9) How Your Information Is Stored or Transferred/Statement on GDPR

InReach Solutions, LLC is headquartered in the United States, and has no operations, entities or service providers in other jurisdictions. InReach Solutions acts only as a processor of Personal Information, and does not directly collect, transfer, or control the Personal Information of European Economic Area (“EEA”) citizens. While InReach Solutions may store the Personal Information of EEA citizens, such data is received by InReach Solutions only after it has been transferred from the EEA by a Client organization in the EEA to a Client affiliate in the United States. Therefore, any such collection, transfer, or control, were it to occur, would be subject to the privacy policy of the collecting and transferring Client that acts as a controller as that term is defined in the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). While InReach Solutions is therefore not subject to GDPR, we do respect the privacy rights of citizens in all jurisdictions, and make all commercially reasonable efforts to protect the Personal Information that we process in performing the Services.

We will take steps to try to resolve any complaint you raise regarding our treatment of your Personal Information.  You also have the right to raise a complaint with the privacy regulator in your jurisdiction.

11) Security

The security of your Personal Information is very important to us. We employ security measures to protect your information both online and offline from access by unauthorized persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. Unfortunately, the Internet is not and will likely never be completely secure, and you acknowledge that we cannot guarantee the complete security of the information you provide us.

12) Retention

We will retain your Personal Information as long as necessary for purposes for which the personal data was collected by us, as explained in this Policy or as required to comply with legal obligations or resolve claims and disputes. In general, we will retain relevant Personal Information of clients and Site visitors for at least three years from the date of our last interaction with you and in compliance with our obligations under applicable laws. Our clients instruct us on how long to retain Client Data, which we handle as a data processor. We may retain personal data for longer periods where required by our regulatory obligations, professional indemnity obligations, or where we believe necessary to establish, defend, or protect our legal rights and interests or those of others.

13) Children

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of sixteen (16) or knowingly allow such persons to register. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under the relevant age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
