To the extent required by the Privacy Shield Principles, Electra obtains opt-in consent for certain uses and disclosures of Sensitive Data.

Unless Electra offers Consumers an appropriate choice, Electra uses Personal Data only for purposes that are materially the same as those indicated in this Privacy Shield section.Electra shares Consumer Personal Data with its affiliates and subsidiaries.

Accountability for Onward Transfer of Personal Data
This Privacy Shield section and the Electra's Privacy Policy describe Electra's sharing of Consumer Personal Data.
Except as permitted or required by applicable law, Electra provides Consumers with an opportunity to opt out of sharing their Personal Data with third-party Controllers. Electra requires third-party Controllers to whom it discloses Consumer Personal Data to contractually agree to (i) only process the Personal Data for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the relevant Consumer, (ii) provide the same level of protection for Personal Data as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles, and (iii) notify Electra and cease processing Personal Data (or take other reasonable and appropriate remedial steps) if the third-party Controller determines that it cannot meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection for Personal Data as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles.
With respect to transfers of Consumer Personal Data to third-party Processors, Electra (i) enters into a contract with each relevant Processor, (ii) transfers Personal Data to each such Processor only for limited and specified purposes, (iii) ascertains that the Processor is obligated to provide the Personal Data with at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles, (iv) takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the Processor effectively processes the Personal Data in a manner consistent with Electra's obligations under the Privacy Shield Principles, (v) requires the Processor to notify Electra if the Processor determines that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles, (vi) upon notice, including under (v) above, takes reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing of the Personal Data by the Processor, and (vii) provides a summary or representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of the Processor contract to the Department of Commerce, upon request. Electra remains liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if Electra's third-party Processor onward transfer recipients process relevant Personal Data in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless Electra proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Security
Electra takes reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Consumer Personal Data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Data.Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
Electra limits the Consumer Personal Data it processes to that which is relevant for the purposes of the particular processing. Electra does not process Consumer Personal Data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant Consumer. In addition, to the extent necessary for these purposes, Electra takes reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data Electra processes is (i) reliable for its intended use, and (ii) accurate, complete and current. In this regard, Electra relies on its Consumers to update and correct the relevant Personal Data to the extent necessary for the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized. Consumers may contact Electra as indicated below to request that Electra update or correct relevant Personal Data.Subject to applicable law, Electra retains Consumer Personal Data in a form that identifies or renders identifiable the relevant Consumer only for as long as it serves a purpose that is compatible with the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected or subsequently authorized by the Consumer.
Access
Consumers generally have the right to access their Personal Data. Accordingly, where appropriate, Electra provides Consumers with reasonable access to the Personal Data Electra maintains about them. Electra also provides a reasonable opportunity for those Consumers to correct, amend or delete the information where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles, as appropriate. Electra may limit or deny access to Personal Data where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Consumer's privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the Consumer would be violated. Consumers may request access to their Personal Data by contacting Electra as indicated below.Recourse, Enforcement and Liability
Electra has mechanisms in place designed to help assure compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles. Electra conducts an annual self-assessment of its Consumer Personal Data practices to verify that the attestations and assertions Electra makes about its Privacy Shield privacy practices are true and that Electra's privacy practices have been implemented as represented and in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles.Consumers may file a complaint concerning Electra's processing of their Personal Data. Electra will take steps to remedy issues arising out of its alleged failure to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles. Consumers may contact Electra as specified below about complaints regarding Electra's Consumer Personal Data practices.
If a Consumer's complaint cannot be resolved through Electra's internal processes, Electra will cooperate with JAMS pursuant to the JAMS International Mediation Rules, available on the JAMS website. JAMS mediation may be commenced as provided for in the relevant JAMS rules. The mediator may propose any appropriate remedy, such as deletion of the relevant Personal Data, publicity for findings of noncompliance, payment of compensation for losses incurred as a result of noncompliance, or cessation of processing of the Personal Data of the Consumer who brought the complaint. The mediator or the Consumer also may refer the matter to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which has Privacy Shield investigatory and enforcement powers over Electra. Under certain circumstances, Consumers also may be able to invoke binding arbitration to address complaints about Electra's compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles.
