Hytix participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks. Hytix is committed to subjecting all personal data received from European Union (EU) member countries and Switzerland, respectively, in reliance on each Privacy Shield Framework, to the Framework’s applicable Principles. To learn more about each Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield List.

Hytix is responsible for the processing of personal data it transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf when such data has been received under the EU – U.S. and Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks, to the extent provided by the EU – U.S. and Swiss – U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks. We comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, Hytix is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, Hytix may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, you may be entitled to invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.

If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal bases depend on the Sites and Hytix Services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:

• We need it to provide or operate the Sites and Hytix Services, including to provide customer support and process your orders, requests, questions and concerns;
• It satisfies another legitimate interest that is not overridden by your data protection interests, including our interest in:
  • collecting product usage, analytics and performance data relating to our Sites and the Hytix Services, in order to maintain, analyze, develop, update, and improve our products and services;
  • maintaining records of bugs, customer support requests and similar requests you file, and our response to these requests;
  • using information to personalize content and features on our Sites and the Hytix Services;
  • detecting, investigating and preventing activities that may violate our policies or applicable laws (such as fraud detection and prevention);
  • maintaining corporate or business records consistent with our retention policies and applicable laws;
  • protecting against activities that may threaten the security, integrity, or availability of our or another party’s products, systems, and services; and
  • for marketing and selling our products and services, consistent with applicable laws.
• We are processing your information to protect our legal rights;
• You give us consent to process your personal data;
• We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation, such as a lawful subpoena or law-enforcement request or to fulfill the lawful instructions of our customers (when they are acting as the controller); and/or
• We have another lawful basis for processing in accordance with applicable EU laws.

If an individual in the EEA has consented to our use of their personal information, and our processing is based on that consent, that individual has the right to withdraw their consent in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, individuals in the EEA have the right to object to that use as specified in Article 21 of the GDPR, though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Sites or Hytix Service. Hytix further acknowledges that EEA data subjects have certain other rights under the GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and to request from the controller access to, and rectification or erasure of, personal data, restriction of processing concerning the data subject, and data portability (in each case, as specified under the GDPR). Where Hytix is acting as a controller, you can initiate a request by contacting us as specified in the “Contacting Us” section below. Please note that if you object to or restrict processing, you may not be able to use the Sites and Hytix Services or certain features any longer.

EEA and Swiss data subjects can contact Hytix’s data protection officer by emailing info@hytix.com.
