Onna has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Privacy Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity and purpose limitation, access, recourse, enforcement and liability.

    Prior to re-certification, Onna will conduct an in-house verification to reasonably ensure that its attestations and assertions about its treatment of Individual End User Personal Data are accurate and that the company has appropriately implemented these practices. Specifically, as part of the verification process, Onna will undertake the following:

    1. Review this Policy and its publicly posted Privacy Policy on its website to ensure that these policies accurately describe the practices regarding the collection of Individual End User Personal Data.
    2. Ensure that the publicly posted Privacy Policy informs Individual End Users of Onna’s participation in the EU-US Privacy Shield and Swiss-US Privacy Shield programs and where to obtain a copy of additional information (e.g., a copy of this Policy).
    3. Ensure that this Policy continues to comply with the Privacy Shield principles.
    4. Confirm that Individual End Users are made aware of the process for addressing complaints and any independent dispute resolution process (Onna may do so through its publicly posted website, through Customer agreements, or both).
    5. Review its processes and procedures for training Workforce Members about Onna’s participation in the Privacy Shield programs and the appropriate handling of Personal Data.
    6. Onna will prepare internal verification statements as appropriate.
