Our goal is to provide you with a personalized online experience that provides you with the information, resources, and services that are most relevant and helpful to you.</p> <p>This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) has been written to describe the privacy-related terms and conditions under which PCI Security Standards Council (“PCI SSC”, “we”, “us” or “our”) makes its web sites, web pages, domains, portals, registries, mobile apps, other events and online resources, and corresponding materials (collectively, the “Web site”) available to you, including but not limited to resources used to provide or in connection with our online meetings, events and other services.</p> <p>The Privacy Policy discusses, among other things, how data obtained in connection with your use of the Web site may be collected and used. We strongly recommend that you read the Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Web site, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Privacy Policy (including its appendices, which are hereby incorporated into the Privacy Policy). If you do not accept the terms of the Privacy Policy, you are directed to discontinue accessing or otherwise using the Web site. If you are dissatisfied with the Web site, please feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:dataprivacy@pcisecuritystandards.org">dataprivacy@pcisecuritystandards.org</a></p> <p>The process of maintaining the Web site is an evolving one, and we may modify the terms of this Privacy Policy without notice. Your continued use of the Web site after such change indicates your assent to the modified terms as of the effective date of the change. The effective Privacy Policy will be posted on the Web site, and you should check upon every visit for any changes.</p> <p><strong>1. Sites and Resources Covered by this Privacy Policy</strong></p> <p>This Privacy Policy applies to all PCI SSC web sites, web pages, domains, portals, registries, mobile apps, and other online resources, including but not limited to resources used to provide or in connection with our online meetings and events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may from time to time require users of specific web pages, portals, or resources to agree to corresponding additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”), and such Additional Terms shall govern to the extent necessary to resolve any express conflicts with this Privacy Policy.</p> <p><strong>2. Children’s Privacy</strong></p> <p>We are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. We do not intentionally collect information from children under the age of 13, and do not target the Web site to children.</p> <p><strong>3. Links to Non-PCI Security Standards Council Web Sites</strong></p> <p>The Web site may provide links to third-party web sites or mobile apps for the convenience of our users. If you access those links or apps, you will leave our Web site. We do not control these third-party web sites and apps and cannot represent that their policies and practices will be consistent with this Privacy Policy. For example, other web sites or mobile apps may collect or use personal information about you in a manner different from that described in this document. Therefore, you should use other web sites and mobile apps with caution, and you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any web site or mobile app before submitting personal information.</p> <p><strong>4. Types of Information We Collect</strong></p> <p><strong>Non-Personal Information</strong></p> <p>Non-personal information is data about usage and service operation that is not directly associated with a specific personal identity. We may collect and analyze non-personal information to evaluate how users use the Web site.</p> <p><strong>Aggregate Information</strong></p> <p>We may gather aggregate information, which refers to information your computer automatically provides to us and which cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples include referral data (the web sites you visited just before our Web site), the pages viewed, and time spent at our Web site. You may control the non-essential information we collect by utilizing the cookie control settings that appear when you first access the Web site, and that is accessible via controls visible on every page of our Web site.</p> <p><strong>Logs</strong></p> <p>Every time you request or download a file from the Web site, we may store data about these events and your IP address in a log. We may use this information to analyze trends, administer the Web site, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use or for other business purposes.</p> <p><strong>Cookies</strong></p> <p>Our Web site may use a feature of your browser to set a “cookie” on your computer. Cookies are small packets of information that a Web site’s computer stores on your computer. The Web site can then read the cookies whenever you visit. We may use cookies in a number of ways, such as to save information so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, to deliver content specific to your interests and to track the pages you’ve visited. These cookies allow us to use the information we collect to customize your Web site experience so that your visit to our site is as relevant and as valuable to you as possible.</p> <p>For additional information regarding cookies and how we use them, please review our Cookie Notice at Appendix A hereto.