Here, the User is responsible for ensuring that Resellers are provided with appropriate notice and choice with respect to their Personal Data.

In its role as a controller and as required by applicable law, UPPmarket generally offers individuals in the EU and Switzerland (together: “EEA/CH Consumers”) the opportunity to choose whether their Personal Data may be (i) disclosed to third-party controllers or (ii) used for a purpose that is materially different from the purposes for which the information was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant EEA/CH Consumer. To the extent required by the Privacy Shield Principles, UPPmarket obtains opt-in consent for certain uses and disclosures of sensitive data. EEA/CH Consumers may contact UPPmarket as indicated below regarding the UPPmarket’s use or disclosure of their Personal Data. Unless UPPmarket offers EEA/CH Consumers an appropriate choice, UPPmarket uses Personal Data only for purposes that are materially the same as those indicated in this Policy.

3. Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
