Cataphora is committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of "Personal Data" (as defined below) entrusted to Cataphora by our clients and their legal counsel. Accordingly, Cataphora adheres to and is certified as compliant with the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework between the United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission with respect to Personal Data that is transferred from the European economic area to the United States.
For further information about the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework and the documents that comprise its requirements, see the U.S. Department of Commerce website at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/.
Cataphora has a separate Privacy Policy that applies to the collection and use of personal information from visitors to the website and is accessible on our website at http://www.cataphora.com/privacy_policy.php.
Cataphora Business Purposes for the Collection and Use of Personal Data
Cataphora provides various services associated with data processing and collection and, in providing these services, Cataphora obtains two types of information from our clients:
Cataphora's Adherence to Seven Safe Harbor Principles
Client Personal Data processed by Cataphora may be subject to contractual agreements with our clients that require more stringent privacy and security safeguards than the requirements in the Safe Harbor Agreement. At a minimum, however, Cataphora handles Client Personal Data in accordance with our Safe Harbor Privacy Policy, which is based upon the seven principles identified in the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework. Consistent with the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework, various principles are limited when a client transfers custody of data to Cataphora for processing on the instructions of the client or the client's legal counsel. In those circumstances, Cataphora receives the Client Personal Data from the European Union as an agent of the client merely for processing and is not required to apply the Notice, Choice, Data Integrity and Access principles to that information. The client will remain responsible for the Client Personal Data and for compliance with applicable privacy laws and directives.
Notice
Choice
Onward Transfer
In the event that Cataphora ever needs to transfer Client Personal Data to an unrelated third party, Cataphora will ensure that such party is either subject to the Safe Harbor Agreement, subject to similar laws providing an adequate and equivalent level of privacy protection, or will enter into a written agreement with the third party requiring them to provide protections consistent with the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework and Cataphora's Safe Harbor Privacy Policy. Should Cataphora learn that an unrelated third party to which Cataphora has transferred Personal Data is using or disclosing Personal Data in a manner contrary to this Policy, Cataphora will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure.
Security
Data Integrity
Access
Due to the nature of the services Cataphora provides and security concerns, the burden, expense and security risks of providing individual access to Client Personal Data would be disproportionate with risks to the individual's privacy in the case in question. Such access would risk violating the rights of persons other than the individuals seeking access and would increase the security risks. Therefore Cataphora cannot provide individuals with access to Client Personal Data in order to correct, amend, or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate.
Enforcement
Cataphora will also assure compliance with this Safe Harbor Privacy Policy and the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework by fully investigating and attempting to resolve any complaint or dispute regarding the use and disclosure of personal data in violation of this Privacy Policy. For complaints that cannot be resolved by Cataphora and the complainant, Cataphora agrees to cooperate with data protection authorities located in the European Union (or their authorized representative) and to participate in dispute resolution procedures of those authorities, pursuant to the Safe Harbor Privacy Framework.
