6. Binding Arbitration Regarding EU Personal Data
You may also submit a complaint to the Data Protection Authority of your residence, which will communicate it to the US Department of Commerce. In the event that you cannot fully resolve your complaint through the Department of Commerce, it is possible that you may invoke binding arbitration through the Privacy Shield Panel as a final resort. In order to invoke this arbitration option you must take the following steps prior to initiating an arbitration claim: (1) raise the claimed violation directly with Rowe Intermedia and afford us an opportunity to respond to the issue within 30 days; (2) make use of the independent recourse mechanism, which is at no cost to you; and (3) raise the issue through your Data Protection Authority to the US Department of Commerce and afford the US Department of Commerce an opportunity to use best efforts to resolve the issue.
This arbitration option may not be invoked if your same claimed violation (1) has previously been subject to binding arbitration; (2) was the subject of a final judgment entered in a court action to which you were a party; or (3) was previously settled by you and us. In addition, you may not invoke this option where the Data Protection Authority of the country of your residence already has jurisdiction to resolve your complaint.
You may initiate binding arbitration through the Privacy Shield Panel, subject to the prearbitration requirements provision above, by delivering a “Notice” to Rowe Intermedia. The Notice shall contain a summary of steps taken to resolve the claim, a description of the alleged violation, and, at the choice of the individual, any supporting documents and materials and/or a discussion of law relating to the alleged claim. For more information on how to invoke arbitration under the Privacy Shield Framework, please visit
https://www.privacyshield.gov/article?id=ANNEX-I-introduction.
Finally, you may only use binding arbitration to ensure Rowe Intermedia follows the data handling practices set out in this Privacy Policy. No other form of remedy is available by any arbitration under this section.
