In ‎the ‎following ‎countries, ‎from ‎the ‎EU's ‎perspective, ‎an ‎adequate ‎level ‎of ‎protection ‎for ‎the ‎processing ‎of ‎personal ‎data ‎corresponding ‎to ‎EU ‎standards ‎exists ‎(‎so-called ‎adequacy ‎decision)‎:‎ ‎Andorra, ‎Argentina, ‎Canada ‎(‎limited)‎, ‎Faroe ‎Islands, ‎Guernsey, ‎Israel, ‎Isle ‎of ‎Man, ‎Japan, ‎Jersey, ‎New ‎Zealand, ‎Switzerland, ‎Uruguay.‎ ‎The ‎US ‎and ‎EU ‎have ‎also ‎executed ‎a ‎Data ‎Pact ‎whereby ‎company ‎who ‎certify ‎under ‎the ‎Pact ‎are ‎considered ‎to ‎provide ‎adequate ‎protections, ‎as ‎well.‎ ‎With ‎recipients ‎in ‎other ‎countries, ‎or ‎US ‎recipients ‎who ‎have ‎not ‎certified ‎under ‎the ‎EU-US ‎Data ‎Pactwe ‎agree ‎to ‎use ‎EU ‎standard ‎contractual ‎clauses, ‎binding ‎corporate ‎rules, ‎or ‎other ‎permissible ‎mechanisms ‎to ‎provide ‎an ‎"adequate ‎level ‎of ‎protection" ‎in ‎accordance ‎with ‎legal ‎requirements.‎ ‎We ‎will ‎be ‎happy ‎to ‎provide ‎you ‎with ‎information ‎on ‎this ‎via ‎the ‎contact ‎details ‎provided ‎above.‎

Data ‎security ‎and ‎confidentiality

In ‎order ‎to ‎maintain ‎the ‎highest ‎level ‎of ‎Customer ‎and ‎Supplier ‎protection, ‎we ‎adhere ‎to ‎the ‎applicable ‎industry ‎rules ‎and ‎regulations.‎ ‎Thus, ‎we ‎maintain ‎commercially ‎reasonable ‎and ‎appropriate ‎physical, ‎technical, ‎and ‎organizational ‎measures ‎and ‎procedures ‎to ‎safeguard ‎and ‎secure ‎your ‎Personal ‎Information ‎during ‎processing, ‎particularly ‎collection, ‎transmission, ‎and ‎storage.‎ ‎Your ‎Personal ‎Information ‎is ‎only ‎accessible ‎by ‎authorized ‎personnel ‎familiar ‎with ‎Cleverbridge's ‎data ‎privacy ‎policies.‎

Transport ‎Layer ‎Security ‎(‎TLS)‎

All ‎access ‎to ‎the ‎Store's ‎ordering ‎pages ‎is ‎granted ‎using ‎Transport ‎Layer ‎Security ‎(‎TLS)‎ ‎technology, ‎which ‎encrypts ‎Personal ‎Information ‎you ‎provide ‎during ‎the ‎ordering ‎process.‎ ‎This ‎protects ‎confidential ‎data ‎from ‎being ‎intercepted ‎by ‎third ‎parties ‎and ‎transfers ‎your ‎Personal ‎Information ‎through ‎a ‎secure ‎channel.‎ ‎To ‎ensure ‎this ‎level ‎of ‎security, ‎our ‎systems ‎use ‎a ‎certificate ‎in ‎keeping ‎with ‎common ‎ecommerce ‎practice.‎ ‎This ‎certificate ‎is ‎issued ‎by ‎a ‎trusted ‎security ‎provider.‎ ‎All ‎standard ‎web ‎browsers ‎support ‎this ‎technology ‎and ‎accept ‎the ‎certificates ‎from ‎trusted ‎security ‎providers ‎automatically.‎ ‎If ‎you ‎have ‎any ‎questions ‎about ‎security, ‎you ‎can ‎contact ‎us ‎via ‎our ‎Help ‎Center.‎

Credit ‎Card ‎Data

Cleverbridge ‎maintains ‎full ‎compliance ‎with ‎PCI ‎DSS ‎(‎Payment ‎Card ‎Industry ‎Data ‎Security ‎Standard)‎ ‎to ‎enhance ‎payment ‎card ‎data ‎security ‎and ‎provide ‎a ‎secure ‎ecommerce ‎environment ‎for ‎our ‎Customers.‎ ‎The ‎PCI ‎DSS ‎standard ‎lays ‎out ‎requirements ‎for ‎network ‎architecture, ‎software ‎development, ‎security ‎management, ‎and ‎other ‎critical ‎proactive ‎measures ‎to ‎ensure ‎the ‎safety ‎of ‎payment ‎card ‎transactions.‎ ‎Each ‎year ‎a ‎Qualified ‎Security ‎Assessor ‎thoroughly ‎examines ‎the ‎technical ‎and ‎organizational ‎measures ‎within ‎Cleverbridge ‎to ‎make ‎sure ‎we ‎adhere ‎to ‎the ‎strict ‎PCI ‎regulations.‎

