TaskUs has further committed to cooperate with the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) with regard to unresolved Privacy Shield complaints concerning data transferred from the EU and Switzerland.
The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over TaskUs compliance with the Privacy Shield Principle.
As per section C of Annex-I to the Privacy Shield Principles, an individual has the possibility, under certain conditions, to invoke binding arbitration for complaints regarding Privacy Shield compliance not resolved by any of the other Privacy Shield mechanisms. The link of section C of Annex-I is referred to for additional information: https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=ANNEX-I-introduction.
In the context of an onward transfer TaskUs has responsibility for the processing of Personal Information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. The TaskUs shall remain liable under the 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.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), and your personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we will:
We retain Personal Information for as long as it is necessary to provide the services you have requested and for other legal compliance or essential business purposes such enforcing our contracts, maintaining the security of our services, business(es) and website, enforcing our legal rights, or dispute resolution.

Please note that we may have a legal obligation to preserve certain data and that we may need to request information from you in order to confirm your identity.

Except where not permissible under local law, you may be required to pay a fee for the administrative cost of providing you with a copy of your data.

European Privacy Rights: If you reside in the European Economic Area, you may have the right to exercise certain privacy rights available to you under applicable laws. We will process your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Privacy Principles

Choice
TaskUs will offer You the opportunity to choose (opt in/opt-out) whether your Personal Information is (a) to be disclosed to a non-processor third party, or (b) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorised by You.
