US-EU/EEA Safe Harbor

Mapi Values abides by the Safe Harbor Principles as laid out in the Safe Harbor Agreements between the United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission on behalf of the European Union and that US agency and the Federal Data Protection and Information Commission of Switzerland (collectively, the “Safe Harbor Agreements”) and by the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), as applicable.

Mapi Values respects the privacy of its clients (and their clients) and others who may use Mapi Values’ services.

This privacy policy sets forth the privacy principles that Mapi Values follows with respect to the protection and transfer of personal information, including data transfers from European Union or European Economic Area countries (“EU/EEA”) to the United States. This statement applies to all personal information Mapi Values processes (except as noted below), including online and offline data.

"Personal Information" means any information or set of information that is recorded in any form, pertains to or is about you, and can be linked to or used to identify you, and in the case of EU/EEA residents is transferred from the EU/EEA to the United States. Personal Information does not include information that is encoded, anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public personal information. Personal Information does not include information that pertains to or is about a specific person from which that person could not reasonably be identified.

To the extent permitted by the Safe Harbor Agreements, Mapi Values reserves the right to process Personal Information in the course of providing professional services to Mapi Values’ clients without the knowledge of the individual involved. Where appropriate, necessary, and practical, Mapi Values gives both notice of our intent to process Personal Information and a choice to opt-out of processing such information. Participation by you in activities that involve Personal Information is with your consent, after you have been informed how the information will be collected and used.

Mapi Values will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties, except when one or more of the following conditions is true:

• Mapi Values has your permission to make the disclosure.
• The disclosure is required by law or professional standards.
• The information in question is publicly available.
• The disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment or defence of legal claims.
• We have collected your information on behalf of one of our customers, to whom we reserve the right to disclose that information.

Access to Personal Information about individuals is given only to those who have a legitimate need to know the information to carry out their responsibilities. Any third party to whom we disclose Personal Information will be required to also protect that Personal Information.

To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use and confidentiality of information, either for its own purposes or on behalf of its clients and business partners, Mapi Values has put in place and rigorously enforces appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information that Mapi Values processes. You can find more detailed information in the “Data Security Processes and Policies” section below.

If appropriate in the event of a breach of Personal Information security, those persons whose data has been compromised will be sent notice of that breach. That notice may include: a description of the information disclosed, how to contact the discloser and what has been done to prevent future breaches. That notice may be sent by First Class mail, electronic communication, telephone, or by being published in a general circulation newspaper. When notice occurs it will be made without unreasonable delay, but no more than ten (10) days after a breach. If appropriate, we will also notify the police and the Attorney General.

Mapi Values processes Personal Information only in ways compatible with the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by you. To the extent necessary for such purposes, Mapi Values takes reasonable steps to make sure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current and otherwise reliable for its intended use.

If you become aware that information Mapi Values maintains about you is inaccurate and you wish to have it corrected, or if you would like to amend, update, delete or review your information, you may contact Mapi Values at the addresses indicated under “Enforcement and Dispute Resolution” section below. You will need to provide sufficient identifying information, such as name, address, birth date, etc. Mapi Values may request additional identifying information as a security precaution. In addition, Mapi Values may limit or deny your access to Personal Information where providing such access would be unreasonably burdensome or expensive in the circumstances, or as otherwise permitted by the Safe Harbor Agreements.

In every case, Mapi Values will take reasonable steps to permit you to review your information or to correct, amend, update or delete your information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate.

Mapi Values utilizes the self-assessment approach to assure its compliance with this privacy policy. Mapi Values periodically verifies that this privacy policy is accurate, comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, accessible, completely implemented, and in conformity with the Safe Harbor Principles.
