Widen has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint, or if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, please visit www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/for-eu-consumers/ for more information and to file a complaint.

Widen is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Widen may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Widen’s accountability for personal data that it receives under the privacy shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the privacy shield principles. In particular, Widen remains responsible and liable under the privacy shield principles if third-party agents that it engages to process the personal data on its behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the principles, unless Widen Enterprises, Inc. proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
To ensure that our customers may continue to validate transfers of personal data from Europe to the U.S. under EU data protection laws, this data processing addendum incorporates the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses commonly known as “model clauses.” Please note that the model clauses will apply to the extent there is not another legal basis in place to validate the transfer of personal data from the EU to the U.S.
The model clauses are contract templates developed by the European Commission as one mechanism for contracting parties to legalize the cross-border transfer of personal data from Europe. Widen’s new data processing addendum automatically incorporates the model clauses as long as transfers of personal data are not legalized by an alternative compliance standard recognized by the European Commission.
Customers should promptly complete, sign and return Widen’s data processing addendum to privacy@widen.com.
Questions and complaints about this privacy policy should be directed to Privacy Policy Associate at privacy@widen.com.
