In many cases in which we collect or receive your Personal Information, we are acting as a “service provider” to your employer (our Member), as such term is defined in the CCPA. Atomy is contractually prohibited in such cases from collecting, accessing, maintaining, using, processing and transferring your Personal Information except as is necessary to perform our contractual obligations to our Member or as otherwise required or permitted by law. If you are a California resident and you have questions about our collection and use of your Personal Information in this context, please contact your employer, who acts as the “business” under the CCPA in such cases.

California B2B Client Representatives. If you are a representative of one of our business clients, we may have Personal Information about you, such as your contact information, title, and other information reflecting our communications and transactions with our business clients. We do not, and do not intend in the future, to sell this Personal Information. If you have questions regarding this policy or Atomy’s privacy practices while acting in this capacity, please contact us at to atomy_usa@atomypark.com.

Other California Business Prospects and Visitors. Outside of the two contexts described above, Atomy may collect and maintain Personal Information about California business prospects and visitors in Atomy’s capacity as a “business” under the CCPA. In these cases, the CCPA gives California residents the right to request access to or deletion of (subject to certain exceptions) such information from ATOMY. In general, the categories of Personal Information that Atomy may have about California business prospects and visitors include identifiers and commercial information, as well as network and geolocation information depending on whether and how a visitor or prospect has interreacted with our Websites. Some of this Personal Information may be covered by California’s Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)). This Personal Information is used and shared as described in this policy. Atomy does not (and does not intend in the future) to sell your personal information. To request more information about the Personal Information collected about you in this context in the last 12 months, or to request deletion of your Personal Information, you may call 253-946-2344 or email atomy_usa@atomypark.com. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information, and access requests may only be made twice within a 12-month period. Atomy must be able to verify your identity in order to comply with your requests under the CCPA. To do so, Atomy will seek to associate the information provided by you when making your request with personal information we have collected about you previously. Atomy will endeavor to respond to valid verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. ATOMY may not and will not discriminate against any California consumer for exercising any of the rights described in this section – including by charging differential pricing.

9. Data Security

Atomy has implemented reasonable, risk-based technical and organizational measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen a password for access to certain parts of the Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to the Platform. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Application by any third party unless the circumvention was the result of our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10. Data Retention

The period for which we retain your Personal Information varies depending upon the legal basis for which we collected such data:

Legal Basis Length of Time
Performance of a contract to which you are (or your employer is) a party: As long as is necessary for the performance of the contract.
Compliance with legal obligation: As long as is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations.
Our legitimate business interests: Until you ask us to stop, unless an exception under applicable data protection law applies.
Your consent: Until you revoke your consent, unless an exception under applicable data protection law applies.

Atomy may provide the opportunity to submit job applications through the use of our Website. If you submit an application we may retain the submitted information for as long as allowed by applicable law, unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
