Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework:
Cardinal LCA complies with the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S.
Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information
transferred from Switzerland to the United States. Although Privacy Shield is no longer
considered a valid transfer mechanism for the purposes of Swiss data protection law, in light of
the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18 and opinion of the
Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner of Switzerland dated 8 September 2020,
Cardinal LCA will continue to comply with the principles of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield
Framework. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please
visit
www.privacyshield.gov
.
Cardinal LCA adheres to and complies with the Privacy Shield Principles when processing personal
information from Switzerland. If we have received your personal information in the United States
and subsequently transfer that information to a third party acting as our agent, and such third
party agent processes your personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield
Principles, we will remain liable unless we can prove we are not responsible for the event
giving rise to the damage.
With respect to personal information received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield
Framework, Cardinal LCA is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"). In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal
information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national
security or law enforcement requirements.
If you have any questions or concerns relating to Cardinal LCA's Privacy Shield certification,
please write to us at the contact details below. We commit to resolving any complaints or
disputes about our collection and use of your personal information under the Privacy Shield.
However, if you have an unresolved complaint in connection with our certification,
In limited situations, Swiss individuals may seek redress from the Privacy Shield Panel, a
binding arbitration mechanism.
Please be sure to review the following sections of this Privacy Notice for additional details
relevant to Cardinal LCA’s participation in the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield:
In Short:
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this
privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set
out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law
(such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us
keeping your personal information for longer than 90 days.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will
either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because
your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In Short:
We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical
security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to
protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information
storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that
hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our
security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do
our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from
our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.
In Short:
In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom (UK), you have
rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may
review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
In some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have certain rights under applicable data protection
laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal
information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your
personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you
may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a
request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any
request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to
withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness
of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal
information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

information, we will respect your request and delete your personal information, subject to

Verification process
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same
person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us
to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously
provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to
provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the
information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g.
phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification
methods as the circumstances dictate.
We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or
authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional
information from you for the purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your
identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide
additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or
fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we
finish verifying you.
