This provision establishes the operational framework for data transfers to external vendors. By specifying authorized use categories and imposing use limitations on service providers, the clause defines the scope of permissible data sharing and establishes a contractual mechanism to restrict vendor access to information necessary for their contracted functions.
The updated terms establish new procedures for handling personal data complaints related to international data transfers under the EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks. Users from these jurisdictions now have access to defined complaint and dispute resolution mechanisms, including referral to TRUSTe as an alternative dispute provider at no cost, and binding arbitration under certain conditions. Additionally, the policy now requires that before personal data is used for a materially new purpose or shared with external parties not covered as processors, Mailchimp will offer users the opportunity to opt out through appropriate means or collect opt-in consent.
