8. European Union General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679

European Union General Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 (“GDPR”), approved by the European Parliament on April 14, 2016, and effective May 25, 2018, addresses the protection of natural persons located in the EU with respect to the processing of their Personal Data.

GDPR recognizes that Personal Data shall be:

• processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
• collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes
• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed
• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
• kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed
• processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures

As a Controller, IE shall be responsible for, and shall be able to demonstrate compliance with, the foregoing principles. Therefore, you have the right:

• to request the correction or update of any Personal Data that is incorrect or incomplete; you may do this at any time by e-mailing info@interimexecs.com.
• to request the erasure of your Personal Data (the right to be forgotten)
• to portability of your Personal Data
• to object to the processing of your Personal Data
• not to be subject to a decision based on automated decision-making, including profiling
• to withdraw consent to the processing of your Personal Data
• to register a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you are located in the EU)

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, IE will effect any such request without delay. Where IE is able to comply with a request for erasure by anonymizing the Personal Data, we will do so.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to be forgotten. If you reside in an EU territory, you may request the deletion of your personal data that we collect, store, or process. When you make your request, we will balance your privacy rights with the interest of the general public in having access to the information, as well as the right of others to distribute the information. For instance, we may refuse to delete information regarding financial scams or other unlawful activities. In the event IE receives a request for erasure, or a request to be forgotten, IE has the obligation to erase the personal data without undue delay (and no longer than 30 days after the request is received), where one of the following grounds applies:

• the Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed.
• you withdraw your consent to the collection or processing of your Personal Data.
• you object to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continued collection or processing of your personal data.
• you believe that your Personal Data was unlawfully processed or collected (i.e., in breach of the GDPR).
• your Personal Data must be erased in order to comply with an EU or an EU Member State law to which we are subject.
• such Personal Data was processed in relation to the offer of information society services to a child.

If you would like to submit a request for erasure (request to be forgotten), please use the form linked here.

Where Processing of Personal Data Takes Place

Personal Data is processed in the United States of America.

9. Children’s Privacy

IE’s Sites and Services are not intended for use by minors under the age of 18 and are not targeted to children. IE does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 16, solicit information from such children, or market products to such children.

10. Sensitive Data

We do not intentionally collect, process, transfer, or store Sensitive Data.

11. Cookies

Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log and visitor behavior information. This information is used to track visitor use of the Website, to compile statistical reports on Website activity and to help us make recommendations that are relevant to you.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us to analyze data about webpage traffic and to improve our Website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We use this information for purposes of statistical analysis only.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better Website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Please note that declining or disabling cookies may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Website.

From time to time, we may allow other companies, called ad networks, to serve advertisements to Users. Ad networks include third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors, and research firms. We may “target” some ads to Users who fit a certain general profile; for example, “CFOs in Manufacturing”. To deliver these ads properly, we may include a file, called a web beacon, from these ad networks within pages served by us in order that the networks may provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers as well as to target ads to you while you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a webpage from their sites.

12. Other websites

Our Sites or Services may provide links to third-party applications, products, services, or websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave our Sites or Services. We do not control those third party sites and services or their privacy practices, which may differ from our practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party sites. Any information you choose to provide to, or that is collected by those third parties is not covered by the Agreement. We cannot control the activities of third parties, and we have no responsibility for any use of the information provided by such third parties. Any information you choose to provide to third party websites or products will be governed by the policies of those third party websites and products.

This Privacy Policy only applies to our Website; when you link to other websites you should review their privacy policies.

13. Controlling your Personal Data

As set forth above, you may request the amendment or erasure of your Personal Data.

If you have previously agreed to our use of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, you may withdraw your agreement at any time by writing to us at 110 W Superior St, Suite 703, Chicago Il 60654, or e-mailing us at info@interimexecs.com after which we will remove your data from our database.

We will not sell, distribute, lease, or transfer your Personal Data to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

If you post a Submission to any public forum on our Sites or Services, including any publication, article, social network page, blog, chat room, or other such forum, please be aware that any Personal Data disclosed in your Submission can be read, viewed, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes that neither you nor we control. We may also aggregate all or any part of User Submissions into a resource that we may use, share, or distribute provided that any Personal Data has been anonymized. IE is not responsible for the Personal Data contained in your User Submission.

14. Events hosted by IE

In addition to the Services provided via this Website and related arenas, we host many events to which executives and business professionals are invited. Speakers and guests who attend these events will be asked at the time of registering to attend such event to affirmatively and unequivocally grant to InterimExecs, LLC, its affiliates, and their respective agents the unrestricted right and license to use your name, likeness, and voice in any photograph, production, reproduction, distribution, transmission, publication, public performance, broadcast, or telecast of such events attended by the individual member. If you do not agree to grant such unrestricted right and license, you must not attend the event.

15. Communications between and among Users

Users have certain obligations regarding communications with other Users. Some of these obligations are imposed by applicable law and regulation, and others have become commonplace in on-line communities. Specifically, all Users must respect the terms and conditions of our then-current Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, including all intellectual property rights which may belong to third parties (such as photographs). Users may not download or otherwise disseminate any injurious, violent, offensive, racist, sexist, or xenophobic information or communication that violates the purpose and spirit of IE. Users must not disseminate any information to us or to other Users that is or might be injurious or detrimental to a person, or to his or her professional or social status. Any violation of these guidelines may lead to the restriction, suspension, or termination of access to our Sites and Services.

16. Passwords

Where we have given you, or you have chosen, a password that enables you to access certain parts of our Sites or Services, you are responsible for keeping your password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone.

17. Security

In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Any Personal Data that you provide will be secured with industry-standard protocols and technology.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of Personal Data you transmit to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk.