</p> <p><strong>Personal Data</strong></p> <p>“Personal Data” is information that is associated with your personal identity and may include your name or other personal information that can be used to uniquely identify you as an individual. In general, we use Personal Data to better understand your needs and interests and to provide you with better service. The specific uses for Personal Data that we collect are described when or on the pages where such data is collected. The types of Personal Data you provide to us through the Web site may include name, address, phone number, email address, user IDs, passwords, IP address, and billing information. Providing this information may be required or requested in order to enable you to request and/or download information or materials, subscribe to mailing lists, participate in corresponding online or in person discussions or events, collaborate on documents, provide feedback, submit information into registries, register for or participate in programs, meetings or events, apply for participation or membership, or join technical committees, working groups or initiatives. We collect this information so we can contact you or send you requested materials (such as with requested documents or subscriptions to mailing lists), enable participation in corresponding events and activities, and to identify you to us or others (such as in applications to register for or participate in meetings or events or join committees, to participate in programs or online discussions, or to download materials from the Website and execute corresponding licenses), and to bill you for requested services or materials. You may always elect not to provide your Personal Data to us, but that will limit your ability to participate in these activities or benefit from these services. </p> <p>Personal Data will not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purpose (s) for which it was collected, and in general, we will retain Personal Data for a period of 3 years, or if you have any qualification or contractual relationship with us, for a period of 3 years after cessation of that qualification or relationship. In some cases it is not possible for us to specify in advance the periods for which your Personal Data will be retained. Notwithstanding this, we may retain, process and use your Personal Data where such is necessary for compliance with a legal or contractual obligation to which we are subject, in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person, or for other applicable legitimate interests.</p> <p><strong>5. Restricted Web Sites and Portals</strong></p> <p>Information you provide in connection with applying for participation or membership may be used to create a corresponding participant or member profile, or enable participation in corresponding activities, and may be shared with other PCI SSC member or participant representatives and organizations. Such information may be provided to other participants or members securely to encourage and facilitate collaboration, online discussion, research, and the free exchange of information. PCI SSC participants and members automatically are added to applicable PCI SSC mailing lists. From time to time, participant and member information may be shared with event organizers and/or other organizations that provide additional benefits to our participants or members. When you provide us with your personal information in connection with events PCI SSC is organizing or hosting, we use that data to comply with our contractual obligations to event organizers and other parties in connection with those events. Where appropriate, we also expressly obtain your consent at the time of its collection.</p> <p><strong>6. Meetings and Events</strong></p> <p>Information you provide in connection with events or initiatives or registering for events or initiatives, such as our Community Meetings, Town Halls, Work Groups, Task Forces, Special Interest Groups, requests for comments, and similar events and initiatives, whether held in person or online, may include name, email address, company name, and company type. This information is used to comply with our contractual obligations to the event or initiative organizers or operators and other parties in connection with those events and initiatives, including to operate such events and facilitate your participation, and may be used and shared with our contractors or other event participants for such purpose and as described under “Restricted Web Sites and Portals” above. Additionally, at the time you provide us with such information, we will where appropriate request your consent to our storing, processing, distributing, and use of such data for the purposes for which it is being provided. In connection with such events, we may also request additional information such as address, company affiliate, number of company employees, and other company information, which may be used for marketing purposes, and may be distributed to event sponsors. Consent to such use of such additional information is requested at the time the information is collected. All information collected in connection with such events is retained in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Privacy Policy.</p> <p><strong>7. Company Information</strong></p> <p>Company information is information that is associated with the name and address of our participant, member and other stakeholder or user organizations and may include data about usage and service operation. The primary representative of any such organization may request limited usage reports to gauge the extent of their employees’ involvement in our activities. You should be aware that information regarding your participation in technical committees, working groups, and online discussions and events, for example, may be made available to your company’s primary representative and to PCI SSC staff members.