When we process personal data received from the EU, UK, or Switzerland, the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles govern our handling of that data. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the DPF Principles, the Principles prevail.

3.5 Communication Preferences and Choices
We provide certain choices regarding the information Visitors provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information when using our Website. If you do not wish to have your e-mail address used for promotional purposes by CastleHill, you may withdraw consent at a later time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link located in the emails sent by CastleHill.

CastleHill complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. We have 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. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) Program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/

In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, CastleHill commits to cooperate and comply respectively with the advice of the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.

Our firm may process personal data on behalf of clients, employees, vendors, and other stakeholders in order to deliver risk‑assessment, mitigation, and advisory services. We are a self‑certified participant in the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and therefore bind ourselves to the framework’s core and supplemental principles, the FTC’s enforcement authority, and the DPF‑mandated dispute‑resolution mechanisms. CastleHill acknowledges that, as a DPF participant, it is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We will cooperate fully with any FTC inquiry, and violations of the DPF Principles may lead to enforcement actions, including civil penalties, under the FTC Act.

Choice – Sensitive Information

Opt‑in for Sensitive Information – Before we collect any data classified as “sensitive” (health, biometric, financial, or other protected categories), we obtain a clear affirmative consent (opt‑in) from the individual. The consent request explains the specific purpose, retention period, and any downstream sharing. Individuals may manage or withdraw each consent at any time by emailing privacy@castlehillrisk.com; revocation will be effected within five (5) business days and will halt further processing of the withdrawn data, except where retention is required by law.

Opt‑out Options – For non‑essential disclosures (e.g., sharing risk‑assessment summaries with third‑party service providers for ancillary services) individuals may opt‑out at any time by contacting privacy@castlehillrisk.com.

Right to Invoke Arbitration – An individual may invoke binding arbitration to resolve “residual” claims (claims that remain unremedied after other DPF recourse steps). To do so, the individual must:

Follow the pre‑arbitration requirements outlined in Annex I (e.g., filing a claim with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution‑American Arbitration Association – ICDR‑AAA); and

Meet any additional conditions set forth in Annex I (such as fee contributions).

To initiate arbitration, an individual must provide written notice of intent within 30 days of the alleged violation. The notice must be sent to the Privacy Officer at privacy@castlehillrisk.com and must include a concise description of the claim. Prior to arbitration, the individual must first utilize the free, independent recourse mechanism provided the International Centre for Dispute Resolution‑American Arbitration Association (ICDR‑AAA). If the dispute remains unresolved after that step, the parties will proceed to binding arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution‑American Arbitration Association (ICDR‑AAA) in accordance with Annex I of the DPF Principles. The FTC‑administered arbitration fund will cover the organization’s portion of the arbitration costs, and the award will be final and binding on both parties, with each side bearing its own attorney’s fees unless otherwise ordered by the arbitrator.

Our Obligation – Upon receipt of a valid notice, we are obligated to arbitrate the claim in accordance with the terms of Annex I and will bear the portion of costs stipulated for the organization (the FTC‑administered arbitration fund).

Outcome – The arbitrator may issue remedial orders (e.g., corrective actions, monetary awards) but no damages, costs, or attorney‑fees are awarded beyond the statutory limits; each party bears its own attorney’s fees.

Contractual Safeguards – Whenever we transfer personal data received under the DPF to a third‑party processor or sub‑processor, we must enter into a contractual agreement that:

Mirrors the DPF core principles (notice, choice, security, etc.) for the onward recipient;

Requires the onward recipient to provide the same level of protection as we are obligated to provide; and

Includes liability clauses holding us accountable for any breach caused by the onward recipient’s failure to meet those standards.

Each onward‑transfer agreement includes a DPF‑compliant Data Processing Addendum that obligates the third‑party processor to uphold all seven core DPF principles and the relevant supplemental principles, including security, choice, and access. Prior to entering into any such contract, we perform due‑diligence verification of the processor’s DPF certification status and retain documentation of that verification. Should a downstream breach occur because the processor failed to meet these obligations,

Organizational Liability – Our firm remains liable for any violations arising from onward transfers, even if the breach originates with a third party, unless we can demonstrate that we exercised reasonable due diligence and the third party complied with the contractual obligations. This aligns with the DPF’s Obligatory Contracts for Onward Transfers requirement.

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose, comply with legal obligations, or as otherwise required by contract.

Upon a valid request, we delete or anonymize data promptly, except where retention is mandated by law (e.g., tax or financial‑recordkeeping).

3.5.1. Cookies
Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. You may also set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent.

3.5.2. Do Not Track
While CastleHill attempts to honor do not track (“DNT”) instructions we receive from a Visitor’s browser, we cannot guarantee that CastleHill will always respond to such signals, in part, because of the lack of common industry standard for DNT technology. We continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and stay apprised of DNT industry standards as they evolve.

3.5.3. Choice
You should review this Policy carefully, because if you do not agree with our practices, your ultimate choice is not to use the Website. Remember, by using any part of our Website, you accept and agree to our privacy practices.

3.6 Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
You may send us an e-mail at privacy@castlehillrisk.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us in connection with the Website. We will use reasonable efforts to respond to such requests for correction or updates to personal information.
