Durian Consultants LLC does not transfer personal information to any third parties. Therefore, the provision regarding liability for the actions of agent processors may not apply. If we change this policy in the future, Durian Consultants LLC shall remain liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless the organization proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Individuals may contact us to correct, amend or delete such personal information if it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Principles (except when the burden or expense of providing access, correction, amendment, or deletion would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated). Requests for access, correction, amendment or deletion should be sent to: [email protected].

You may have the option to select binding arbitration under the Privacy Shield Panel for the resolution of your complaint under certain circumstances.  For further information, please see the Privacy Shield website.
