Privacy Shield
This Privacy Shield Policy (“Policy”) describes how True Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates in the United States (“US”) (“True”, “Company,” “we,” or “us”) collect, use, and disclose certain personally identifiable information that we receive in the US from the European Economic Area (“EEA Personal Data”). This Policy supplements our Website Privacy Policy, and unless specifically defined in this Policy, the terms in this Policy have the same meaning as the Website Privacy Policy.
True recognizes that the EEA has established strict protections regarding the handling of EEA Personal Data, including requirements to provide adequate protection for EEA Personal Data transferred outside of the EEA. To provide adequate protection for certain EEA Personal Data about consumers, corporate customers, suppliers, business partners, job applicants, and employees received in the US, True has elected to self-certify to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework administered by the US Department of Commerce (“Privacy Shield”). True adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability.
For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Privacy Shield, True is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the US Federal Trade Commission. For more information about the Privacy Shield, see the US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website located at: https://www.privacyshield.gov. To review True’s representation on the Privacy Shield list, see the US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield self-certification list.

True will only process EEA Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purpose that True collected it for, or for purposes the individual later authorizes. Before we use your EEA Personal Data 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. True maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that EEA Personal Data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
We may collect the following categories of sensitive EEA Personal Data for candidates and employees: health information, criminal convictions and offenses, and religious beliefs. We process sensitive EEA Personal Data for the following purposes: fulfill employment obligations and to comply with applicable employment laws. When we collect sensitive EEA Personal Data, we will obtain your opt-in consent where the Privacy Shield requires, including if we disclose your sensitive EEA Personal Data to third parties, or before we use your sensitive EEA Personal Data for a different purpose than we collected it for or than you later authorized.
Data Transfers to Third Parties
Third-Party Agents or Service Providers. We may transfer EEA Personal Data to our third-party agents or service providers who perform functions on our behalf, including travel bookings, expense reporting, website hosting, accounting purposes, direct marketing, product servicing, order processing and delivery, payroll processing and benefits administrators. Where required by the Privacy Shield, we enter into written agreements with those third-party agents and service providers 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 third-party agents and service providers process EEA Personal Data 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 third-party agents or service providers who perform services on our behalf for their handling of EEA Personal Data that we transfer to them.
Disclosures for National Security or Law Enforcement. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your EEA Personal Data in response to valid requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Security

Access Rights
You may have the right to access the EEA Personal Data that we hold about you and to request that we correct, amend, or delete it if it is inaccurate or processed in violation of the Privacy Shield. These access 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. If you would like to request access to, correction, amendment, or deletion of your EEA Personal Data, you can submit a written request to the contact information provided below. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity. In some circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information.
