EU/Swiss Privacy Shield Notice
FareHarbor builds and/or hosts websites on behalf of clients. FareHarbor may receive personal information from its clients when providing reservations, operations, and logistics, and fulfilling service contracts. If you are visiting our site or using our services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. Any such transfers will comply with safeguards as required by applicable law. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the terms of this privacy statement and Privacy Shield notice supplement and, if in conflict, override our Privacy Policy.
PRIVACY SHIELD POLICY
FareHarbor complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from European Union and Switzerland to the United States, respectively. FareHarbor has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Privacy Shield, we are subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
This Privacy Shield Policy (this “Policy”) applies to personal information transferred to FareHarbor in the United States from organizations subject to data protection law in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) (which includes the member states of the European Union (“EU”) plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and from Switzerland. This Policy sets out our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing that personal information. Please see our Privacy Policy for an explanation of how we collect, use, store, and disclose information about visitors to and subscribers of our websites.
Definitions
For purposes of this Policy, the following definitions shall apply:
“Agent” means any third party that collects or uses personal information under the instructions of, and solely for, FareHarbor or to which FareHarbor discloses personal information for use on FareHarbor’s behalf.
“Personal information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal information does not include information that is anonymized or aggregated.
“Sensitive information” means any personal information that reveals race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, information that concerns health or sex life, and information about criminal or administrative proceedings and sanctions.
Choice
Before we use your personal information for a purpose that is materially different than the purpose we collected it for or that you later authorized, we will provide you with the opportunity to opt out. An individual may opt-out of such uses of their personal data by contacting us at the address given below. We will not use sensitive personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual unless we have received the individual’s affirmative and explicit consent (opt-in). To contact us, please email privacy@fareharbor.com .
Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
FareHarbor will use personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. We maintain reasonable procedures to help ensure that personal information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Transfers to Agents
We may transfer personal information to our Agents as described in our Privacy Policy. Where required by the Privacy Shield or applicable law, we enter into written agreements with those Agents requiring them to provide the same level of protection the Privacy Shield requires and limiting their use of the data to the specified services provided on our behalf. We take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that Agents process personal information we provide in accordance with our Privacy Shield obligations and to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing. Under certain circumstances, we may remain liable for the acts of our Agents who perform services on our behalf for their handling of personal information that we transfer to them, unless FareHarbor proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damages. FareHarbor does not transfer personal information to non-Agent third parties.
Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal information in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Security
We maintain reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction in accordance with the Privacy Shield and applicable law.
Individual Rights
If you would like to request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your personal information, you can submit a written request to the contact address provided below. These rights may not apply in some cases, including where providing access is unreasonably burdensome or expensive under the circumstances or where it would violate the rights of someone other than the individual requesting access. Please note: In order to verify your identity, we may require you to provide us with personal information prior to accessing any records containing information about you. In some circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.
Enforcement
FareHarbor will conduct compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this Policy. Any employee that FareHarbor determines is in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
Dispute Resolution
You can direct any questions or complaints about the use or disclosure of your personal information to us at privacy@fareharbor.com. We will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints or disputes regarding the use or disclosure of your personal information within 45 days of receiving your complaint.

If you are unsatisfied with our resolution of your complaint, you may contact http://www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/for-eu-consumers for further information and to file a complaint.
Binding Arbitration

For more information on binding arbitration, see US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield Framework: Annex I.
