Privacy Principles
The privacy principles in this Policy have been developed based on the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks.
Notice
Configio is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Configio may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Where Configio collects personal information directly from individuals in the EEA and/or Switzerland, 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 Configio discloses that information, the choices and means, if any, Configio offers individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of personal information about them, and how to contact Configio. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide personal information to Configio, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before Configio uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.
Where Configio receives personal information from its subsidiaries, affiliates or other entities in the EEA and/or Switzerland, it 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.
Choice
Configio 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 other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.
For sensitive personal information, Configio 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.
Configio will provide individuals with reasonable mechanisms to exercise their choices.
Data Integrity
Configio will use personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Configio will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Transfers To Agents
Configio will obtain assurances from its agents that they will safeguard personal information consistently with this Policy. Where Configio has knowledge that an agent is using or disclosing personal information in a manner contrary to this Policy, Configio will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure.
In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU and Swiss individuals received pursuant to the Privacy Shield, Configio is potentially liable.
Access and Correction
Configio provides individuals the right to access personal information that it holds about them. In addition, Configio will take reasonable steps to permit individuals to correct, amend, or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete. In most cases personal information can be accessed and modified by the individual by logging into their account and self-managing their personal information. In an instance where the specific personal information cannot be self-managed the individual should contact the site administrator for support.
Security
Configio will take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Enforcement
Configio will conduct compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this Policy. Any employee that Configio determines is in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
Limitation on Application of Principles
Adherence by Configio to these privacy principles may be limited (a) to the extent required to respond to a legal or ethical obligation; (b) to the extent necessary to meet national security, public interest or law enforcement obligations; and (c) to the extent expressly permitted by an applicable law, rule or regulation.
Internet Privacy
Configio sees the Internet and the use of other technologies as valuable tools for communicating and interacting with consumers. Configio recognizes the importance of maintaining the privacy of information collected online and has created a specific Internet Privacy Policy (the “IPP”) governing the treatment of personal information collected through web sites that it operates. With respect to personal information that is transferred from the European Economic Area or Switzerland to the U.S., the IPP is subordinate to this Policy. However, the IPP also reflects additional legal requirements and evolving standards with respect to Internet privacy.
