Sports Systems Services, Inc.’s EU-US Privacy Shield Compliance
Sports Systems Services, Inc. is committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of Client Personal Data entrusted to us by our clients. Accordingly, Sports Systems Services, Inc. complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom to the United States, respectively. Sports Systems Services, Inc. has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
Client Personal Data processed by Sports Systems Services, Inc. may be subject to contractual agreements with our clients that require more stringent privacy and security safeguards than the requirements in the Privacy Shield Framework. At a minimum, however, Sports Systems Services, Inc. handles Client Personal Data in accordance with the Privacy Shield Privacy Policy, which is based upon principles identified in the Privacy Shield Framework.
Consistent with the Privacy Shield Framework, various principles are limited when a client transfers custody of data to Sports Systems Services, Inc. for processing on the instructions of the client. In those circumstances, Sports Systems Services, Inc. receives the Client Personal Data from the European Union, Switzerland or the United Kingdom as an agent of the client merely for processing and is not required to apply the Notice, Choice, Data Integrity, and Access principles to that information. The client will remain responsible for the Client Personal Data and for compliance with applicable privacy laws and directives.
Sports Systems Services, Inc. notifies and trains appropriate staff members regarding its privacy policies and practices and the consequences for failing to comply with them. Sports Systems Services, Inc. periodically reviews its policies and practices to determine its compliance with the seven principles identified in the Privacy Shield Framework.
Sports Systems Services, Inc.’s Adherence to the Privacy Shield Principles:
Notice
When Sports Systems Services, Inc. receives Client Personal Data for processing pursuant to instructions of a client, we are acting as an agent for that client and do not provide notice to individuals regarding the collection and use of their personal data. Our clients remain responsible for providing notice, if and to the extent they believe such notice is necessary under applicable EU and other law.
Choice
When Sports Systems Services, Inc. receives Client Personal Data from individuals pursuant to instructions of clients, we are acting as an agent for our client and do not provide choice to individuals regarding the collection and use of their personal data. Our clients remain responsible for providing choice, if and to the extent they believe such notice is necessary under applicable EU, Swiss and other law.
Onward Transfer
Sports Systems Services, Inc. does not transfer Client Personal Data to unrelated third parties, unless lawfully directed by a client, or in certain limited or exceptional circumstances in accordance with the Privacy Shield Framework. For example, such circumstances would include disclosures of Client 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. Sports Systems 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.
In the event that Sports Systems Services, Inc. ever needs to transfer Client Personal Data to an unrelated third party, Sports Systems Services, Inc. will ensure that such party either adheres to the Privacy Shield Framework or is subject to the EU Directive on Data Protection, 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 Framework and Sports Systems Services, Inc.’s Privacy Shield Privacy Policy.
In the event that Sports Systems Services, Inc. learns that an unrelated third party to which Sports Systems Services, Inc. has transferred Personal Data is using or disclosing Personal Data in a manner contrary to this Policy, Sports Systems Services, Inc. will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure of such data.
Sports Systems has potential liability in case of onward transfers of Privacy Shield data to third parties.
Access
Contract information and Client Personal Data are accessible only by those Sports Systems Services, Inc. employees who have a reasonable need to access such information in order for us to fulfill contractual and professional obligations. All of our employees have entered into confidentiality agreements requiring that they maintain the confidentiality of Client Personal Data.
EU and Swiss Individuals have access to personal information about them that Sports Systems holds and are able to correct, amend, or delete that information where it is inaccurate, or has been processed in violation of the 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.
Due to the nature of the services Sports Systems Services, Inc. provides, as well as security concerns, the burden, expense and security risks of providing every individual access to Client Personal Data to would be disproportionate with risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question. Such access would risk violating the rights of persons other than the individuals seeking access and would increase the security risks. Therefore, Sports Systems Services, Inc. cannot provide every individual with access to Client Personal Data in order to correct, amend, or delete information, although some individuals in some cases are provided access to Personal Data, in accordance with client mandates.
Security
