Our Non-discrimination Policy
As an active member of the Internet Defense League, this hosting service is all in for the freedom of speech and will defend your right to say what you want to say as long as this thing called "human decency" is part of it.
We define human decency as "not doing or saying anything to intentionally cause unnecessary harm to someone else. "
We see it as being polite, courteous, civil, thoughtful & treating others as you wish to be treated.
Your website/content can target a specific audience based on known interests that aligns with the product or service you're selling or reaching out with.
However, we wouldn't want it to be hosted on our system when it is discriminatory enough to deny opportunities to individuals or groups of people based on certain personal attributes such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family/marital status, disability or medical or genetic condition

12. FAIR USE POLICY
Ingress bandwidth pricing is free on our hosting platform. Outbound (egress) Bandwidth pricing is paid for but can be free to a limited extent to some of the hosting tiers and hosting packages we offer.
Given that these resources are shared as fairly and evenly as possible and that no single customer would “hog” these resources thus denying these resources to other customers, we operate what is known as a Fair Usage Policy
When a customer's bandwidth usage exceeds by 125% the total cost of the hosting package he, she, or they is (are) paying for, a Fair Usage violation occurs.
If our systems determine that your resource usage to be significantly excessive in relation to other Web Hosting Magic customers, the systems will automatically adjust the resources available to your website or application in order to ensure that your excessive resource consumption does not negatively impact other customers.
The steps the systems will put in place will be lifted once your resource consumption has come back to its predetermined level or reset at the end of the month.
Customers who need additional bandwidth beyond the setpoint and cannot wait for usage reset at the end of the month can visit client area and purchase additional bandwidth at the cost of $0.65 for each gigabyte of bandwidth.

Web Hosting Magic reserves the right to utilize another domain name service provider at any time, in which case the terms and conditions of such organization will apply complementarily to these Domain Terms and such other domain name service providers shall be deemed a "Registrar" for purposes of these Terms.
Web Hosting Magic may provide one (1) free domain name for up to one year, with a new purchase of an annual or bi-annual subscription plan. The domain will be included for the lifetime of your Web Hosting Magic account, and the domain will be registered in your name and is yours to keep, as long as you cover any applicable domain registration fees following the first year. The free domain name only applies to certain top-level domains (e.g. .com, .net, and .org) when signing up for a new plan.
You are responsible for providing correct and complete data regarding the domain name holder ("Registrant") and the administrative contact when registering the domain name. The technical contact in all cases will be Web Hosting Magic. Before applying for a domain name, it is your responsibility to check that the domain name does not violate the rights of any third party or contravene any applicable law, rule or regulation. We may defer activation of a domain name until payment of the agreed fees for the registration services has been received. Web Hosting Magic is in no position to influence the allocation of the domain name by the Registrar. We can neither guarantee that the requested domain names will be allocated to you and/or that allocated domain names are free of third-party rights nor guarantee their continued existence. Any information we provide regarding the availability of a domain name is based on the data provided by third parties and only refers to the time that information is requested. The domain will not be deemed as allocated before registration of the domain in the name of you, the Registrant, and its entry in the database of the Registrar.
The initial registration term for purchased domains may vary and such registration will auto-renew for successive 12-month periods. You will be charged for auto-renewal forty-five (45) calendar days before your domain expires (even if that date differs from your Web Hosting Magic website subscription renewal date). You can, of course, opt out of auto-renewal by turning off the auto-renew option in your settings at any time before the auto-renewal takes effect. Each purchased domain name is registered in your name and is yours to keep, as long as you pay the applicable fees. If you purchase a new domain, renew an existing domain, and cancel your purchase within the first thirty (30) days by contacting us, you may receive a full refund. Your right and title to your domain name allow you to transfer a purchased domain to another domain provider; however, you will not be eligible for a refund of registration fees paid to Web Hosting Magic for transferred domains. Regardless of the identity of the Registrant or any other contact information in your domain name records, any domain name registered through Web Hosting Magic using your Web Hosting Magic account is covered by these Terms.
Maintaining accurate and current billing information is a mandatory condition of maintaining your Web Hosting Magic account. Such data must include the full and real name of the Registrant, a physical mailing address (PO boxes or anonymous addresses are not permissible), a valid email address, and a telephone number. If this information changes, you must immediately inform us of this change by updating it online. Please note that if your billing information, including your current credit card information, is not current, we will not renew your Domain Services and they may subsequently expire.
