As a data processor, we obtain and process EEA Personal Information on behalf of and under the instructions of our customers in connection with the Scout Services (“Services”).

As a data controller, we may collect and process EEA Personal Information directly from individuals, either via our publicly available websites, including www.goscoutgo.com and skill.com or in connection with our customer, partner, and vendor relationships.

LIABILITY FOR ONWARD TRANSFER

Scout Exchange is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives under the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DP and subsequently transfers to a third party agent acting on its behalf. Scout Exchange shall remain liable under the Data Privacy Framework Principles if its agents that it engages to process such personal information do so in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Scout Exchange proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

CHOICES

When providing the Services, our customers choose the types of Personal Information that they submit to us and the purposes of the processing. Accordingly, our customers are responsible for providing notice to individuals.

To the extent Personal Information is (i) to be used for a purpose that is materially different from the purposes for which the Personal Information was originally collected or subsequently authorized, or (ii) transferred to a third party acting as a data controller, individuals will be given, where practical and appropriate, an opportunity to opt-out of having their Personal Information so used or transferred where it involves non-sensitive information. Where such use or transfer involves sensitive information, individuals must opt-in before such use or transfer.

Individuals whose data is subject to this Data Privacy Framework Notice and whose data is submitted directly to us have rights to access Personal Information and may request corrections, deletions, or additions where the Personal Information is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Principles. We may limit or deny access to Personal Information where providing such access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances, or as otherwise permitted by the Principles.

When providing our Services, we only process and disclose the Personal Information as specified in our Services agreements with customers. Our customers control how Personal Information is disclosed to us and processed, and how it can be modified. Accordingly, individuals that wish to request access, or to limit use or disclosure of Personal Information that was provided to one of our customers, should contact the company to which they submitted their Personal Information and that uses our Services. We will support our customers in responding to these requests.
