The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (“Safe Harbor Principles”) to enable U.S. companies to satisfy European Union law requirements for adequate protection of personal information transferred from the EU to the United States. The European Economic Area (EEA) also has recognized the U.S. Safe Harbor as providing adequate data protection. Consistent with its commitment to protect personal privacy, we adhere to the Safe Harbor Principles. Those Safe Harbor Principles are briefly described herein, and further detail can be found at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/eg_main_018236.asp.

C. Safe Harbor Principles
Notice and Choice
To the extent permitted by the Safe Harbor Principles, we reserve the right to process personal information in the course of providing expense management services contracted by your employer. Disclosures and Transfers Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not disclose an individual’s personal information to third parties, except when one or more of the following conditions is true:
(1) The disclosure is required by law or professional standards
(2) The disclosure is reasonably related to disposition of all or part of our business
(3) The information in question is publicly available
(4) The disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment or defense of legal claims
(5) The disclosure is to another affiliated entity or to persons or entities providing services on our or your employer’s behalf (each a “transferee”), consistent with the purpose for which the information was obtained, if the transferee, with respect to the information in question:
(a) Is subject to law providing an adequate level of privacy protection

(c) Subscribes to the Safe Harbor Principles
Permitted transfers of information, either to third parties or within InterplX Inc., include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, including transfers to and from the United States of America. Because privacy laws vary from one jurisdiction to another, personal information may be transferred to a jurisdiction where the laws provide less or different protection than the jurisdiction in which the information originated.
Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use and confidentiality of personal information, we have put into place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to safeguard and secure the personal information we process. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet or other unsecure methods outside our defined process.
Data Integrity
The personal information we collect is relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used. To the extent necessary for such purposes, we take reasonable steps to make sure that personal information is accurate, complete, current, and otherwise reliable with regard to its intended use.
Access to and Removal of Personal Information
You may request that we correct, amend or delete your personal information stored by us in electronic form where it is inaccurate. We will honor your request, but we are unable to guarantee that all such information will be deleted because some residual information may remain on back-up storage and other media until destroyed in accordance with our standard procedures.
