We maintain written contracts with these third parties and require that these third parties provide at least the same level of privacy protection and security as required by the DPF Principles. To the extent provided by the DPF Principles, HqO remains responsible and liable under the DPF Principles if a third party that it engages to process personal information on its HqO | HqO’s Data Privacy Framework Policy 2 behalf does so in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless HqO proves that it is not responsible for the matter giving rise to the damage;

Individuals may also have the right to limit the use and disclosure of their personal information (opt out) under certain circumstances, such as marketing. Requests to access, correct, amend, delete, or limit the use and disclosure of personal information (opt out) may be submitted using our request form.
