10. Forums and Chat Rooms
If you participate in a discussion forum, local communities, or chat room on a Adieona website, you should be aware that the information you provide there (i.e., your public profile and comments) will be made broadly available to others, and could be used to contact you, send you unsolicited messages, or for purposes neither Adieona nor you have control over.

Adieona is not responsible for the personal information or any other information you choose to submit in these forums. In some cases, we may not be able to remove all your personal information and comments. In such cases, we will provide you with a response and explanation.

11. Children’s Privacy
Adieona encourages parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities.

12. International Transfer, Processing and Storage of Personal Information
As Adieona is a global organization, we may transfer your personal information to Adieona in the United States of America, to any Adieona subsidiary worldwide, or to third parties and business partners as described above that are in various countries around the world, or vice versa. By using our websites and Solutions or providing any personal information to us, where applicable law permits, you acknowledge and accept the transfer, processing, and storage of such information outside of your country of residence where data protection standards may be different.
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;
iii. not be discriminated against for exercising one of their California privacy rights.
All individuals have the right to request access to and deletion of the information Adieona holds about them either online or by sending an email to: legal@adieona.com

Adieona does not sell the personal information of California consumers.
Adieona does not discriminate against individuals for exercising their privacy rights.

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.