Subject to these Terms and those of the Registrar, you may transfer all domain names registered through us to another domain name service provider by following the online instructions provided by Web Hosting Magic. Should we, due to failure on the part of you, the account holder, or the new domain name service provider, be unable to make the domain transfer to your new domain name service provider, we are expressly entitled to have the canceled domain name deleted by the relevant domain name service provider after the cancellation date has lapsed, and we will not be liable to you or any third party for such deletion. We reserve the right to allow domain transfers only if you have settled all undisputed pending claims with us.
It may not always be possible to recover a domain name after it has expired, and Web Hosting Magic has sole discretion in determining when a domain name can be renewed post-expiry and what fees will be applicable. If you forfeit a domain name for non-payment, Web Hosting Magic will have the right, in its sole discretion, to: (a) register and use the domain name for its own purpose; (b) sell or transfer the domain name to a third party; or (c) delete the domain name and allow any new registrant anywhere in the world to register the domain name anew. Further, you agree that Web Hosting Magic may charge the credit card you have on file with Web Hosting Magic to recover any amounts outstanding on your account.
On certain occasions, domain name registrations may become the subject of a legal challenge. If Web Hosting Magic is made a party to any legal action by virtue of one of your domain name registrations, you agree to be responsible for all of Web Hosting Magic’s costs and legal fees and to indemnify and hold Web Hosting Magic harmless from any action. If Web Hosting Magic is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding your domain name, Web Hosting Magic may, at its sole discretion: (a) lock or suspend your ability to use, make modifications to, or transfer your registration records; and/or (b) deposit control of your registration record with the appropriate judicial entity by supplying a registrar certificate from us.
You must notify us immediately if you lose the rights to a domain name registered by Web Hosting Magic on your behalf.
21. EMAIL SERVICE
For the email services provided directly to you by Web Hosting Magic (the "Email Service"), the following terms and conditions also apply. Your use of the Email Service serves as your consent to these terms. Web Hosting Magic may suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Email Service if you do not comply with these terms.
Your use of the Email Service must comply with all applicable domestic and international laws. This includes the laws applicable to you and also laws applicable to Web Hosting Magic and all recipients to whom you intend to send emails (each a "Recipient"). Examples of applicable laws include laws relating to spam or unsolicited commercial email (hereinafter "Spam" or "UCE"), privacy, security, obscenity, defamation, intellectual property, pornography, terrorism, homeland security, gambling, child protection, and other applicable laws. It is your responsibility to know and understand the laws applicable to your use of the Email Service and the emails you generate and send through the Email Service. Your use of the Email Service must also comply with the Privacy Notice applicable to the Email Service. Web Hosting Magic’s Privacy Notice is available here.
You are solely responsible for your products and services and any other promotion and Content contained in or referred to in your emails sent through the Email Service. You agree to use the Email Service in a lawful, safe, and professional manner, consistent with industry best practices, including keeping reliable records. You are solely responsible for any and all statements you make and for all user assistance, warranty, and support of your products and services.
Your use of the Email Service must follow all applicable guidelines established by Web Hosting Magic. The guidelines below are examples of practices that may violate these Terms when generating or sending email or messages through the Email Service:
You will not:- a. Use the Email Service in violation of Web Hosting Magic’s Terms of Service or of any law applicable to you or your Recipients;
- Use the Email Service to send Spam. You must ensure that all Recipients have explicitly granted permission to receive emails from you by affirmatively opting in to receive those emails. All emails and messages sent by means of the Email Service must comply with our Anti-Spam Policy, as outlined below:
- i. Web Hosting Magic has a no tolerance Spam policy and does not knowingly and intentionally do business with any user or company that participates in sending Spam/UCE. We do not sell or exchange personal information from our opt-in lists.
- ii. An email is Spam if, among other things: (a) the Recipient’s personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients; (b) the Recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; and (c) the transmission and reception of the message appears to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.
- iii. Spam is an issue of consent, not content. A Recipient should “affirmatively opt-in,” or expressly consent to receive the message, either in response to a clear and conspicuous request or at the recipient’s own initiative.
