Privacy Notice to European Users

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) data privacy law. It applies to businesses that collect, use, store, disclose, or combine (“process”) personal data in the EU and to non-EU businesses that process the personal data of people located in the EU. GDPR requires the provision of this notice because Telos may process your personal data when you purchase or use our products or services.

This Website and the services on this site are targeted for users in the United States of America. Any information you enter on this Site may be transferred outside of the European Union to the United States of America, which does not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union.

You are advised that the United States of America uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country’s level of protection. By using this Website or the services, you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States of America, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information by Telos on its servers located in the United States of America as described in this Privacy Policy.

Telos collects the categories of your personal data explained in the above sections. Telos, as applicable, processes your personal data when we have your consent to do so; when the processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests; and when the processing is required by law.

Consent

In some cases, we may ask you for your consent to collect and process your Personal Data. If you choose to provide consent, you may later withdraw you consent (opt-out) by contacting us as described below. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, it will not affect any processing of your Personal Data that has already occurred.

Consent Compliance with applicable laws or performance of a contract

In specific circumstances, we may need to process your Personal Data to comply with a relevant law/regulation or to fulfill our obligations under a contract to which you are subject. Where we process your Personal Data to meet our legal obligations, you will likely not be permitted to object to this processing activity, but you will usually have the right to access or review this information unless it would impede our legal obligations. Where we are processing Personal Data to fulfill our contract obligations under a contract where you are a party, you might not be able to object to this processing, or if you do choose to opt-out or object our processing, it may impact our ability to perform a contractual obligation owed to you.

Legitimate Business Interest

GDPR also allows us to process your personal data if we have a legitimate interest in communicating with you and managing our interactions with you regarding our products and services, research, and education opportunities. In addition to the other rights you may have described below, you have the right to object to such processing of your Personal Data. You can register your objection by contacting us as described below.

To Whom and When Will We Disclose or Share Your Personal Data

Telos will share or disclose your Personal Data with the following entities:

How We Transfer Your Personal Data

We may transmit your Personal Data to our Telos affiliates. Telos affiliates names and contact details can be found at https://Telos.com. Additionally, these affiliates may further transmit your Personal Data to our other global affiliates. Some of our affiliates and their databases locations may be in countries that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection like the laws in the country in which you reside. Regardless, all our affiliates are required to treat your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our privacy and data protection policies and procedures.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

Telos uses industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Data against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, modification, disclosure, and destruction. We restrict access to your Personal Data to only those employees and third parties acting on our behalf who have a legitimate business need for such access. We will only transfer your Personal Data to third parties acting on our behalf in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and procedures.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Data

Your Personal Data will be maintained for the duration of your relationship with us. We will store and retain the Personal Data we collect about you in accordance with our Corporate Record Retention Policy, after which it will be archived or deleted. Please note that certain information could be retained for longer period if we have continuing obligations to you or if required by local law.

What Are Your Rights

You have a right to see and obtain a copy of your Personal Data, including an electronic copy, that we have, as well as a right to ask us to make any corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we have about you.

You can also request that we erase your Personal Data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which you provided it, restrict how we process your Personal Data to certain limited purposes where erasure is not possible, or object to our processing of your Personal Data to a particular third party based on your preferences.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set for the below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if you believe that your rights have been violated.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provide consumers (California Residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights. Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us at 1-855-TELOS (935-5759) or by sending a message to regulatory.compliance@Telos.com. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Describe your request with enough detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

An amendment to the CCPA provides an exemption to the Right to Know and Right to Delete for personal information between a business and a person who is acting as an employee, director, officer, or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit, or government where the information is used in the context of a business transaction. This exemption is currently set to expire on January 1, 2021. Until that date, we will not respond to requests to know or delete that meet this exemption.

Response Timing and Format

We strive to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically by electronic mail communication.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting our Website and sending us a message.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back into personal information sales at any time by visiting our Website and sending us a message. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Telos will not sell, distribute, or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law. If Telos changes this practice in the future, we will update our privacy policy and provide an opt-out link pursuant to CCPA. Telos treats any information collected prior to such a change as though you have opted-out of the sale of your personal information.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send us an electronic message through our Website or write us at our address listed on our webpage.

Change to Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on the Website and update the notice’s effective date. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
