B. Choice
We may obtain consent directly from individuals to Process their Personal Data in connection with the use of our Websites or through other interactions between Appgate and Representatives associated with Customers or other persons or entities and applicants for employment.

When acting as a Controller, we also offer individuals who are covered by this Privacy Framework Policy the opportunity to opt out if we provide notice that we intend to use his or her Personal Data for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or authorized by the individual in question. Individuals may opt out by sending an email to: unsubscribe@Appgate.com. If opting out, please provide, at a minimum, your name and identify your employer in order to assist us in verifying your identity, and please identify the uses or disclosures of Personal Data for which you are choosing to opt out.

D. Security
For Personal Data covered by this Privacy Framework Policy, we adhere to the Security Principle. We take reasonable and appropriate measures designed to protect 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. In cases where we are acting as a Processor, we secure Personal Data in accordance with our contractual obligations to the other party.
E. Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
In our role as Controller, Appgate adheres to the Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation Principle for Personal Data covered by this Privacy Framework Policy. Our collection and use of Personal Data is limited to the Personal Data that is relevant for the purposes of Processing, including, for example, those that, depending on the circumstances, reasonably serve Customer relations, the application process, compliance and legal considerations, auditing and due diligence, security and fraud prevention, preserving or defending Appgate’s legal rights, or other purposes consistent with the expectations of a reasonable person given the context of the collection. This may include Processing in the manner described in the Performing Due Diligence and Conducting Audits Supplemental Principle.
We will keep the Personal Data covered by this Privacy Framework Policy in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant agreement in cases where Appgate is acting as a Processor or agent. In cases where we are acting as a Controller, we may retain the Personal Data for the longer of any of the following: (i) the period during which an individual is actively using the Websites, serving as a Customer Representative, acting as a Representative of a Service Provider of Appgate or otherwise interacting with Appgate; (ii) the period specified in the unambiguous consent to the Processing of its data by us for specified purposes; or (iii) as long as necessary for us to meet any applicable legal requirements or to protect our legitimate interests, including with respect to actual or potential legal claims.
F. Access
In our role as a Controller, we adhere to the Access Principle and Access Supplemental Principle for Personal Data covered by this Privacy Framework Policy. Individuals may obtain access to Personal Data about them that we hold. For this purpose, “access” means that individuals have the right to: (i) obtain from Appgate confirmation of whether or not we are Processing Personal Data relating to them; (ii) have communicated to them Personal Data relating to them so that they can verify its accuracy and the lawfulness of the Processing; and (iii) have the Personal Data corrected, amended, or deleted where it is inaccurate or Processed in violation of the Principles. Individuals may request to access their Personal Data using the contact information listed in Section II.A.3 above.
We may limit or deny access as provided in the Principles, including where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated. If we determine that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide as appropriate to the individual requesting access an explanation of why Appgate has made a determination to restrict access and a contact point for any further inquiries. We are not required to provide access unless the request is supplied with sufficient information to allow us to confirm the identity of the person making the request. We will respond to all access requests within a reasonable time period, in a reasonable manner, and in a form that is readily intelligible to the individual.
In cases where Appgate is acting as a Processor, we will assist the other party in meeting its obligation to provide access, or we will obtain authorization from the other party prior to providing access or refer the requesting individual to the appropriate contact at the other party.
We may charge a fee for providing access where necessary or appropriate.

G. Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability

Unresolved complaints may be directed to the American Arbitration Association using the complaint submission form found here. Individuals are encouraged to raise any complaints they have with us before proceeding to the American Arbitration Association. The American Arbitration Association complaint recourse mechanism described here is available to individuals whose Personal Data has been collected or Processed by Appgate under the Principles.

Under certain conditions, specified on the Adequacy Framework website, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.
Appgate has implemented a self-assessment procedure to verify that the attestations and assertions that we have made about our Adequacy Framework privacy practices are true and that they have been implemented as presented and in accordance with the Principles. We are obligated to remedy problems arising out of any failure to comply with the Principles.
Please see Section II.A.3 of this Privacy Framework Policy for more information regarding our adherence to the Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability Principle and the Verification and Dispute Resolution and Enforcement Supplemental Principles.