</p> <p><strong>8. How We Use Your Information</strong></p> <p>We may use non-personal data that is aggregated for reporting about the Web site activity, usability, performance, effectiveness, or participation. It may be used to improve the experience, usability, and content of the Web site or future activities.</p> <p>We may use personal information to offer or provide services that support our activities or those of our participants, members, stakeholders or other users, and their collaboration with us, or to provide you with electronic newsletters, announcements, surveys or other information. When accessing restricted PCI SSC Web pages, portals or activities, your personal user information may be used or tracked in order to support collaboration, ensure authorized access, and enable communication among participants or members.</p> <p><strong>9. Information Sharing</strong></p> <p>We do not sell, rent, or lease any individual’s personal information or lists of email addresses to any third parties for marketing purposes, and we take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the security of this information. We will not do any of the foregoing in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out or opt-in, as required by law. Similarly, we do not offer financial incentives associated with our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. However, we reserve the right to supply any such information to any organization into which PCI SSC may merge in the future or to which it may make any transfer in order to enable a third party to continue part or all of our mission or activities. We also reserve the right to release personal information to protect our systems or business, if we reasonably believe you to be in violation of applicable terms of use, or if we reasonably believe you to have initiated or participated in any illegal activity. In addition, please be aware that in certain circumstances, we may be obligated to release your personal information pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or other orders.</p> <p>In keeping with our open process, we may maintain publicly accessible archives for the vast majority of our activities. For example, posting an email message to any PCI SSC-hosted mail list or discussion forum, providing request for comment feedback, or registering for one of our public or other meetings may result in your personal information becoming part of corresponding publicly accessible archives.</p> <p>If you are a PCI Security Standards Council participant or member, you should be aware that some items of your personal information may be visible to other such participants and members, and to the public. Our participant and member databases may retain information about your name, email address, company affiliation and such other personal address, identifying data, and any previously-supplied such data, as you choose to supply. That data may be generally visible to other such participants or members, and to the public. Your name, email address, and other information you may supply also may be included in publicly accessible records of our various committees, working groups, online events and discussions, and similar activities that you join, in various places, including: (i) the permanently-posted attendance and other records of those activities; (ii) documents generated by the activity, which may be permanently archived; and, (iii) along with message content, in the permanent archives of our email lists, which also may be public.<br /> Please remember that any information (including personal information) that you disclose in public areas of the Web site or in connection with public or broad participation activities, such as forums (in person or online), message boards, news groups, and other activities, may become publicly or broadly available information that others may collect, circulate, and use. Because we cannot and do not control the acts of others, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose information about yourself or others in forums or other activities such as these.</p> <p>Given the international scope of the PCI Security Standards Council, personal information may be visible to persons outside your country of residence, including to persons in countries that your own country’s privacy laws and regulations deem deficient in ensuring an adequate level of protection for such information. If you are unsure whether this Privacy Policy is in conflict with applicable local rules, you should not submit your information.</p> <p>Your Personal Data will never be used for direct marketing purposes, although we may contact you to follow up on a request you made for information about a service, event or activity we provide.</p> <p>If you do not want your personal information collected and used by the PCI Security Standards Council, please do not visit or use our Web site, apply for participant or member status, or engage in PCI SSC activities</p> <p><strong>10. Access to and Accuracy of Information</strong></p> <p>We are committed to keeping the personal information of our participating and member organizations and other Web site users accurate. All the information you have submitted to us can be verified, changed and deleted (consistent with legal data retention requirements). In order to do this, please email us a request at <a href="mailto:dataprivacy@pcisecuritystandards.org">dataprivacy@pcisecuritystandards.org</a><a href="mailto:info@pcisecuritystandards.org">. </a>We may provide participants, members and/or others with online access to their own personal profiles, enabling them to update or delete information at any time. To protect your privacy and security, we also may take reasonable steps to verify identity, such as requiring a user ID and password, before access to modify personal profile data. Certain areas of the Web site may limit access to specific individuals through the use of passwords or other personal identifiers; a password prompt is your indication that a restricted resource is being accessed.