PRIVACY SHIELD

GereMarie, which includes its respective successors, subsidiaries, divisions and groups, complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union to the United States. GereMarie has certified to the Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.

GereMarie is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, and under Privacy Shield we may subsequently transfer that data to a third party acting as an agent on our behalf. GereMarie complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, GereMarie is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In certain situations, GereMarie may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
