Safe
Harbor Notice of marianland.com
Harbor Standards
This Safe Harbor Notice (the "Notice") sets forth the privacy principles followed by marianland.com in connection with the transfer and protection of "personal information" received from the European Union ("EU") or Switzerland.
About the Safe Harbor
The
"Safe Harbor" program was jointly established in June 2000 by the
United State Department of Commerce and the European Commission, as a method
for transferring personal information from the EU to companies in the Unites
States. Certified companies represent that they are upholding privacy standards
for personal information received from the EU that have been jointly accepted
by the EU Commission and the US Department of Commerce. These standard exceed
current US privacy standards. marianland.com is Safe Harbor certified and upholds
this commitment.
"Personal Information" means information that can directly or indirectly
lead to the identification of a living person, such as an individual's name,
address, e-mail, telephone number, credit card number, medical identification
number, photograph, or other identifying characteristic. The identification
can occur by reference to one or more factors specific to the individual's physical,
physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. Personal information
does not include information that has been anonymized, encoded or otherwise
stripped of its identifiers, or information that is publicly available, unless
combined with other non-public personal information.
Scope
This Notice governs personal information transferred from countries in the EU or Switzerland (which has adopted substantially similar privacy laws to those of the EU), to the United States on behalf of marianland.com. It applies to personal information in electronic and off-line formats.
Safe Harbor Privacy Principles
The following privacy principles apply to the transfer, collection, use or disclosure of personal information form the EU by marianland.com.
Notice:
marianland.com informs individuals in the EU about the purposes for which it
collects and uses their personal information, how to contact marianland.com,
the types of 3rd parties with which marianland.com shares their personal information,
and the choice and means marianland.com offers for limiting the use and disclosure
of their personal information.
Consistent with the Safe Harbor requirements, marianland.com may not be in a
position to furnish notice in certain limited situation. Specifically, notice
is not required where the processing of EU personal information is necessary
to respond to a government inquiry; is required by applicable laws, court orders
or government regulations; or is necessary to protect marianland.com's legal
interests and providing notice would interfere with those interests.
Choice: marianland.com will not process personal information about EU individuals for purposes other than those for which the information was originally obtained or subsequently authorized by the EU individual unless the individual affirmatively and explicitly consents ("opt-in") to the processing, or unless an exception applies. marianland.com also provides EU individuals with the opportunity to withdraw consent at any time ("opt-out"), in which case their personal information will not be further processed.
Data Integrity: marianland.com seeks to ensure that any personal information held about EU individuals is accurate, complete, current and otherwise reliable in relation to the purposes for which the information was obtained. marianland.com collects personal information that is adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purposes for which it is to be processed. EU individuals have a responsibility to assist marianland.com in maintaining accurate, complete and current personal information about them.
Transfers
to Third Parties: marianland.com will not transfer personal information
about EU individuals to 3rd parties unless the 3rd party (a) has provided satisfactory
assurance to marianland.com that it will protect the information consistently
with this Notice; or (b) is located in the EU or a country considered "adequate"
for privacy by the EU Commission, and therefore is required to comply with the
EU data protection laws or substantially equivalent privacy laws; or (c) the
3rd party has also certified to the Safe Harbor, and is accordingly independently
responsible for complying with the Safe Harbor requirements.
Where marianland.com has knowledge that a 3rd party to whom it has provided
EU personal information is processing that information in a manner contrary
to this Notice or the Safe Harbor requirements, marianland.com will take reasonable
steps to prevent or stop the processing.
Access and Correction: Upon written request to marianland.com, marianland.com will provide EU individuals with reasonable access to their personal information. marianland.com will also take reasonable steps to allow EU individuals to review their information for the purposes of correction their information. There are certain limitations to the Access and Correction rights, as set forth in the US Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor website. [http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/]
