As described in the Privacy Shield Principles, Datameer is accountable for Personal Information that it receives and subsequently transfers to third parties. If third parties that process Personal Information on our behalf do so in a manner that does not comply with the Privacy Shield Principles, we are accountable, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. We conduct periodic self-assessments to verify that we comply with the Privacy Shield Principles, that the attestations and assertions we make about our privacy practices are true, and that such privacy practices have been implemented as presented in this Privacy Policy.

Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective following our posting of notice of the changes on our Website. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Website. Please note that at all times you are responsible for updating your Personal Information to provide us with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. If you do not wish to permit changes in our use of your Personal Information, you must notify us prior to the effective date of the changes.
