Adieona safeguards and enables the global transfer of personal information in several ways: Adieona-US is responsible for the processing of personal information it receives and may transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Adieona-US complies with its Privacy Protection Principles for all onward transfers of personal information from the EU, the UK, and Switzerland (for examples of such transfers, see Sharing Your Personal Information above) including the onward transfer liability provisions. In certain situations, Adieona-US may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Adieona-US is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the US Federal Trade Commission.
13. Automated Decision Making
Our processing of personal information includes both automated and manual methods of processing. Our automated methods are often used to assist our manual methods. When automated methods are used to assist in decision-making, we may manually review some of the insights produced by the automated methods against the underlying data from which the insights were made. This manual review may be conducted by Adieona employees or trusted third party business partners who are working on Adieona’s behalf.
In the event, that decisions are made solely based on automated methods of processing and produce legal effect or significantly affect an individual, we will provide the impacted individual the opportunity to question the decision or request manual review.
14. Complaint Resolution
Adieona-US commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information transferred to the United States. European Union, United Kingdom, and Swiss individuals with Privacy Shield inquiries or complaints should first contact Adieona-US by sending an email to: legal@adieona.com.
15. Your California Privacy Rights
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
For business purposes in the last twelve months, Adieona may have collected, used, and shared personal information about you as described in this privacy statement. Each category of data that may be used by Adieona or shared with third parties is categorically outlined in this Privacy Statement.
California consumers have a right to:
i. request access, correction, and deletion of their personal information;
ii. opt out of the sale of their personal information;

California Shine the Light
Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
Adieona has a comprehensive Privacy Statement, and provides you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain nor disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
