- Accountability for Onward Transfer
In the event SEE Forge transfers Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy to a third party acting as a controller, SEE Forge will do so consistent with any notice
provided to Data Owners and any consent they have given, and only if the third party has given us contractual assurances that it will:

Employment-related operational needs with respect to personal data transferred under the Privacy Shield for activities such as the booking of a flight, hotel room, or insurance coverage, transfers of personal data of a small number of employees can take place to controllers without application of the Access Principle or entering into a contract with the third-party controller, provided that the Privacy Shield organization has complied with the Notice and Choice Principles.

Upon receiving notice from a Partner that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Privacy Shield Principles, SEE Forge will take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing.
SEE Forge remains liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if a Partner processes Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, except where SEE Forge is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
