(c) Headings in this Agreement are included for convenience or reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

SAFE HARBOR PARTICIPATION STATEMENT

ALACRA adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and the Frequently Asked Questions (collectively, the "Safe Harbor Principles") established by the United States Department of Commerce in consultation with the European Commission. Compliance with the Safe Harbor Principles ensures that personal information shared with ALACRA from the European Union is provided "adequate" protection. Confirmation of ALACRA's "self-certification" and of its adherence to the Safe Harbor Principles can be found at: http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/index.html.

As detailed above, ALACRA operates various world wide websites (the "Site(s)"), which enable individuals to access, purchase and/or download business information and data. When an individual user browses or accesses an ALACRA Site, ALACRA may collect personal information. ALACRA also provides professional services to business clients (the "Services"). For those business clients who engage ALACRA to provide Services, ALACRA may be required, as part of its contractual obligation, to process personal information, including personally-identifiable information, provided to ALACRA by such business clients. In such cases, ALACRA acts merely as a data processor.

The Safe Harbor is based on the following seven Principles:
1. Notice.
ALACRA collects, processes, and discloses personal information in the ordinary course of its business.
(a)

ALACRA Sites: When you browse or access an ALACRA Site, ALACRA may collect personal information. Generally, however, you have the choice of whether to provide personal information to ALACRA. If you do, you are prompted only for certain basic or necessary information, such as your name, company name (if applicable(, address, e-mail address, telephone number and credit card information (also if applicable). You will not need to disclose and ALACRA does not collect or use any "sensitive" personal information, such as your social security number, medical or health condition, age, racial or ethnic origin, sex, religion, or political affiliation. ALACRA may also collect information that you choose to include in an e-mail message to our customer service department, your IP address, web browser and operating system information, date and time of visits, the web pages your Internet browser visits when browsing an ALACRA Site, and the number of hits per week or per web page.

ALACRA may use the information you provide us for the following purposes: (i) fulfillment and tracking of orders; (ii) providing services and support; (iii) tracking of payments and otherwise ensuring payment; (iv) assessing performance and making assessments about future purchases; (v) performing direct marketing activities; (vi) improving our Sites; and (vii) otherwise communicating information regarding ALACRA products or services (where permitted by law). For information submitted using the online job application process, ALACRA may use and disseminate this information internally as necessary to consider your application and to contact you regarding our decision.

ALACRA also may disclose personal information as necessary in connection with the sale or transfer of all or part of its business, where required by law, where ALACRA believes that such disclosures are appropriate in connection with a law enforcement request or otherwise permitted by the Safe Harbor Principles, or in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud or enforce or apply ALACRA agreements.

(b)

ALACRA Services: In certain situations, ALACRA may obtain incidental access to information, including personal information, about its business clients' customers and other individuals in connection with professional Services ALACRA provides to business clients. These business clients act as the data controller for such information, including information collected in the EU and subsequently transferred to ALACRA in the United States. ALACRA acts as a data processor on behalf and for the sole benefit of a particular business client and processes such data and information solely in accordance with the applicable contract with that business client. ALACRA does not in any manner access or use any information or data, including personally-identifiable information of individuals, it processes pursuant to such contracts with its business clients as part of its own business. Further, as a data processor for its clients, ALACRA does not inform individuals about the purposes for which their personal information is collected and used by such business clients, but rather relies on its business clients to provide any required notices.

2. Choice.
(a)

ALACRA Sites: When you visit an ALACRA Site, you always have a choice as to whether you wish to provide your personal information to ALACRA. By choosing not to provide your personal information, you can "opt out" of having any such information (i) disclosed by ALACRA to a non-agent third party; or (ii) used by ALACRA for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. Please note, however, that if you choose not to provide certain personal information to ALACRA, you may be prevented from making a purchase or taking advantage of other features and benefits of an ALACRA Site. Also, should ALACRA directly collect Sensitive Personal Information (as defined in the Safe Harbor Principles) from individuals through one of its Sites, to the extent applicable and required by the Safe Harbor Principles, ALACRA will offer individuals the choice to opt-in to having their sensitive personal information (i) disclosed to a non-agent third party; or (ii) used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected.

(b)

ALACRA Services: When ALACRA acts as a data processor for its business clients, ALACRA does not offer individuals a choice regarding the purposes for which their personal information is collected and used by such business clients. ALACRA relies on its business clients to provide and comply with any required options.

3. Onward Transfer.
 

ALACRA may disclose and/or personal information to its employees, business partners, subcontractors, consultants, and third-party service providers. ALACRA shall obtain reasonable assurances from its employees, business partners, subcontractors, consultants, and third-party service providers that they will treat and safeguard any personal information shared with them in a manner consistent with this Statement.

4. Security.

Security is extremely important to ALACRA. Accordingly, ALACRA takes reasonable security precautions to protect personal information it collects and processes from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. ALACRA safeguards information according to established security standards and periodically assesses new technology for improved methods of protecting information.

5. Data Integrity.

With regard to the ALACRA Sites, ALACRA takes reasonable measures to verify that personal information it collects is relevant for its intended use, reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current. As a data processor for business clients, ALACRA does not typically collect, access or use the personal information provided by its business clients, and ALACRA relies on its business clients to ensure that personal information is relevant for the purposes for which it is used, reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current.

6. Access.

ALACRA provides individuals from whom it directly collects information through an ALACRA Site the opportunity to access, review and correct their own personal information, and otherwise provides such individuals access to personal information in accordance with the Safe Harbor Principles. Any personal information contained in the Services provided by ALACRA to its business clients as a data processor is under the ownership and control of the particular business client contracting the Service. ALACRA is not authorized to access or change any such personal information, and the burden and expense for ALACRA to identify individuals and provide access for them to correct, amend or delete information would be disproportionate to the risks to the individuals' privacy, and would possibly violate ALACRA's contractual obligations to its business clients.

7. Enforcement.

ALACRA will monitor and conduct periodic assessments to verify its adherence to this Statement. ALACRA will investigate suspected infractions and will take all appropriate action. If you have any questions, concerns or complaints regarding ALACRA's collection or processing of personal information pursuant to this Safe Harbor Statement, please contact our Chief Privacy Officer, by sending an e-mail message to privacy@Alacra.com. Alternatively, you can contact our Chief Privacy Officer at:

New York, New York 10005
United States
Attn: Chief Privacy Officer

Additional information may be obtained on the U.S. Department of Commerce website at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor.

ALACRA will conduct a reasonable investigation of, and will attempt to resolve any complaints in accordance with the principles set forth in this Statement. For complaints that cannot be resolved between ALACRA and complainant, ALACRA agrees to cooperate with the European Union Data Protection Authorities, participate in the dispute resolution procedures of the panel established by the European Data Protection Authorities to resolve disputes pursuant to the Safe Harbor Principles, and comply with advice from such Authorities that ALACRA needs to take specific action to comply with the Safe Harbor Principles. ALACRA also agrees to accept the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
ALACRA reserves the right to change this Safe Harbor Statement at any time with or without notice in accordance with the Safe Harbor Principles. Any modified Statement will be posted on ALACRA's Sites for public viewing.

Effective date of this Safe Harbor Statement: April 24, 2009