</p> <p><strong>11. Security</strong></p> <p>We use a variety of means to protect personal information provided by users of the Web site, including using firewalls and other security measures on its servers. No server, however, is 100% secure, and you should take this into account when submitting personal or confidential information about yourself or others on the Web site or elsewhere. Much of the personal information we collect is used in conjunction with participation and/or member-level services such as collaboration and discussion, so some types of personal information such as your name, company affiliation, and email address will be visible to other PCI Security Standards Council participants or members, and to the public. We assume no liability for the interception, alteration, use or misuse of the information you provide. You alone are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please use care when you access the Web site and otherwise provide personal information.</p> <p><strong>12. Opting Out</strong></p> <p>From time to time we may email you electronic newsletters, announcements, surveys or other information. If you prefer not to receive any or all of these communications, you may opt out by following the directions provided within the electronic newsletters and announcements.</p> <p><strong>13. California Privacy Rights</strong></p> <p>Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act (“CPRA”), and other California privacy laws, California residents have certain rights relating to collection, use, and sharing of their personal information for companies that meet applicable requirements. For example, if you are a resident of California, you have the right to request to know what personal information we have collected about you, and to access that information. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, though exceptions under the law may allow us to retain and use certain personal information notwithstanding your deletion request. For additional information regarding such rights and laws, please review our Privacy Notice for California Residents at Appendix B hereto.</p> <p><strong>14. Data Privacy Laws</strong></p> <p>Depending on the state, country or region where you are located or reside (your “Jurisdiction”), you may have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or other laws of your Jurisdiction relating to the privacy and protection of Personal Data, in addition to those described in this Privacy Policy. Personal Data you provide on or through the Web site or otherwise in connection with our activities is only collected with your consent or to comply with our contractual obligations, and may be transmitted outside of the your Jurisdiction to the PCI Security Standards Council (or computer servers maintained for the benefit of the PCI Security Standards Council) pursuant to that consent.</p> <p>In general, under the GDPR, if you live in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or the United Kingdom, you may:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>request access to your Personal Data</li> <li>have incomplete or incorrect Personal Data corrected</li> <li>have your Personal Data deleted</li> <li>suspend or restrict our use of your Personal Data, or withdraw your consent, and if that request is not respected, then to object</li> <li>request a copy of your Personal Data</li> <li>complain to a supervisory authority if you believe your rights under the GDPR are not being respected</li> <li>request to refuse automated decision-making of your personal data to make decisions about you, if such decision-making significantly affects you or produces legal effects</li> </ul> <p>Should you request a copy of your Personal Data, we will provide you a copy. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee. Should you request the deletion of your Personal Data, PCI Security Standards Council will generally do so as soon as practicable, although your right to have your Personal Data deleted is subject to exceptions, such as, for example, compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. </p> <p>If you consider that our processing of your Personal Data infringes applicable data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the UK or EEA member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.</p> <p>You should note that our servers are located in the United States, which is deemed by the European Union to have inadequate data protection. Accordingly, when you provide information to us through the Web site, you are providing that information to us in the United States. You should also note that, if you are in a country outside the United States (including but not limited to in the UK or EEA), your Personal Data may be transferred to and/or collected, stored, processed, and/or used outside of your country, including in the United States. By way of example, this may happen if Personal Data of an individual in the UK or EEA is transferred to our servers located in the United States or in another country outside of the UK or EEA. Such countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK or EEA or your country. If we transfer your information outside of the UK or EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this policy, including the following:</p> <ul> <li><a name="OLE_LINK1"></a>Data sent to our Website or Portal is protected by TLS and strong cryptographic algorithms when transmitted across open, public networks;</li> <li>Data at rest on our Website or Portal is protected by full disk encryption and strong access controls.