Thus, ‎we ‎disclose ‎only ‎the ‎last ‎four ‎digits ‎of ‎your ‎credit ‎card ‎numbers ‎when ‎confirming ‎an ‎order.‎ ‎But ‎we ‎transmit ‎the ‎entire ‎credit ‎card ‎number ‎only ‎to ‎the ‎appropriate ‎payment ‎processor ‎during ‎order ‎processing.‎ ‎Due ‎to ‎the ‎requirements ‎of ‎the ‎PCI ‎DSS, ‎this ‎transfer ‎is ‎secured ‎using ‎transport-layer-security ‎(‎TLS)‎.‎

Profiling ‎and ‎Automated ‎decision-making

1.‎ ‎Profiling

In ‎certain ‎instances, ‎Cleverbridge ‎automatically ‎processes ‎your ‎data ‎to ‎analyze ‎and/or ‎predict ‎your ‎interactions ‎with ‎Cleverbridge ‎– ‎referred ‎to ‎as ‎"profiling" ‎– ‎for ‎the ‎purpose ‎of ‎optimizing ‎your ‎user ‎experience.‎ ‎More ‎specifically, ‎we ‎use ‎profiling ‎to ‎compare ‎past ‎purchasing ‎behavior ‎to ‎current ‎purchasing ‎behavior ‎to ‎ensure ‎a ‎current ‎purchase ‎is ‎not ‎fraudulent, ‎detect ‎payment ‎processing ‎anomalies ‎such ‎technical ‎difficulties ‎completing ‎card ‎transactions, ‎and ‎customizing ‎our ‎communications ‎with ‎you, ‎including ‎marketing ‎communications ‎(‎but ‎only ‎where ‎we ‎have ‎obtained ‎the ‎appropriate ‎consents ‎to ‎do ‎so)‎.‎

    ‎ ‎
  • If ‎you ‎have ‎questions ‎about ‎profiling, ‎or ‎you ‎want ‎us ‎to ‎terminate ‎profiling, ‎please ‎contact ‎via ‎one ‎of ‎the ‎methods ‎disclosed ‎above.‎ ‎Please ‎note ‎that ‎some ‎profiling ‎is ‎required ‎to ‎continue ‎a ‎subscription ‎product ‎or ‎to ‎make ‎a ‎purchase ‎from ‎Cleverbridge, ‎so ‎terminating ‎may ‎prohibit ‎your ‎access ‎to ‎these ‎services.‎

2.‎ ‎Automated ‎decision-making

Cleverbridge ‎uses ‎profiling ‎in ‎conjunction ‎with ‎automated ‎decision-making.‎ ‎Automated ‎decision-making ‎means ‎that ‎Cleverbridge’s ‎platform ‎makes ‎certain ‎decisions ‎based ‎on ‎automated ‎data ‎processing, ‎without ‎the ‎involvement ‎of ‎a ‎human.‎ ‎Some ‎of ‎this ‎automated ‎decision-making ‎has ‎little-to-no ‎impact ‎on ‎you, ‎such ‎as ‎which ‎marketing ‎communication ‎you ‎receive.‎ ‎But ‎some ‎automated ‎decision-making ‎impacts ‎your ‎ability ‎to ‎complete ‎your ‎transaction, ‎such ‎as ‎preventing ‎the ‎transaction ‎if ‎it ‎is ‎flagged ‎as ‎fraudulent.‎ ‎Specifically, ‎Cleverbridge ‎uses ‎automated ‎checks ‎to ‎prevent ‎payment ‎fraud ‎and ‎to ‎avoid ‎violations ‎against ‎governmental ‎denied-party ‎lists ‎(‎e.‎g.‎ ‎OFAC)‎ ‎and ‎to ‎detect ‎anomalies ‎in ‎payment ‎processing.‎

