This section does not address or apply to our handling of personal data of our employees or applicants (see https://cordial.com/careers/) or that is exempt under the CCPA.
Note that these rights only apply to personal data that we collect and process under this Policy as a business or a controller.

13. International Transfers
Last Updated: February 2026
Cordial Experience, Inc. ("Cordial, "we," "us," or "our") stores and processes personal data using servers located in the United States ( "US"). However, certain of our Business Clients and processors may be located in areas outside of the US including in member states of the European Union ( "EU"), Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (together the "EEA"), Switzerland and the United Kingdom ( "UK"). As such, your personal data may be transmitted across international borders and processed in the US, which is a different country from that in which it was collected. Because the US may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective), we have implemented appropriate safeguards and international transfer mechanisms such as entering into and complying with Data Processing Agreements that incorporate the EU or UK Standard Contractual Clauses.
Data Privacy Framework Notice for Personal Data Transfers to the United States
Cordial complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Cordial has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. Cordial has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from Switzerland in reliance on the Swiss-U.S. DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles (DPF Principles), the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework Program (DPF Program), and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.
Cordial is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. In connection with onward transfers, Cordial has responsibility for the processing of personal data that it receives and subsequently transfers to any third party, who is acting as an agent on Cordial's behalf. Cordial commits to resolve complaints about the processing of your personal data. If you are an EU, UK, or Swiss Individual, where we transfer your personal data to third party service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, we are responsible for the processing of that data by them and shall remain liable if they process your personal data in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Pursuant to the DPF Program, EU, UK, and Swiss individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to you in the United States. Upon request, we will provide you with access to the personal information that we hold about you. You may also correct, amend, or delete the personal information we hold about you. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data transferred to the United States in reliance on the DPF Program should direct their query to privacy@cordial.com.
If requested to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We will provide an individual opt-out choice, or opt-in for sensitive data, before we share your data with third parties other than our agents, or before we use it for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized. To request to limit the use and disclosure of your personal information, please submit a written request to privacy@cordial.com.
In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
We will conduct regular compliance audits of our privacy practices to verify compliance with the Data Privacy Frameworks and this Policy. Any questions or concerns about our privacy practices should be sent to the address or email below. We will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints and disputes regarding the use and disclosure of personal data in accordance with the provisions of this Policy.
