Scope and Use of Information Collected

Information we collect from ABV Members or ABV Facilitators is used solely for the purposes of providing services to ABV Members and ABV Facilitators. We may engage third party vendors for certain business-related activities and provide such third party vendors with relevant information. Any such third party vendors must abide by the terms of our Vendor Confidentiality Agreement, including, without limitation, a prohibition on the (i) dissemination, (ii) sale, or (iii) use for any non-ABV-related purpose of information provided. We disclaim any liability for the misuse of information by any third party vendor, but we will cooperate with you in connection with any proceeding you may elect to institute against such vendor for misuse of information. We are potentially liable for onward transfers to third parties of personal data received pursuant to Privacy Shield.

We will provide a summary of any information collected from you, or update or delete such information, upon request submitted to us at the address listed under “Dispute Resolution” within five (5) business days of the submission of such request unless such information is subject to retention pursuant to Article 21(2) of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Except for the purposes described above, we do not disclose information collected from ABV Members or ABV Facilitators to any third party. We do not sell any information we collect to any third-party, including telephone numbers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may disclose any such information in response to a lawful request from governmental authorities or law enforcement agencies.

Liability for Onward Transfers to Third Parties

We require that third party vendors abide by the terms of our Vendor Confidentiality Agreement, including, without limitation, a prohibition on the (i) dissemination, (ii) sale, or (iii) use for any non-ABV-related purpose of information provided. We disclaim any liability for the misuse of information by any third party vendor that fails to abide by the terms of our Vendor Confidentiality Agreement, but we will cooperate with you in connection with any proceeding you may elect to institute against such vendor for misuse of information.
