Please review this Notice fully, noting your relationship with GCH either as a recipient of the Services GCH provides (Client), a client or user of services from a GCH Client, for whom GCH may provide services on its behalf (a Client Data Subject), a job applicant or prospective job applicant (Job Applicant) or a visitor to this Site (Site Visitor).

A. What is Personal Data?

The term Personal Data refers to a broad scope of information about any individual person. Data protection and privacy laws (Privacy Laws) define Personal Data in different ways, but generally, Personal Data refers to any data that can be used directly or indirectly, alone or in combination with other data, to identify a living person. This is how GCH defines and uses the term Personal Data (also Data, Personal Information, or your information) in this Notice. For example, a person's cell phone number is considered their Personal Data, while a company's telephone number is not the personal data of the company.

Most Privacy Laws distinguish between the roles an entity may play in their processing of Personal Data. As noted above, the entity which sets the rules for how Personal Data is processed or used is the Controller, while other entities, which may process Personal Data on behalf of a Controller, are referred to as Processors (or Service Providers). A Controller decides why and how to process Personal Data. A Processor does not make decisions about the purposes of the processing of Personal Data; it merely processes or uses Data for the Controller according to the Controller's instructions.

B. Scope of this Notice

This Notice does not apply to Personal Data of Client Data Subjects where GCH acts as a Processor.

As mentioned above, GCH is a business-to-business consulting company, serving the wireless telecommunications industry in the United States. Our Services include the provision and access to our website www.gchtech.com (Site), as well as the provision of technology, operational, and consulting services on behalf of the governing entity for the U.S. telecommunication industry (collectively, our Services). GCH's processing of your Personal Data depends on how we interact and what relationship we have with you.

GCH Client

A business that has directly entered into an agreement with GCH to assist in the provision of that business's services.

Job Applicants

Individuals who come to the Site to apply for employment directly with GCH.

Site Visitors

Individuals who access the Site.

Client Data Subjects

Clients or users of services from a GCH Client, for whom GCH may provide services on its behalf.

C. How GCH Uses Personal Data

In most of GCH processing activities, GCH is providing its Services on behalf of its Clients and will be acting as a Processor of Data collected or processed in that capacity, such as any contact information, email communications, status of a project, or information related to our execution of certain Services on behalf of each Client. Where GCH acts as a Processor on behalf of its Clients, the Client entity's own privacy terms and policies will apply to Data GCH processes on its behalf.

C.1. Client Data Subjects – GCH is also a Processor

GCH Clients may contract with us to provide services on their behalf, including processing Personal Data according to the Client's instructions, as a Processor. A GCH Client may have used GCH Services during your interaction with the Client entity or to process Data related to your interaction with Client. If so, you are a Client Data Subject, the Client entity is the controller of your Data, and we came into play as the Processor of that Data. Any Personal Data generated during these interactions is a part of the Client entity account with us, and is governed by that organization's policies, not ours. Please direct any privacy inquiries to the GCH Client organization's administrator.

As stated in Section B, above, GCH's processing of Client Data Subject Personal Data is not in scope for this Privacy notice. Such processing activity is not discussed or addressed further in this Notice.

C.2. Business Contacts

If you interact with GCH or its Services on behalf of an organization, such as your employer or a business that you own or manage, that company is the Controller of your Personal Data, not GCH. Your Personal Data may form a part of your organization's GCH Client account data and processed for support of the Services we provide to that Client. You can read about how we process Client account data, such as your business email or other business contact information below. If you want to learn how our Client, your employer, handles your Personal Data, we encourage you to read that Client entity's specific privacy policies and notices.

GCH may in some limited circumstances act as the Controller of your Personal Data where GCH determines the business purpose for Data use. For example, GCH is the Controller of Data for any non-business interactions with us, such as visits to the Site or interactions with our Services in your personal capacity.

C.3. Site Visitors

If you are a Site Visitor, we act as the Controller of the information we collect directly or automatically as you navigate our Site. However, the Site may contain links to other websites, applications, and services from third parties.

C.4. Employees, Job Applicants, and Contractors

If you are a GCH employee, completing our employee on-boarding process, a Job Applicant, or a contractor working for us, GCH will be the Controller of the Data we collect from you in that capacity, including through your use of the Site or our Services. However, if you are a GCH employee, completing our employee on-boarding processes, or a contractor working for us, any Data we collect from you in that capacity is governed by our internal policies, not this Privacy Notice.

c. Sometimes Information is Vital

a. With Your Consent

b. To Fulfill the Purpose for Which You Provided the Data

c. For Any Purpose Disclosed by Us in this Notice or when You Provided the Data

d. Data in the Aggregate

We may disclose "blinded" aggregated data and user statistics without restriction. Blinded data is data that does not identify any individual.

e. To Service Providers

We may disclose Personal Data that we collect or that you provide to service providers and other third parties we use to support our business. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited Services on our behalf, such as Site development and operation including presenting Site content, managing form submissions and browsing sessions; sending postal mail or email; Site optimization; providing Site security; fraud detection; facilitating marketing; processing payments; and processing Data. We provide those companies only the information they need to deliver the service to us or on our behalf.