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable user request’s receipt.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.<br /> <br /> We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable user request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.<br /> <br /> Separate from the CCPA and CPRA, California’s Shine the Light law gives California residents the right to ask companies what Personal Information they share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you request such disclosure. Also, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers who are California residents and who have provided us with “personal information” (as that term is defined in Section 1798.83) to request certain information about the disclosure of that information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Antitrust Statements. A statement regarding antitrust laws and compliance should be presented at the beginning of applicable PCI SSC Activities.</p> <p>3. Certain topics should never be discussed at, or in connection with, any PCI SSC Activity, nor should any participant in PCI SSC Activities (each an “Activity Participant”) ever form an agreement with any other competitor in connection with these topics. In particular, DO NOT, at any time, agree upon or discuss with any competitor any of the following:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Current or future prices, methods of determining or implementing prices, or strategies relating to pricing</li> <li>Price or cost related information (e.g., price changes, quotations, policies, levels, differentials, markups, discounts, or allowances, delivery charges, credit or warranty policies, or other conditions of sale)</li> <li>Output, capacity, inventory levels</li> <li>Current or future business plans, strategies, innovations</li> <li>Compensation and benefits of employees</li> <li>Current or future sales conditions or volumes</li> <li>Levels of investment or development, changes to such levels, or related strategies</li> <li>Current or future design or marketing strategies</li> <li>Customer and competitor details such as names, type, importance</li> <li>How much or little an Activity Participant is capable of producing or will sell of any product or service</li> <li>Whether an Activity Participant has submitted a bid, or will or will not bid, in any given situation</li> <li>Where any Activity Participant will or will not sell any product or service</li> <li>Whether any Activity Participant will or will not deal with any third party</li> <li>The terms upon which an Activity Participant will make any intellectual property rights available, except to the extent permitted or required under the PCI SSC IPR Policy</li> </ul> <p>If you become aware of any activity that may be in violation of any of the above rules, please bring them promptly to the attention of a PCI SSC representative.</p> <p>For more information regarding Antitrust Laws, please see the PCI SSC Antitrust Compliance Guidelines.</p> <p>PCI SSC Antitrust Compliance Guidelines</p> <p>These guidelines are provided by the PCI Security Standards Council, LLC (“PCI SSC”) and are intended for annual distribution to all participants in PCI SSC meetings, activities and other forms of PCI SSC participation (“Activity Participants”), including without limitation, all PCI Participants, and all participants in PCI SSC’s Executive Committee, other Committees, Board of Advisors, Working Groups, Special Interest Groups and Task Forces.</p> <p>It is the policy of PCI SSC to require that all PCI SSC meetings, activities and other forms of participation (“PCI SSC Activities”) be conducted in accordance with U.S. federal and state antitrust laws, and with applicable foreign antitrust and competition laws. While the existence of organizations such as PCI SSC is recognized by antitrust regulators as being beneficial to industry and consumers alike, there are activities which are not permissible for Activity Participants to engage in, and which are not endorsed or authorized by PCI SSC. The objective of these guidelines is to enhance Activity Participant awareness of inappropriate conduct.</p> <p>These Antitrust Compliance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) are intended to help familiarize you with areas of U.S. law that you should know about in order to maintain compliance with U.S. antitrust laws. However, these Guidelines provide a general guide only; they are not intended to be a complete or definitive statement of all aspects of U.S. antitrust law, nor does it advise you with respect to the antitrust laws of other countries, which on a country-by-country basis can vary significantly. Although PCI SSC Activities are subject to the antitrust laws of all countries where PCI SSC may be active, a worldwide review of international antitrust laws is beyond the scope of these Guidelines. For this reason, these Guidelines should be viewed as being not only selective with respect to U.S. law, but also as an unreliable and inadequate guide to antitrust issues in any other country. Each Activity Participant must make its own decisions how and where it adopts and supports PCI SSC standards around the world. These decisions may lead to different risks, and therefore to different precautions and practices being appropriate to consider from Activity Participant to Activity Participant.