We ‎make ‎this ‎kind ‎of ‎automated ‎decision ‎when ‎we:‎

    ‎ ‎
  • decide ‎to ‎approve ‎your ‎purchase, ‎completing ‎your ‎transaction ‎and ‎charging ‎the ‎payment ‎method ‎provided.‎
  • ‎ ‎
  • decide ‎not ‎to ‎approve ‎your ‎transaction ‎because ‎it:‎
    • May ‎be ‎fraudulent.‎ ‎If ‎our ‎automated ‎process ‎shows ‎that ‎your ‎behavior ‎indicates ‎possible ‎fraudulent ‎conduct, ‎that ‎your ‎behavior ‎is ‎not ‎consistent ‎with ‎previous ‎use ‎of ‎our ‎services, ‎or ‎that ‎you ‎have ‎attempted ‎to ‎conceal ‎your ‎true ‎identity, ‎we ‎will ‎decline ‎your ‎transaction.‎ ‎In ‎such ‎cases, ‎we ‎use ‎information ‎you ‎have ‎provided ‎to ‎us, ‎data ‎from ‎Maxmind, ‎Inc.‎ ‎(‎a ‎fraud ‎prevention ‎service)‎, ‎and ‎Cleverbridge’s ‎internal ‎data.‎ ‎In ‎some ‎cases, ‎this ‎data ‎will ‎be ‎evaluated ‎through ‎a ‎machine ‎learning ‎algorithm ‎that ‎assigns ‎a ‎risk ‎score ‎to ‎your ‎transaction ‎as ‎part ‎of ‎the ‎risk ‎assessment.‎ ‎We ‎continuously ‎develop ‎our ‎fraud ‎models ‎to ‎keep ‎your ‎transactions ‎secure, ‎and ‎closely ‎investigate ‎how ‎fraud ‎patterns ‎change ‎(‎for ‎example ‎which ‎merchant ‎categories ‎or ‎products ‎are ‎mostly ‎subject ‎to ‎fraud ‎attempts)‎.‎
    • May ‎constitute ‎money ‎laundering.‎ ‎Our ‎automated ‎process ‎analyzes ‎whether ‎your ‎behavior ‎may ‎indicate ‎money ‎laundering.‎
    • Comes ‎from ‎a ‎person, ‎entity, ‎or ‎location ‎listed ‎on ‎sanction ‎lists, ‎as ‎discussed ‎in ‎more ‎detail ‎above ‎in ‎our ‎Export ‎Compliance ‎section.‎

Aside ‎from ‎the ‎above-disclosed ‎purposes, ‎we ‎do ‎not ‎process ‎your ‎Personal ‎Information ‎for ‎any ‎other ‎automated ‎decision-making, ‎including ‎profiling, ‎referred ‎to ‎in ‎Art.‎ ‎22(‎1)‎ ‎and ‎(‎4)‎ ‎GDPR.‎

Data ‎Retention

Cleverbridge ‎will ‎retain ‎Personal ‎Information ‎for ‎as ‎long ‎as ‎needed ‎to ‎facilitate ‎the ‎sale ‎of ‎Products ‎for ‎which ‎the ‎Suppliers ‎have ‎engaged ‎Cleverbridge ‎as ‎well ‎as ‎to ‎comply ‎with ‎legal ‎obligations ‎(‎statutory ‎retention ‎periods)‎, ‎resolve ‎disputes, ‎and ‎enforce ‎our ‎agreements.‎

In ‎general, ‎we ‎delete ‎your ‎Personal ‎Information ‎as ‎soon ‎as ‎it ‎is ‎no ‎longer ‎required ‎for ‎the ‎above-mentioned ‎purposes, ‎unless ‎temporary ‎storage ‎is ‎still ‎necessary.‎ ‎We ‎store ‎your ‎Per-sonal ‎Information ‎on ‎the ‎basis ‎of ‎legal ‎proof ‎and ‎storage ‎obligations, ‎which ‎result ‎among ‎oth-er ‎things ‎from ‎the ‎German ‎Commercial ‎Code ‎and ‎the ‎German ‎Tax ‎Code, ‎according ‎to ‎which ‎the ‎storage ‎periods ‎are ‎up ‎to ‎ten ‎full ‎years.‎ ‎In ‎addition, ‎we ‎keep ‎your ‎data ‎for ‎the ‎peri-od ‎during ‎which ‎claims ‎can ‎be ‎asserted ‎against ‎our ‎company.‎

Upon ‎your ‎request, ‎we ‎will ‎restrict ‎the ‎processing ‎of ‎your ‎Personal ‎Information ‎based ‎on ‎ap-plicable ‎law.‎ ‎Once ‎the ‎statutory ‎retention ‎periods ‎have ‎expired, ‎the ‎data ‎will ‎be ‎removed ‎from ‎our ‎operative ‎systems.‎

Additional ‎Rights ‎under ‎the ‎CCPA

In ‎addition ‎to ‎the ‎information ‎disclosed ‎above, ‎you ‎are ‎entitled ‎to ‎instruct ‎Cleverbridge ‎not ‎to ‎sell ‎your ‎data, ‎as ‎defined ‎in ‎the ‎CCPA.‎ ‎To ‎do ‎so, ‎you ‎may ‎submit ‎your ‎request ‎here.‎ ‎Cleverbridge ‎will ‎not ‎discriminate ‎against ‎you ‎for ‎exercising ‎any ‎of ‎your ‎valid ‎rights ‎under ‎the ‎CCPA.‎

Changes ‎in ‎this ‎Privacy ‎Policy ‎and ‎Previous ‎Versions

This ‎Privacy ‎Policy ‎is ‎a ‎living ‎document ‎and ‎is ‎subject ‎to ‎occasional ‎amendment.‎ ‎We ‎may ‎update ‎this ‎Privacy ‎Policy ‎to ‎reflect ‎changes ‎to ‎our ‎information ‎practices.‎ ‎We ‎encourage ‎you ‎to ‎periodically ‎review ‎this ‎page ‎for ‎the ‎latest ‎information ‎on ‎our ‎privacy ‎practices.‎