- iv. The U.S. CAN-SPAM Act regulates and establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. Other international regulations and laws also apply to electronic marketing, and while we cannot give legal advice, we encourage you to become familiar with these laws, especially if you live in or mail to recipients outside the U.S.
- v. If you receive Spam complaints or run into compliance problems, or if Web Hosting Magic identifies a potentially problematic contact list, we will first ask questions to try to understand your business as well as your marketing goals. If we determine that a list is not consent-based or is too old or problematic to work with, we will require that it be removed from your account. In certain instances, we may ask you to find another service provider because our goals are simply not compatible.
- vi. Please refer to our Email FAQ located in the Help Center for further guidance on how to become a responsible mailer, as well as the additional ways that Web Hosting Magic helps protect against sending unwanted or unsolicited emails.
- vii. If you feel a Web Hosting Magic user is sending an unsolicited email, you can report it to us by sending it to cs[at]webhostingmagic.com
- c. Use the Email Service to request, collect or send any non-public or personally identifiable information about another user or any other person without their express prior written consent (or the parent’s consent in the case of a minor), illegal information, or any other information you do not have the right to request, collect or distribute;
- d. Use the Email Service to send email campaigns that link to or display pornography, other sexually explicit content, illegal goods or services, or any other Content that Web Hosting Magic deems inappropriate in its sole discretion;
- e. Transmit any message, information, data, text, software or image, or other Content that is not owned by you or legally licensed to you, or is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable which may violate another’s right of privacy or publicity;
- f. Send through the Email Service any unethical, false, or misleading advertising, promotions, or sales efforts and practices;
- g. Post or transmit any materials that contain a virus or corrupted data;
- h. Use third party email addresses, domain names, or mail servers without proper permission;
- i. Send emails that result in an unacceptable number of Spam or UCE complaints (even if the emails themselves were not actually Spam or UCE);
- j. Disable or fail to include a working “unsubscribe” link in every email, which allows the Recipient/s to remove themselves from your mailing list. Each such link must remain operational for at least 60 days after the date on which you send the message, and you agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable the link;
- k. Disable or fail to comply with any request from a Recipient to be removed from your mailing list within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the request. You cannot charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifiable information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an unsubscribe request. As required under the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and other applicable laws, you acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining and honoring the list of unsubscribe requests following termination of your Web Hosting Magic account, for any reason whatsoever;
- l. Disguise the origin or subject matter of any email or falsify or manipulate the originating email address, subject line, headers, or transmission path information for any email. For any email or message sent by you using the Email Service, (a) the “from” line must accurately and in a non-deceptive manner identify your identity or your organization’s identity; and (b) the “subject” line of your email must relate to the email’s actual content and must not contain any deceptive or misleading content regarding the overall subject matter of the email message. You agree that you are the sole or designated sender of any email you send through the Email Service, pursuant to any law or act applicable to your use of the Email Service (e.g., U.S. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, S.C. 2010, c. 23 and Directive 2003/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002), and as such you are required to comply with such laws and any other laws in other jurisdictions that apply to your use of the Email Service, and be responsible for any violation of any such applicable laws.
- m. Failure to include in each email your valid physical mailing address (which if you are located in the United States, may be a valid post office box meeting the registration requirements established by the United States Postal Service) or a link to that information. For Recipients based in the EU, each email must additionally include the sender’s business registration number and VAT ID or a link to that information;
- n. Include "junk mail", "chain letters", "pyramid schemes", incentives (e.g., coupons, discounts, awards, or other incentives), or other material in any email that encourages a Recipient to forward the email to another recipient; or
- o. Fail to comply with export and import regulations for the U.S. and other countries.
-
- Some industries yield higher than normal abuse rates for Spam and unless you are using our dedicated email hosting packages, the Email Service may not be used for bulk email sending on behalf of certain industries and senders.
This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- i. pharmaceutical products;
- ii. work from home, make money online, “get rich schemes”, and lead generation opportunities;

- iv. mortgage and loan content;
- v. nutritional, herbal, and vitamin supplements;
- vi. gambling services, products, or tips;
- vii. multi-level marketing;
- viii. affiliate marketing or any type of performance marketing, in which a business rewards or otherwise incentivizes one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts;
- ix. credit repair and get out of debt opportunities; and
- x. counterfeit or “knock off” products appearing to be another brand.
