14. Self Regulatory Frameworks
We self-certify compliance with:
(a) Safe Harbor
Ad International has certified to its compliance with the Safe Harbor privacy framework for the handling of Personal Information transferred from the EEA/CH.
The European Community has established a data protection regime pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC (the “Directive”). The Directive applies to the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Switzerland has also established a data protection regime pursuant to the Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”). These regimes restrict companies in the EEA and Switzerland (collectively, “EEA/CH”) from transferring Personal Information about individuals in the EEA/CH to the United States, unless there is “adequate protection” for such Personal Information when it is received in the United States. To create such “adequate protection” and allow our Affiliates, Vendors and Business Partners to overcome the restriction on international data transfers established by the Directive and the FADP, we adhere to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles published by US Department of Commerce (“Safe Harbor Principles”) with respect to Personal Information about individuals in the EEA/CH that our subsidiaries and Business Partners in the EEA/CH send to us, (“EEA/CH Data”). More information on the Safe Harbor Principles and Ad International, Inc.’s scope of participation is available at http://export.gov/safeharbor/. Ad International’s policy concerning the processing of EEA/CH Data under its certification can be viewed at http://www.Ad International.com.