  • When we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
  • For administrative and other purposes we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and Services and our information security.

In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of GCH's businesses, Client and Site Visitor Data may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred Data may become subject to a different privacy notice.

F. How to Make Choices about Your Personal Data

F.1. The State Privacy Laws

GCH does business in North America. We do not solicit business or contact businesses or consumers outside of North America at this time. We do not collect Personal Data from residents of the United Kingdom or the European Union.

Residents of certain U.S. states may have rights (now or in the future) under privacy laws in effect in their state.

U.S. state privacy laws (State Privacy Laws) generally apply to Consumers who are natural persons acting in their personal or household capacities. The State Privacy Laws (other than the CCPA, for California residents and covered businesses), do not apply to Personal Data collected in the business-to-business (B2B), workforce, or employment contexts. This means that if you interact with GCH as a contractor, employee, or business representative of your organization, Data we collect or process from those interactions is generally not tied to Personal Data rights under State Privacy Laws (except for the CCPA, if applicable to the individual and to the business). We may not process privacy requests in cases where such State Privacy Law do not apply.

Business vs Commercial Purposes

When you are acting as business representative of an organization, we generally collect, retain, and use your Personal Data for business purposes and limited, if any, commercial purposes. Business purposes generally are not tied to an opt-out right under the State Privacy Laws because they do not implicate a sale, sharing or targeted advertising of a consumer's Data as defined under those laws.

Commercial purposes, on the other hand, generally trigger opt-out rights for consumers under the State Privacy Laws, particularly where sales, sharing, or targeted advertising of a consumer's Personal Data is involved. An example is where a third-party business collects a consumer's Personal Data using cookies, and that Data is used for certain advertising purposes.

However:

  • GCH does not knowingly sell or allow third parties to sell your information.
  • GCH does not knowingly share Personal Data for purposes of targeted advertising.
  • GCH does not knowingly use technologies to track an individual's behavior across the internet and derive value from use of such technologies.
  • GCH does use limited technology to obtain limited information about how a Site visitor interacts with our Site.

While consumers may be covered by an applicable State Privacy Law, some of the State Privacy Laws may not apply to GCH due to the scope of our business and limited number of interactions with consumer residents in certain states.

We will adhere to U.S. State Privacy Law rights to the extent that they apply to you and to us.

F.2. Exercising your privacy rights under applicable law

In the event we hold Consumer Personal Data about you that is subject to applicable US Privacy Laws, if you wish to access, correct, update, limit the use of sensitive Personal Data, or request deletion of your Personal Data, you can do so by using the Web Form provided under the Contact GCH heading at the top of this Notice.

We will of course need to verify you are who you say you are before we provide access (to anyone, including an Authorized Agent) to your Personal Data. To protect your privacy, such verification by GCH may vary, depending on the sensitivity of the information. We use the information you provide to match the identifying information, if any, already maintained by GCH. An Authorized Agent is a natural person or an entity registered with the relevant government agency, such as a Secretary of State, who you have authorized to act on your behalf. GCH requires you to confirm that you have provided the Authorized Agent permission to submit the request, including a signed permission. Signed means the written attestation, declaration, or permission has either been physically signed or provided electronically pursuant to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. GCH may deny a request from an Authorized Agent who does not submit the requisite proof that they have been authorized to act on your behalf.

GCH does not discriminate against anyone for exercising privacy rights under applicable law.

If you have an inquiry, please send the following information to us using the Web Form in the Contact GCH section at the top of this Notice.

F.3. Supplemental Notice to California Residents

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits individuals who are California residents that have a business relationship with us to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us using the Web Form in the Contact GCH section at the top of this Notice. Make sure to state that you are a California resident.

F.4. Supplemental Notice to Nevada Residents

Nevada Rev. Stat. § 603A.345, permits consumers in Nevada to opt-out of the sale of certain kinds of Personal Data. A sale under Nevada law is the transfer of this Personal Data to third parties for monetary consideration so these third parties can then re-sell or license the sold Data. We do not sell your Personal Data to third parties as defined in Nevada law.

G. How GCH Secures Personal Data

Use of any online network or system inherently involves risks of unauthorized disclosure or exposure. GCH has taken appropriate technical, organizational and administrative security measures in an effort to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of information and Data provided to GCH. We use industry standard encryption, security controls and system monitoring to keep access restricted and our data, including your Personal Data, secure.

H. Cookies

The information we collect using cookies provides us a better understanding of the visitors who visit our Site, where they come from, and what content on our Site is of interest to them. This information is used for our internal purposes, to improve the quality and relevance of our Site and Services to our Site visitors, and to enhance the security of our Site. We also use this information for detection and prevention of fraud, security threats or other illegal or suspicious behavior on our Site.

I. Withdrawal of Consent

If we have collected and used your Personal Data with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the use conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

No child under 18 should use this Site. Our Services and Site are not in any way directed to individuals under 18 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from those under 18.

K. Changes to our Privacy Notice

GCH will review and may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. When we do, the most current version will be available at www.gchtech.com/privacy-policy with notice of the date of the most recent update. We will post the new one on this page.
