You are able to transfer Customer Data to and from your Account at any time, and we recommend that you do so prior to deleting your Account for any reason. To the extent that you maintain personal data of any Data Subject in your Account, you are solely responsible for according to the Data Subject any right of access, right of erasure, opportunity to correct, and any other applicable rights to which she or he may be entitled under the GDPR.
Please contact the Data Protection Officer by visiting https://knack.com/contact if you have any questions about your rights under the GDPR with respect to Knack’s processing of your personal data.
Data Transfers and LocationKnack complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework when processing or transferring personal data outside of the EU. The Framework is designed to ensure continuing levels of protection when personal data collected, used, and retained under the Framework (i.e., personal data collected from EU Data Subjects) is transferred to third parties. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Regional Privacy Policy Addendum and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov. Knack's participation in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework is subject to investigation and enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission. Knack has further committed to cooperate with EU data protection authorities with regard to unresolved Privacy Shield complaints.
Knack commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your personal information. EU individuals with questions or complaints regarding Knack’s compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework should contact: complaints@knack.com or visit https://knack.com/contact. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please contact the EU data protection authorities for more information or to file a complaint. The services of EU DPAs are provided at no cost to you. Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, you may also invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.
Account Information and Customer Data may be accessed by our support staff employees and agents who reside within the United States for debugging, troubleshooting, programming and other related administrative or technical activities required to provide the Knack Services. In the event that personal data covered by this Regional Privacy Policy Addendum would be transferred to a third party outside of the EU, including any processors or sub-processors, we would do so: (i) consistent with any notice required to be provided to you, any applicable consents, and/or the Regional Data Processing Addendum; (ii) if required or permitted by the GDPR or applicable law; or (iii) if the third party has provided contractual assurances that it will (a) process the personal data for limited and specified purposes consistent with any consent required by applicable law, (b) provide the same level of protection as is required by the Regional Data Processing Addendum, the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, and/or the GDPR and notify Knack if it makes a determination that it cannot do so; and (c) cease processing of the personal data or take other reasonable and appropriate steps to remediate if it makes such a determination.
We may, in connection with your use of our website, or in connection with the provision of the Knack Services, utilize one or more data processors or sub-processors, or share your personal data with another third party data controller. We will comply with the GDPR when transferring your personal data to any such third party. We will additionally comply with the terms of the Regional Data Protection Addendum when providing your personal data to any sub-processor.
Invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework:
Knack is aware of the Court Justice of the EU’s decision invalidating the Privacy Shield as a mechanism for authorizing data transfers to the US from the European Union. Knack currently maintains a dedicated data center for its EU customers within the EU and only allows limited “view-only access” by US staff for troubleshooting and technical support purposes. Although Knack participates in the Privacy Shield, Knack routinely executes Data Protection Addendums with its EU customers which incorporate the Standard Contractual Clauses. Knack remains committed to compliance with the Privacy Shield as required by the US Department of Commerce. In the event of a conflict, we will comply with the requirement that would be more protective of our customers. We will await further guidance from the European Data Protection Board and our applicable data protection authority regarding the use of the Standard Contractual Clauses moving forward.
