For personal data transferred to MYI from the EU, if we transfer your personal data to a third party, we will ensure that the third party is contractually obligated to process your data only for limited, specific purposes consistent with this policy. We will also ensure that the third party will apply the same level of protection to that data as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles and will notify us if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet this obligation. MYI may be potentially liable if these requirements are not met.

Complaints, Questions, and Arbitration

In compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Principles, we strive to resolve all complaints about privacy and the collection or use of customer information.
