7. International Transfers for Personal Information

 

If you are using the Site from outside of the United States of America, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored or processed in the United States, where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using any portion of the Services, you understand and consent to the transfer of your information to our facilities in the United States and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Policy.

Fortress safeguards and enables the global transfer of personal information in a number of ways. The following describes some of the protections that are taken with regard to data originating from certain countries:

– EU – Privacy Shield: Fortress adheres to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Framework concerning the transfer of personal information from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. Accordingly, we follow the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles published by the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Privacy Shield Principles”) with respect to all such data. We comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal information from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions. We specify in contracts with service providers that handle personal information collected by us that the information may only be processed for limited and specified purposes consistent with the purposes laid out in this Policy. Those third parties agree to provide the same level of protection as the Privacy Shield Principles. In certain situations, if a third party that receives personal information from us takes an action that is contrary to the Privacy Shield Principles, we will be liable for those actions unless we can prove that we are not responsible for causing such liability. If we received your information pursuant to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework or the Swiss-U.S. Framework, you may have the right to opt out of (a) disclosures of your personal information to third parties not identified at the time of collection or subsequently authorized, and (b) uses of your personal information for purposes materially different from those disclosed at the time of collection or subsequently authorized. As required by law, we will consider your request with regard to the personal information that we have about you. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. Compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles may be limited, however, in certain cases to the extent necessary to meet national security, public interest, or law enforcement requirements. To learn more about the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, and to view the our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov. A violation of our commitment to EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework may be investigated by the Federal Trade Commission. With respect to personal information received or transferred pursuant to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, we are subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

– Dispute Resolution. In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Fortress commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. EU individuals with questions or concerns about our use of personal information or our Policy should submit a written request to us using the contact information below. If your question or concern is not satisfied through this process we are further committed to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to JAMS, an independent dispute resolution provider located in the United States. Information about how to file a complaint with JAMS related to our Privacy Shield program can be found at https://www.jamsadr.com/eu-us-privacy-shield. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you. Under certain circumstances, EU individuals may seek redress from the Privacy Shield Panel, a binding arbitration mechanism.

8. Information Security

We take commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect the information we collect. Unfortunately the sending of information via the internet is not totally secure and on occasion such information can be intercepted. We cannot guarantee the security of data that you choose to send us electronically, sending such information is entirely at your own risk.

9. Do Not Track Notice

California and Delaware laws require that we indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your browser concerning targeted advertising. “Do Not Track” is a standard that is currently under development. As it is not yet finalized, we adhere to the standards set out in this Policy and do not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests.

10. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information online from children under the age of 18. Please contact us as provided below in the Contact Us section if you believe we may have collected such information without parental or guardian consent.

11. Third Party Links

This Notice does not apply to third-party websites or social media features that may be accessed through links that we provide for your convenience and information. Accessing those links will cause you to leave our Site and may result in the collection of information about you by a third party. We do not control, endorse or make any representations about those third party websites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours.
