To provide adequate protection for certain EU and/or Swiss Personal Data relating to website visitors, customers, prospective customers, partners, vendors, third party suppliers and contractors that Hinda receives in the U.S., Hinda complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (collectively, “Privacy Shield”) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. Hinda has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield. Hinda adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Policy and the Privacy Shield, the Privacy Shield shall govern.
