Information collected by TWP that is de-identified (permanently dissociated from you as an individual) ceases to be Personal Data and is not subject to this Privacy Statement.

How Long We Store Personal Information

TWP retains personal information described in this policy for as long as necessary to satisfy the purpose for which it was originally collected or for which there is a legitimate business, operational, or legal requirement. Data is retained according to applicable law.

To Whom We Disclose Your Information and Why

The personal information that we collect from you through this Site is only used for our internal purposes as described in this Privacy Notice. We do not sell your personal information. However, we utilize several service providers to help maintain the Site, provide the associated search functionality, and conduct TWP operations. Below is a list of those entities to whom we may disclose your personal information.

• Database Hosting Vendors. Like many organizations, we utilize cloud databases to host our data, including your personal information, so that we can effectively and safely operate the Site.
• We may be subject to audits from various entities, such as our regulators or service providers, as well as due to our internal auditing policies. To accomplish an effective audit, we must provide information, which may include your personal information, to external auditors. We always ensure that your information is safely disclosed and stored and that auditors can only use your information to complete an audit.

We may share all or part of your personal information with other entities in connection with the sale, assignment, merger, or other transfer of all or a portion of our organization or assets to such entities (including due to a sale in connection with a bankruptcy). We will require any such purchaser, assignee, or other successor organization to honor the terms of this Privacy Notice.
• Legal Purposes.

We may disclose information in response to a subpoena, search warrant, in connection with judicial proceedings, or under court orders, legal process, or other law enforcement measures.

The terms of this Supplemental Privacy Notice apply in addition to the Privacy Notice for individuals visiting the Site from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, or outside the United States.

THESE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS APPLY TO ALL PERSONAL DATA ABOUT YOU THAT WE COLLECT, HOLD, USE AND DISCLOSE, REGARDLESS OF HOW WE COLLECT IT.

Personal Data

For this Supplemental Policy, personal data is as defined by the law applicable to the jurisdiction where you live. It generally means any information about an identifiable individual. It may include your name, age, mailing address, residential phone number, or e-mail address, personal history (including financial and credit information, donations, personal health information, billing history, personal family and relationship matters, and penal or criminal information), personal information related to corporate involvements, work experience (past and present), income and benefits, medical records, tax records, and security clearances.

Collection Of Personal Data

TWP collects personal data through the provision of the Site. You can find specific details about the personal data that TWP collects from you in the main part of this privacy notice.

Where we are the Data Controller with regard to your personal data, you may exercise your rights as a data subject, including the right to object to the processing of your personal data when it is processed based on legitimate interests as described in this Supplemental Policy. Please note that your information will be transferred to and stored in the United States, whose privacy laws may not be as strong or comprehensive as the privacy laws in your own country.

How We Use Personal Data

As a general matter, we collect your personal data primarily to administer and provision the Site. You can find specific details about the purposes for which TWP collects personal information from you in the main privacy statement.

The Basis On Which We Process Your Personal Data

We will only collect and process your personal information as is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of TWP’s functions or activities.

Where required by law, we rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

• Performance of a contract: We may need to collect and use your personal data to enter into a contract or to perform a contract that you have with us.
• Consent: Where required by law, we will obtain your explicit consent for collecting and processing your personal data.
• Legitimate interests: We may use your personal data for our legitimate interests of detecting and preventing fraud as well as maintaining the security of TWP’s network and information systems.

Obtaining Consent

Except when otherwise permitted by law, we obtain the requisite consent before collecting and, in any case, before using or disclosing your personal data for any purpose other than as disclosed herein.

You may provide your consent to us orally, in writing, by electronic communication, or by any other means reasonably capable of conveying your consent. We will obtain your express consent if we collect, use or disclose sensitive personal data in our capacity as a data controller. We may also share data with third-party partners for whom you have given us consent. Your consent may also be intrinsic to the circumstances such as in the case where you have already provided personal data to us and you maintain your relationship with us or where you provide our representatives with your phone number or e-mail so that we can contact you. Except when otherwise permitted by law, we will only use the data for the purpose for which it was given.

Where your consent is required, you may withdraw your consent at any time (unless withdrawing the consent would frustrate the performance of our legal obligations) upon providing us a 30-day notice. However, the withdrawal of your consent may adversely affect our ability to provide the Site to you and to maintain our relationship with you.

Third Parties

We remain responsible for all personal data communicated to other entities for processing. As such, we ensure that other entities that are engaged to provide products or services on our behalf and are provided with personal data are required to observe the intent of this Supplemental Policy by having comparable levels of security protection or, when required, by assuring us (through a confidentiality agreement) that they will not use or disclose the personal data for any purpose other than the purpose for which the personal data was communicated. You can find specific details about to whom TWP discloses your personal data in the main Privacy Notice.

Limitations

We only collect the personal data necessary to fulfill the purposes identified to you before or at the time of collection, or for any other reasonable and legitimate purposes or as required by law.

We do not use or disclose your personal data, except for the purposes for which it was collected, or new purposes to which you have consented, or as required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We do not, as a condition of providing the Site to you or on your behalf, or as an administrative or management requirement, require consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data beyond what is reasonably required for such purposes, or to comply with our obligations under applicable law.

Retention of Personal Data

We may keep a record of your personal data, including correspondence or comments, in a file specific to you. We will utilize, disclose, or retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for legal or business requirements. We will establish minimum and maximum retention periods and procedures for maintaining and destroying your personal data. When personal data is retained to make a decision about you, we will retain such information for the period required to comply with our internal data retention policies. You can find more information about how long TWP stores your personal data in the Privacy Policy.

To help us maintain and ensure that your personal data is accurate and up to date, you must inform us, without delay, of any change in the data that you have provided to us.

You can at any time, challenge the accuracy or completeness of the personal data we have about you, subject to the exceptions provided by applicable law. If you demonstrate that the personal data we have on you is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the personal data as required. Where appropriate, we will transmit the amended data to third parties to whom we have communicated your personal data.

Response Time

We will make every reasonable effort to respond to each of your written requests not later than 30 days after receipt of such requests. When applicable, we will advise you in writing if we cannot meet your requests within this time limit. When applicable, you have the right to make a complaint to the appropriate supervisory authority concerning this time limit.

We expect to be able to respond to your request without charge as a general matter.  However, we reserve the right to collect a reasonable charge when you request the transcription, reproduction, or transmission of such information. We will notify you, following your request for transcription, reproduction, or transmission of the appropriate amount that will be charged. You will then have the opportunity to withdraw your request.

Identifying You In Connection With Requests

We may require that you provide us additional information to identify yourself before we provide information about the existence, use, or disclosure of your personal data in our possession. Any such information that you provide to us shall be used only for this purpose.

Safeguards

We use security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of personal data to protect it from loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. These safeguards include physical measures, such as restricted access to offices and equipment, organizational measures, such as security clearances, and publishing this policy to appropriate personnel with instructions to act following its principles (for example, limiting access on a “need to know” basis), and technological measures, such as the use of passwords and/or encryption. Personal data is generally located with our database provider.