- Some industries yield higher than normal abuse rates for Spam and unless you are using our dedicated email hosting packages, the Email Service may not be used for bulk email sending on behalf of certain industries and senders.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the Content you put in your emails does not violate these guidelines. Although Web Hosting Magic has no obligation to do so, we may monitor your account to ensure compliance with these Terms and operations within the acceptable industry standards. In our sole discretion, we reserve the right to block emails, remove Content, or prohibit the use of the Email Service that may be in violation of the foregoing or of the Terms (including SendGrid Terms).

In no case will the foregoing make us responsible or liable to you for compliance with any such laws or obligations, for which you remain solely responsible and liable.
If you know of or suspect any violations of these Terms, please notify Web Hosting Magic here. Web Hosting Magic will determine compliance with these Terms in its sole discretion and reserves the right, without notice, to take all measures of any nature (legal, technical, or otherwise) or prevent UCE and/or any other unauthorized email, messages, or campaigns from entering, utilizing or remaining within our network. We may terminate the Email Service and your Web Hosting Magic account at any time and for any reason. If your account is terminated, we may permanently delete it and any associated data.
In order to provide the Email Service, we currently use third-party API such as SendGrid and MailChannels; hence, your use of the Email Service is also governed by these third-parties terms and policies, as now effective and/or as may be effective in the future, including, without limitation, Twilio's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, MailChannels Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Web Hosting Magic is under no obligation to notify you of any changes to the SendGrid Terms. We may terminate any Third Party Service in our sole discretion at any time, without notice to you, with no liability to you or to the third party. Any such termination or any act by a Third Party Service may impact our ability to make available some or all of the features of the Email Service, and we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such actions.
We will obtain any information that you provide us in connection with your use of the Email Service, such as contact lists (including email addresses and any other information contained in such lists) and Content posted or used by you for the Email Service, or in any other manner. We acknowledge your ownership rights in such contact lists ("Customer Information") and Content.
We will never sell or rent your Customer Information or use your Customer Information for any purpose other than as described in our Privacy Notice and in these Terms. SendGrid may also use the Customer Information and other information provided by you as part of the Email Service.
You hereby grant to us a revocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, use, reproduce, publish, distribute, perform and display Customer Information, only as required by us to offer and operate the Email Service.

To the extent permitted by law, we may make and preserve copies of all Customer Information as necessary to provide the Email Service and for internal backup and other legal or regulatory purposes. However, we are not obligated to preserve copies of your Customer Information, emails, messages, Content, or other data. You are responsible for backing up your Customer Information.
We make no representation or warranty that the content and materials on our website and/or the Email Service are appropriate for use in locations outside the United States. Those who choose to access the Email Service from other locations do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. We reserve the right, at any time and in our sole discretion, to limit the availability, quantity, and accessibility of the Email Service to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction.
RATE LIMITING AND OTHER NECESSARY LIMITATIONS
Web Hosting Magic may, at its sole discretion, limit the volume of email messages you can deliver or receive through the Email Service and may rate limit or reject messages in order to control abuse. Any rejection of messages to control abuse will be at Web Hosting Magic’s sole discretion and Web Hosting Magic has no obligation to disclose to you its reasons for rejecting a message. Web Hosting Magic may limit email message volume by queuing your email messages internally, or by temporarily rejecting requests by you, your website or your application to send email through the Email Service. You are advised to obtain alternative email sending services to ensure you are continuously able to send email should the Email Services cause your email messages to be rate-limited at any time. You are further advised that nothing in this Agreement prevents you from obtaining additional email processing services from other providers at any time, nor does anything in this Agreement prohibit you from sending an email directly to recipients on the internet from mail servers hosted outside our platform.

29. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; CLASS WAIVER
We want to address your concerns or issues before filing a claim against Web Hosting Magic. So please contact us first to informally resolve the dispute. You or Web Hosting Magic may start a formal dispute resolution process ONLY if a dispute is not resolved within 30 days of your submission.
YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND YOU WILL NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (E.G., CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS).
