EU Personal Data in accordance with the Privacy Shield, applicable law and our obligations and (ii) to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing. Under certain circumstances, we may remain liable for the acts of our third-party agents, subprocessors or service providers that perform services on our behalf for their handling of EU Personal Data that we provide to them for processing.

Before we use EU Personal Data collected by our customers and provided to us for processing for a purpose that is materially different than the purpose stated in our agreement with a customer, we will ensure that our customer authorizes us to do so. Before we use EU Personal Data collected by us for a purpose that is materially different than the purpose for which it was collected by us or later authorized, we will ensure that we have a lawful basis to do so. Marigold Engage maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that EU Personal Data is processed in accordance with the purpose and any lawful basis.

We may collect, or our customers may provide to us when using Marigold Engage services, certain EU Personal Data that is regarded as “sensitive,” including data concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, or data concerning health or sex life. When we directly collect sensitive EU Personal Data, we will obtain opt-in consent where the Privacy Shield requires, including if we disclose sensitive EU Personal Data to third parties, or before we use sensitive EU Personal Data for a different purpose than we or our customers collected it for or than the data subject later authorized.

Adherence to Seven Privacy Shield Principles

As part of its certification to the Privacy Shield, Marigold Engage adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability. Personal Data processed or stored by Marigold Engage may be subject to contractual agreements with our customers that require more stringent privacy and security safeguards than the requirements in the Privacy Shield. At a minimum, however, Marigold Engage handles EU Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Shield Policy, which is based upon these seven principles identified in the Privacy Shield.

When Marigold Engage receives EU Personal Data from its customers for processing pursuant to their instructions or their partners’ instructions, we are acting as an agent for our customer and do not provide notice to individuals regarding the collection, use or processing of their personal data. Our customers remain responsible for providing notice, if and to the extent they believe such notice is necessary under applicable EU law.

With respect to emails sent by our customers or by us on behalf of our customers, EU Persons may opt-out of receiving further email communications from Marigold Engage or Marigold Engage customers by following opt-out instructions that are contained in the bottom of the email communication you received.

Security

Marigold Engage maintains reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect EU Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction in accordance with the Privacy Shield.

Accountability of Onward Transfer

Marigold Engage recognizes potential liability in cases of onward transfer to third parties. Marigold Engage will not transfer any EU Personal Data to a third-party without first ensuring that the third-party adheres to the Privacy Shield principles. Marigold Engage does not transfer EU Personal Data to unrelated third parties, unless lawfully directed by a customer who provided such data, or in certain limited or exceptional circumstances in accordance with the Privacy Shield Frameworks. For example, such circumstances would include disclosures of EU Personal Data required by law or legal process, or disclosures made in the vital interest of an identifiable person such as those involving life, health or safety.

In the event that Marigold Engage is requested to transfer EU Personal Data to an unrelated third party, Marigold Engage will ensure that such party is either certified under the Privacy Shield, subject to similar laws providing an adequate and equivalent level of privacy protection, or will enter into a written agreement with the third party requiring them to provide protections consistent with the Privacy Shield Frameworks and Marigold Engage’s Privacy Shield Statement. Should Marigold Engage learn that an unrelated third party to which EU Personal Data has been transferred by Marigold Engage is using or disclosing EU Personal Data in a manner contrary to this Policy, Marigold Engage will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure.

Contact information and EU Personal Data is accessible only by those Marigold Engage employees and consultants who have a reasonable need to access such information in order for us to fulfill contractual, legal and professional obligations. All of our employees and consultants have entered into strict confidentiality agreements, and/or have been subjected to thorough criminal background checks requiring that they maintain the confidentiality of EU Personal Data.

Annual Assessment

Marigold Engage assures compliance with this Privacy Shield Statement by utilizing the self-assessment approach as specified by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The assessment is conducted on an annual basis to ensure that all of Marigold Engage’s relevant privacy practices are being followed in conformance with the Privacy Shield Statement and the Privacy Shield Frameworks. Any employee that Marigold Engage determines is in violation of these policies will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment and/or criminal prosecution.
