SUMMARY
This summary provides an overview of Compensation Tool’s privacy policy and data collection practices for Customers and Visitors. The type of data Compensation Tool collects, stores and/or processes falls into two broad categories: information provided by Visitors (Visitor data) to access and use freely available services provided by the Compensation Tool, and information Compensation Tool’s Customers have provided (Customer Data) in connection with subscription-based services provided by the Compensation Tool. All Customers certify that they have the legal rights and authority to load Customer data into the Compensation Tool.
COMPENSATION TOOL PRIVACY SHIELD PRIVACY POLICY
Compensation Tool, LLC has created this Privacy Shield Privacy Policy to help you learn about how we comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and 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 that is collected from our customers located in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) and Switzerland and transferred to Compensation Tool in the U.S.
Compensation Tool has subscribed to the Privacy Shield program, which covers both the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, and, therefore, Compensation Tool has certified that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, both of which include Supplemental Principles (collectively, the “EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles”) for Personal Information covered by the Policy. More information about the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield, including the list of certified organizations, can be found at www.privacyshield.gov. This Policy applies to Compensation Tool. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Policy and the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles will govern.
Personal Information that is transferred to Compensation Tool from the EEA and Switzerland falls into two categories:
1) Personal Information regarding personnel from Compensation Tool’s visitors, such as name, email address, job title, company and telephone number; and
2) Personal Information from customers’ in connection with the subscription based services provided by the Compensation Tool, which may include information such as name, job title, and compensation related information. In the case of the latter category, Compensation Tool acts as a data processor and processes such information only under the instructions of its customers and with the legal basis for fulfilling a contractual obligation. This information is controlled by Compensation Tool’s customers in the EEA and Switzerland.
Because the requirements of the Privacy Shield program vary depending on whether Compensation Tool is acting as a processor on behalf of its customers or as a data controller, meaning that Compensation Tool makes independent decisions about how that information will be used, Compensation Tool’s policies and practices are described separately below.
COMPENSATION TOOL ACTING AS A DATA PROCESSOR ON BEHALF OF ITS CUSTOMERS
When Compensation Tool acts as a processor on behalf of its customers, the following policies apply to all data processing operations concerning Personal Information that has been transferred from the EEA and Switzerland to the United States.
Use of Personal Information
Compensation Tool will process the Personal Information only for the purposes requested by the customer.
Access and Correction
Compensation Tool will assist the controller (the customer) in responding to individuals exercising their rights under the Principles.
Exclusive Use and No Resale to Third Parties
Compensation Tool will not disclose or otherwise provide Personal data to third parties unless required by law or to protect Compensation Tool, investigate fraud, court order, or other legal process or where required by the customer.
Notice & Choice

COMPENSATION TOOL ACTING AS A DATA CONTROLLER
