‍8. Communication Preferences and Choices

We provide certain choices regarding the information Visitors provide to us. We have created some mechanisms to provide you with control over your information when using our Website.

‍10. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide PFL Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different products, actual retention periods can vary significantly based on criteria such as user expectations or consent, the sensitivity of the data, the availability of automated controls that enable users to delete data, and our legal or contractual obligations.

In the event we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area and Switzerland to other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection, we use a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections.

‍12. Security of Personal Information

Safeguarding personal information is important to us and PFL uses industry standard procedures and processes to protect the personal information obtained through the Website and in connection with the Services. While no systems, applications, or websites are 100% secure, we take reasonable and appropriate steps to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

‍13. Changes to Our Privacy Statement

PFL reserves the right to update or change this Privacy Statement when necessary to reflect changes in our Services, how we use personal information, or changes to the applicable laws. Any updates or changes to this Privacy Statement will be posted to the home page and it is the sole responsibility of the Customer, Visitor, or User to review this Privacy Statement frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will attempt to notify you of such change on our home page prior to the change becoming effective. Your continued use of the Website or Services is deemed to be acceptance of all updates or changes we make to this Privacy Statement and as such, we ask that you review the Privacy Statement periodically for any updates or changes that we may have made.

‍GDPR Statement of Compliance

‍Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which will become enforceable on May 25th, 2018, aims to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the European Union (“EU”).  This rule clarifies how the EU personal data laws apply even beyond the borders of the EU and will replace the European Privacy Directive and national legislations accordingly. Any organization that works with EU residents’ personal data in any manner has obligations to protect the data. PFL Tech, Inc. (“PFL”) is well aware of its role in providing the right tools and processes to support its users and customers in order to meet their GDPR mandates.

‍PFL’s Commitment

At PFL, we have demonstrated our commitment to data privacy and protection by meeting the industry standards for PCI, HIPAA, SOC 1 and SOC 2.  We recognize that the GDPR will help us move towards the highest standards of operations in protecting customer data and PFL attests that we will comply with applicable GDPR regulations as a data processor by the May 25th, 2018 enforcement date.

‍PFL GDPR Roles and Employees

PFL has designated Casey Bartz, Chief Technology Officer, as our Data Protection Officer (DPO) and has a dedicated internal team of cross-functional stakeholders to develop and implement our roadmap for GDPR compliance.  The team is responsible for promoting awareness of the GDPR across the organization, assessing our GDPR readiness, identifying any gap areas and implementing the new policies, procedures and measures.  PFL understands that continuous employee awareness and understanding is vital to the continued compliance of the GDPR.  We have incorporated GDPR specific content to PFL’s onboarding and annual employee training programs.

  • Designating data privacy roles;
    •  
  • Building on existing security policies, processes and controls;
    •  
  • Providing visibility and transparency;
    •  
  • Enhancing data integrity and security;
    •  
  • Portability and transferability of data;

PFL Users and Customers

Compliance with the GDPR requires a partnership between PFL and our users and customers in their use of applicable PFL services. In this context, PFL will act as a data processor and our users and customers will act as data controllers. Working together, we hope to explore opportunities within our relevant service offerings to support our users and customers in meeting their GDPR obligations. PFL encourages partners and customers to independently familiarize themselves with the GDPR. Please direct questions or comments regarding PFL’s data privacy program to ‍
