Data Privacy Framework Notice

Effective as of January 3, 2024


This Data Privacy Framework Notice (the "Notice") supplements the GoTo Privacy Policy where you will find details about the types of personal data we collect, as well as the purposes for which we collect personal data. GoTo and its U.S. affiliates comply 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. DPF ("Swiss-U.S. DPF"), as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. GoTo has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, the Swiss-US DPF Principles, and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF (the "Principles") with respect to such data.

If there is any conflict between the terms in this Notice and 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/.

Third Party Transfers

To the extent GoTo uses its affiliates or third-party providers in the provision and operation of its Services and processing of any Content, including any personal data therein, it discloses those parties in the applicable Affiliate and/or Sub-processor Disclosure in its Trust & Privacy Center (see the "Product Resources" section). GoTo maintains contracts with these third parties restricting their access, use and disclosure of personal data in compliance with our DPF obligations, including the onward transfer provisions, and GoTo shall remain liable if they fail to meet those obligations unless we are not responsible for the events giving rise to the damage.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission Enforcement and Compelled Disclosure

With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the DPF, GoTo is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. As explained here, GoTo may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. GoTo will only provide customer information if the Government has appropriate authority under applicable law to request such information. We will review all international Government requests on a country-by-country and case-by-case basis to consider and balance our local legal obligations against our commitments to promote users' safety and privacy.
