EU-US Privacy Shield Privacy Statement

HALO is a global business. To offer our services, we may need to transfer your personal information among several countries. We comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area or Switzerland.

HALO has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Privacy Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity and purpose limitation, access, and recourse, enforcement and liability and commits to process in accordance with these Principles all personal data transferred to it by any EU data controller in reliance on this commitment. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.

If you wish to withdraw your consent to our processing of your data or if users feel we are violating the Privacy Shield Principles, they should contact us. If contacting us does not resolve the complaint, users may contact the European Union Data Protection Authorities (“DPAs”). If DPAs finds us to be in violation of the Principles, we will correct the situation and stop processing the data of the user bringing the complaint.

Type of Information Collected

We collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.

As used in this policy, Personal Information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, address, email address, telephone number.

Non-Personal Information is information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as survey responses, demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Sites.

When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Pursuant to the Privacy Shield program, HALO remains accountable, as described in the Privacy Shield Principles, for personal data that it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party.
