In addition to the protections provided under other sections of this Data Privacy Policy, the Company will provide the following protections for personal data transferred from the EU or Switzerland to the U.S.:
You will be offered a clear, conspicuous, and readily available mechanism to choose (opt out) whether their personal information is (1) to be disclosed to a third party (other than a third party acting as an agent to perform tasks on behalf of and under the instruction of the Company or (2) to be used for a purpose that is materially different than or incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally utilized or subsequently authorized by the individual.
Additionally, you will be offered a similar choice mechanism to give affirmative or explicit (opt in) choice whether their sensitive personal information is to be disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose other than the purposes for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual by opt-in choice. However, explicit (opt in) choice is not required when the disclosure of the sensitive personal information is (1) in the vital interests of the individual or another person; (2) necessary for the establishment of legal claims or defenses; (3) required to provide medical care or diagnosis; (4) necessary to carry out the organization’s obligations in the field of employment law, or (5) related to personal information that is manifestly made public by the individual.
The Company’s EU and Swiss entities may transfer personal information to a processor in the United States solely for processing purposes. A “processor” is a third party who processes personal information on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of the Company’s EU and/or Swiss entities. When personal information is transferred from the EU and/or Switzerland to the United States solely for processing purposes, the Company’s EU and/or Swiss entities will comply with the applicable data protection laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), respectively and enter into a contract with the processor to ensure that the processor (1) acts only on instructions of the Company’s EU and/or Swiss entities; (2) provides appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information against unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access; and understands whether onward transfers are allowed; and (3) assists the Company’s EU and/or Swiss entities in responding to individuals exercising their rights under the Privacy Shield principles, taking into account the nature of the processing.
After personal information is transferred from the EU and/or Switzerland to Company entities in the United States, the Company may thereafter transfer the personal information to third parties acting as controllers. A “controller” is a person or organization which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal information. Examples of third party controllers may include banks and healthcare providers, or management personnel in other Company offices outside of the U.S. When the Company makes such onward transfers to third party controllers, the Company will comply with the Privacy Shield notice and choice principles and enter into a contract with the third party controller that provides that (1) such personal information may be processed only for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the individual; (2) the third party controller will provide the same level of protections as the Privacy Shield principles; (3) the third party controller will notify the Company if the third party can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection for the personal information as required by the Privacy Shield principles; and (4) upon such notice by the third party controller, the third party controller will cease processing the personal information and/or take reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate any unauthorized processing.
After personal information is transferred from the EU and/or Switzerland to Company entities in the United States, the Company may thereafter transfer the personal information of a small number of individuals for occasional employment-related operational needs, if any, such as the booking of a flight, hotel room, or insurance coverage. When the Company makes such onward transfers, it will comply with the Privacy Shield Notice and Choice principles.
The Company has verified and will verify annually through self-assessment that the attestations and assertions made about its Privacy Shield privacy practices are true and that those privacy practices have been implemented as represented and in accordance with the Privacy Shield principles. This verification has been and will be signed by an officer of the Company or other authorized representative of the Company at least once a year and is available upon request by individuals or in the context of an investigation or a complaint about non-compliance. The verification includes the following:
Inquiries or complaints regarding transfers of personal data from the EU or Switzerland to the U.S. pursuant to Privacy Shield should be directed to our Director of Security and Compliance by e-mail at security@ibex.co.

A listing of the EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) is located at: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm. Individuals in Switzerland should contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (the Commissioner) for resolution. Information regarding the Commissioner is located at: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/?lang=en.
The Company will cooperate with the DPA’s and/or the Commissioner and comply with the advice of the DPA’s and/or Commissioner. In the event that the DPA’s and/or the Commissioner determines that the Company did not comply with this Policy or Privacy Shield principles, the Company will take appropriate steps to address any adverse effects and to promote future compliance, comply with any advice given by the DPA’s and/or the Commissioner where the DPA’s and/or the Commissioner has determined that the Company needs to take specific remedial or compensatory measures for the benefit of individuals affected by any non-compliance with this Policy or the Privacy Shield principles, and provide the DPA’s and/or the Commissioner with written confirmation that such action has be taken.
Under certain conditions specified by the Privacy Shield Privacy Principles, you may also be able to invoke binding arbitration to resolve your complaints.
The Company is also subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the United States Federal Trade Commission.
In the context of an onward transfer of personal information, the Company has responsibility for the processing of personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party agent. The Company will remain liable under the Privacy Shield principles if its third party agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield principles, unless the Company proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
All employees who handle personal data transferred from the EU or Switzerland to the U.S. will receive training regarding the data privacy principles and procedures under Privacy Shield Principles and this Policy.

When the Company engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf, such third parties are required by contract to process the personal data based on the Company’s written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality, and are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of the personal data.
When the Company shares personal information of EU residents with affiliated companies, vendors, and business customers located outside of the EU, such as the U.S., the Company uses appropriate safeguards such as standard contract clauses to protect the personal information.
