  • When do we transfer information across borders?

    Conga is a U.S.-based, global company. Conga affiliates, subsidiaries and their Websites and Services are available around the globe. This means Personal Information may be processed in the country where it was collected, as well as in other countries (including the United States) where laws regarding processing of Personal Information may be less stringent. In such cases, we have put in place organizational and legal measures to ensure that data transfers are lawfully conducted. Such measures include: 

    • Standard Contractual Clauses
      •  Data Processing Addenda or Agreements, incorporating the Standard Contractual Clauses, as approved by the European Commission and incorporating stringent requirements of Article 28 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679. Please find Conga’s DPA at the following link for your execution, if necessary: https://conga.com/legal.  
      • The Standard Contractual Clauses apply only to the Personal Data that is transferred from the EEA and/or Switzerland and the United Kingdom to outside the EEA and Switzerland or the United Kingdom, either directly or via onward transfer, to any country or recipient: (i) not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data (as described in the EU Data Protection Directive or its successors), and (ii) not covered by a suitable framework (e.g. Binding Corporate Rules for Processors, EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield, etc.) recognized by the relevant authorities or courts as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data. In the event the United Kingdom is no longer considered or effectively part of the EU or EEA then such transfers of Personal Data to and from the United Kingdom will be treated as a non-EU or EEA country and the Standard Contractual Clauses apply accordingly. 
      • The Standard Contractual Clauses apply to (i) the legal entity that has executed the Standard Contractual Clauses as a Data Exporter and, (ii) all Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) of Customer established within the EEA and Switzerland or the United Kingdom that have licensed the Service. For the purpose of the Standard Contractual Clauses the aforementioned entities shall be deemed “Data Exporters”. 
    • Privacy Shield Frameworks 
      • If the Services provided by Conga to you are within the scope of Privacy Shield, Conga complies with the EU-U.S. and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of Personal Information transferred from the European Union and the United Kingdom and/or Switzerland to the United States in reliance on Privacy Shield. Conga has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles (non-U.S. entities are not covered by Conga’s Privacy Shield certification).

      • Conga is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under the Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers to a third-party acting as an agent on its behalf. Conga complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU or Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions. With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, Conga is subject to the investigatory and regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In certain situations, Conga may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. 
      • In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, Conga commits to resolve complaints about our collection or use of your Personal Information.

Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.
