Blueprints for Recovery strives to collect, use and disclose Personal information in a manner consistent with the laws of the countries in which it does business, and has a tradition of upholding the highest ethical standards in its business practices. Blueprints for Recovery abides by the Safe Harbor Principles developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) issued by the Department of Commerce on July 21, 2000.

I. SAFE HARBOR The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (the “Safe Harbor Principles”) to enable US companies to satisfy the requirement under European Union law that adequate protection be given to Personal information transferred from the EU to the United States.

III. DEFINITIONS For purposes of this Policy, the following definitions shall apply: “Agent” means any third party that uses Personal information provided by Blueprints for Recovery to perform tasks on behalf of or at the instruction of Blueprints for Recovery. “Blueprints for Recovery” means Blueprints for Recovery, its predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, divisions and groups. “Personal information” means any information or set of information that identifies or could be used by or on behalf of Blueprints for Recovery to identify an individual. Personal information does not include information that is encoded or anonymized, or publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public Personal information.

In addition, Blueprints for Recovery will treat as sensitive Personal information any information received from a third party where that third party treats and identifies the information as sensitive.
IV. PRIVACY PRINCIPLES The privacy principles in this Policy are based on the seven Safe Harbor Principles. (1) NOTICE: Where Blueprints for Recovery collects Personal information directly from individuals, it will inform them about the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal information about them, the types of non-agent third parties to which Blueprints for Recovery discloses that information, and the choices and means, if any, Blueprints for Recovery offers individuals for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when individuals are first asked to provide Personal information to Blueprints for Recovery, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event before Blueprints for Recovery uses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected. Blueprints for Recovery may disclose Personal information if required to do so by law or to protect and defend the rights or property of Blueprints for Recovery. (2) CHOICE: Blueprints for Recovery will offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their Personal information is (a) to be disclosed to a non-agent third party, or (b) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. For sensitive Personal information, Blueprints for Recovery will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly (opt-in) consent to the disclosure of the information to a non-agent third party or the use of the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Blueprints for Recovery will provide individuals with reasonable mechanisms to exercise their choices should requisite circumstances arise. (3) DATA INTEGRITY: Blueprints for Recovery will use Personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Blueprints for Recovery will take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal information is relevant to its intended use, accurate, complete and current. (4) TRANSFERS TO AGENTS: Blueprints for Recovery will obtain assurances from its Agents that they will safeguard Personal information consistently with this Policy. Examples of appropriate assurances that may be provided by Agents include: a contract obligating the Agent to provide at least the same level of protection as is required by the relevant Safe Harbor Principles, being subject to EU Directive 95/46/EC (the EU Data Protection Directive), Safe Harbor certification by the Agent, or being subject to another European Commission adequacy finding (e.g., companies located in Switzerland). Where Blueprints for Recovery has knowledge that an Agent is using or disclosing Personal information in a manner contrary to this Policy, Blueprints for Recovery will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure. Blueprints for Recovery holds it Agents accountable for maintaining the trust our employees and customers place in the company. (5) ACCESS AND CORRECTION: Upon request, Blueprints for Recovery will grant individuals reasonable access to Personal information that it holds about them. In addition, Blueprints for Recovery will take reasonable steps to permit individuals to correct, amend or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete. Any employees that desire to review or update their Personal information can do so by contacting their local Human Resources Representative. (6) SECURITY: Blueprints for Recovery will take reasonable precautions to protect Personal information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Blueprints for Recovery protects data in many ways. Physical security is designed to prevent unauthorized access to database equipment and hard copies of sensitive Personal information. Electronic security measures continuously monitor access to our servers and provide protection from hacking or other unauthorized access from remote locations. This protection includes the use of firewalls, restricted access and encryption technology. Blueprints for Recovery limits access to Personal information and data to those persons in Blueprints for Recovery’s organization, or as agents of Blueprints for Recovery, that have a specific business purpose for maintaining and processing such Personal information and data. Individuals who have been granted access to Personal information are aware of their responsibilities to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of that information and have been provided training and instruction on how to do so.
(7) ENFORCEMENT: Blueprints for Recovery will conduct compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify adherence to this Policy and the US Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Principles. Any employee that Blueprints for Recovery determines is in violation of this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
