Security Measures
HPV Alliance takes appropriate precautions to protect our site visitors’ information. Our websites use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal or sensitive information is required. This encryption allows your data to be safely transmitted over the Internet without being intercepted, read, altered or deleted by a malicious third party. The encrypted data goes to a physically secure location where your information is stored on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk.
Transferring Personal Data From the EU to the US
HPV Alliance has its headquarters in the United States, and information we collect from you will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union. HPV Alliance collects and transfers data to the United States only with your consent, to perform a contract with you, or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of HPV Alliance in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. HPV Alliance endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with HPV Alliance and the practices described in this privacy policy.
Do Not Track
HPV Alliance does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms.
Retention of Your Information
Information you provide to HPV Alliance will be retained for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was obtained, or for a period specifically required by law or regulation. Your information will be disposed of in a manner that seeks to prevent loss, theft, misuse or unauthorized access.
Children Under 13
HPV Alliance does not specifically collect information about children. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete the information as quickly as possible.
For EU Data Subjects
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and other countries’ privacy laws provide certain rights for data subjects. Because HPV Alliance is not established in the European Union, these rights only apply in relation to HPV Alliance offering goods or services to data subjects in the European Union, or in relation to HPV Alliance monitoring behavior in the European Union. Among these rights is the right to know the purpose of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; who else outside of HPV Alliance might have received the data from us; what the source of the information was (if you did not provide it directly to us); and how long the data will be stored. Additionally, you have the right to access and rectify your personal data if it is inaccurate. You may, under certain circumstances, also request that we cease using your data for direct marketing purposes, or that we erase your data. You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process your personal data. We will, at your request, provide personal data that you have provided to HPV Alliance to you or transmit it directly to another controller if technically feasible.
