Privacy Shield Policy

The Distance Matrix API

Preamble
This Privacy Shield Policy ("Policy") describes how Distancematrix.ai ("Company," "we," "us," or "Distancematrix") receive and process certain personally identifiable information that we receive in the United States ("US") from the European Economic Area ("EEA") and Switzerland ("Personal Data") under the Privacy Shield program. This Policy supplements Distancematrix Privacy Policy located at "Distancematrix Privacy Policy", and unless specifically defined in this Policy, the terms in this Policy have the same meaning as the Distancematrix Privacy Policy.

Distancematrix recognizes that the EEA and Switzerland has established strict protections regarding the handling of Personal Data, including requirements to provide adequate protection for Personal Data transferred outside of the EEA and Switzerland. To provide adequate protection for certain Personal Data about our consumers and their end users received in the US from the EEA and Switzerland, Distancematrix has elected to self-certify to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework administered by the US Department of Commerce ("Privacy Shield"). Distancematrix adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability.

For purposes of enforcing compliance with the Privacy Shield, Distancematrix is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the US Federal Trade Commission. For more information about the Privacy Shield, see the US Department of Commerce's Privacy Shield website located at: https://www.privacyshield.gov.
