To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/., and to view our certification by searching for "Arcustech, LLC".

We commit to periodically review and verify the accuracy of our policies and our compliance with the DPF. If there is any conflict between the DPF and our policies (including this Framework Statement), the principles of the DPF shall govern where applicable.

SCOPE:

We adhere to the principles of the DPF with respect to personal data provided by: (i) visitors to our website, and (ii) users of our services (i.e., subscribers to any of our plans). Since we are generally just a conduit for information controlled by others, it’s our customers and their users who control the content transmitted across our network (e.g. images, written content, graphics etc.). To the extent that we merely transmit, route, or switch information on behalf of our customers, we may instead rely upon such customer to comply with underlying legal requirements with respect to such processing, as permitted under the DPF.

DATA PROCESSED:

We provide web hosting services that our customers use to deliver their websites to their web site visitors. These services include features such as managed virtual private servers, SSL certificates and server backup services. In providing these features, we may gather certain information regarding use of our sites and our customers’ websites, and process data submitted by our customers or which our servers are instructed to process on their behalf. While it’s not up to us which data we receive or process, it typically includes items such as contact information, IP addresses, and web server access logs.

PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING:

We process data submitted by our customers for the purpose of providing and developing our online web hosting services. To fulfill this purpose, we may process personal data submitted to us by our customers to provide such services, to address technical and security issues, to prevent fraud, to improve these services, to follow our customers’ instructions, or in response to contractual or legal requirements.

EU/UK/SWISS EMPLOYEE DATA:

We DO NOT process human resources data from EU, UK or Swiss citizens, at a future date when we have a need for processing HR data from the EU, UK or Switzerland we will update our statement to reflect that change here.

INQUIRIES AND COMPLAINTS:

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, Arcustech, LLC commits to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of your personal information. EU and UK individuals and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF should first contact Arcustech, LLC at:

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, Arcustech LLC commits to refer unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider based in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your DPF Principles-related complaint to your satisfaction, please visit https://www.jamsadr.com/dpf-dispute-resolution for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

For complaints regarding DPF compliance not resolved by any of the other DPF mechanisms, you have the possibility, under certain conditions, to invoke binding arbitration. Further information can be found in Annex 1 of the DPF Principles.

THIRD PARTIES WHO MAY RECEIVE PERSONAL DATA:

We may use a limited number of third party service providers to assist us in providing services to our customers or to meet internal business needs. These providers may provide services such as billing systems, contract and account management, customer support, relationship management and other technical operations. These third parties may access, process, or store personal data in the course of providing their services. We maintain contracts with these third parties to restrict their access, use, and disclosure of personal data in compliance with our DPF obligations, and we may be liable for such parties if they fail to meet these obligations.

RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND LIMIT USE OF DATA:

Individuals located in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, if applicable, have rights to access personal data about them, and to limit the use and disclosure of such data. We take our privacy obligations extremely seriously, and have committed to respect these rights. Because our personnel have limited ability to access data submitted to us by our customers, if you wish to request access to, or to limit use or disclosure of data, please provide the name of the party who submitted your data to our services, and state whether it was yourself or a third party. We will refer your request to that third party, if appropriate, and reasonably support them in responding to your request.

ENFORCEMENT AND REQUIRED DISCLOSURE:

Our commitments under the DPF are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. We may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. Under such circumstances, we may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of disclosure.