Any claim relating to these Terms that is not resolved through our informal process, or as set forth below, will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") administered by the American Arbitration Association (ADR.ORG) according to this Section and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. The Arbitrator shall be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are enforceable, unconscionable or illusory, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you may elect to pursue your claim in your local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as your matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class or non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to a transaction intended for personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in the location currently listed as our office, or another mutually agreeable location. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the Arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s claim. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect in any other case or arbitration. Web Hosting Magic will reimburse the arbitration fees due to the American Arbitration Association for individual arbitrations brought in accordance with this section for all claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the Arbitrator determines that your claims were frivolous. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may seek to recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, we will not seek to have you pay our attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Web Hosting Magic also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Services. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases as discussed above) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts or federal court where we currently use as a business address.

Legal bases for use of your information & controls and choices
The laws in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and some other jurisdictions require us to provide Users, to the extent those laws apply to such Users, with the following information:
Legal grounds for use and disclosure of personal information
The legal grounds for use and disclosure of personal information include any of the below reasons:
- As necessary to perform our obligations under any contract with you or otherwise comply with the Web Hosting Magic Terms of Use.
- On the basis of consent, such as to send you certain information, including marketing communications, to share your information with partners when you have requested we do that, or to collect and process your information for research purposes or otherwise agreed.
- For our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others such as to ensure the security of our websites, operate and improve our business and our websites, respond to your questions, engage in certain marketing, make and receive payments, comply with our legal obligations, prevent fraud, conduct analysis, enforce our Terms, engage in a business change (e.g., sale, merger), to know the User to whom we are providing the Service, and to create anonymous data.
- To protect the vital interests of the individual or others. For example, we may collect or share personal data to help resolve an urgent technical situation.
Controls and choices
- In addition, Users in the European Economic Area and some other jurisdictions outside the United States have certain legal rights to obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal data about them, to access personal data we hold about them (including, in some cases, in portable form), and to obtain its correction, update, amendment or deletion in appropriate circumstances. They may also object to our uses or disclosures of personal data, request a restriction on its processing, or withdraw any consent, though such actions typically will not have a retroactive effect. They also will not affect our ability to continue processing data in lawful ways (for example, if you opt-out of the use of your telephone number for direct marketing, we might still decide to contact you by phone regarding potential fraud on your account).
- Users in the European Economic Area have the right to opt-out of all of our processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes. To exercise this right, you may contact us.
- The rights and options described above are subject to limitations and exceptions under applicable law. In situations in which we process personal data on behalf of our User, we may refer the request to the relevant User and cooperate with their handling of the request, subject to any special contractual arrangement with that User.
- In addition to these rights, Users in the European Economic Area have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our very best to resolve your concern.
How we protect your information and data retention
The security, integrity, and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures that are designed to protect User information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. We regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. However, please be aware that despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
We will retain your personal information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. To dispose of personal data, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
Data transfers, storage, and processing globally
We operate globally and may transfer your personal information to third parties in locations around the world for the purposes described in this privacy policy. Wherever your personal information is transferred, stored, or processed by us, we will take steps to safeguard the privacy of your personal information.
Privacy Shield
To bring you the services, we operate globally. Web Hosting Magic self-complies with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield principles (the “Principles”) regarding the collection, use, sharing, and retention of personal information from the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, as described in our EU-US Privacy Shield certification and Swiss-US Privacy Shield certification. If you have a Privacy Shield-related complaint, please contact us at compliance@webhostingmagic.com. As part of our participation in Privacy Shield, if you have a dispute with us concerning our adherence to the Principles, we will seek to resolve it through our internal complaint resolution process and under certain conditions, through the Privacy Shield arbitration process.
Residents of the European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland may elect to arbitrate unresolved complaints but prior to initiating such arbitration, you must: (1) contact us and afford us the opportunity to resolve the issue; (2) seek assistance from our designated independent recourse mechanism above; and (3) contact the U.S. Department of Commerce (either directly or through a European Data Protection Authority) and afford the Department of Commerce time to attempt to resolve the issue. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. Please be advised that, pursuant to the Privacy Shield, the arbitrator(s) may only impose individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to the individual.
Privacy Shield participants are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the US Federal Trade Commission and other authorized statutory bodies. Under certain circumstances, participants may be liable for the transfer of personal information from the EU, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to third parties outside the EU, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. As required under the principles, when we receive information under the Privacy Shield and then transfer it to a third-party service provider acting on our behalf, Web Hosting Magic has certain liability under the Privacy Shield if both (i) the agent processes the information in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield and (ii) we are responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