</p> <p>For these reasons, each Activity Participant should seek advice from its own antitrust counsel and consult with that counsel as necessary or appropriate in connection with participation in PCI SSC Activities. Any specific question relating to antitrust compliance not addressed in these Guidelines should be referred to legal counsel for PCI SSC or to the Activity Participant’s antitrust counsel. An Activity Participant’s failure to consult with antitrust counsel may be injurious to the Activity Participant and/or to PCI SSC. For additional information on the applicability of antitrust laws to trade association activities, please see the Laws, Cases and Regulations section of ConsortiumInfo.org, a consortium information website created by our legal counsel, Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which prepared these Guidelines.</p> <p>I. <strong><u>The Antitrust Laws</u></strong></p> <p>Broadly stated, the basic objective of the U.S. antitrust laws is to preserve and promote competition and the free enterprise system. These U.S. laws are premised on the assumption that private enterprise and free competition are the most efficient ways to allocate resources, to produce goods at the lowest possible price and to assure the production of high-quality products. These U.S. laws generally require that business people make independent business decisions without consultation or agreement with competitors. The success of PCI SSC requires that free and open competition be adhered to as the policy of PCI SSC and that this policy be followed by all Activity Participants.</p> <p>PCI SSC’s insistence upon full compliance with the antitrust laws is based not solely on the desire to stay within the bounds of the law, but also on PCI SSC’s conviction that the preservation of a free, competitive marketplace is essential to the welfare of the industry and PCI SSC.</p> <p>(a) <u>Antitrust Laws Applicable to Activities of Associations</u></p> <p>The U.S. antitrust statutes of principal concern to companies and individuals that take part in trade association activities are Section 1 of the Sherman Act and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) Act. These laws make illegal all contracts, combinations, and conspiracies which are deemed to be in restraint of trade.</p> <p>Broadly speaking, the courts have interpreted these laws as prohibiting those agreements, contracts and combinations that have the effect of unreasonably restraining trade. With some exceptions, a court considering an antitrust claim will examine all the facts and circumstances surrounding the conduct in question in order to ascertain whether the contract or combination is in violation of the law by restraining trade unreasonably.</p> <p>Some activities are, however, regarded as unreasonable by their very nature and are, therefore, considered illegal “per se,” meaning that they are illegal regardless of any rationale or mitigating factors asserted by the actors. Companies and individuals are conclusively presumed to engage in these activities for no other purpose than to restrain trade. Practices within the per se category include agreements among competitors to fix prices, agreements to boycott competitors, suppliers or customers; agreements to rig bids; agreements among competitors to allocate markets or limit production; and certain tie-in sales. A tie-in sale is one in which the customer is required to purchase an additional item in order to purchase the product or service desired.</p> <p>The legality of activities of PCI SSC and its Activity Participants under the antitrust laws will be determined by the application of standards no different from those used to determine the legality of the activities of other groups of persons or firms.</p> <p>(b) <u>Penalties for Violations</u></p> <p>The U.S. antitrust laws are enforced at the Federal level by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Competition of the Federal Trade Commission.</p> <p>A criminal conviction for an antitrust law violation may result in stiff fines for PCI SSC and its Activity Participants, jail sentences for individuals (including an individual acting in his or her capacity as a corporate employee or officer) who participated in the violation, and a court order disbanding PCI SSC or severely limiting its activities. In the past, several foreign nationals have been sentenced to serve jail time in the U.S., and corporations convicted of such a criminal offense have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars.<br /> In addition, private persons or firms may sue for damages under the Federal laws and a company found liable may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages suffered by the plaintiff, as well as all of the plaintiff’s costs of litigation and attorneys’ fees.<br /> Finally, State court actions may be brought by U.S. State attorneys-general or injured parties.</p> <p>II. <strong><u>Detailed Discussion</u></strong></p> <p>(a) <u>Standard Setting Activities</u></p> <p><em>1. Generally</em></p> <p>Standard setting is recognized as being potentially “pro-competitive” in the U.S. Nevertheless, great care must be taken in the setting of standards. When participants of a standards setting body submit or vote on technology or specifications, there is the potential for one company, or a group of companies, to act in ways deemed to be unfair to other companies. </p> <p>In the last several years, additional lawsuits have been brought by private parties, and enforcement actions and investigations have been brought by regulators in the United States and in Europe, that have been based upon standards-development behavior. Several of these cases, actions and investigations have focused on the behavior of individual companies, and on whether standards development participants have honored the licensing obligations that they, or prior owners of patents, have made to standards development organizations.</p> <p>In light of the foregoing, it is important that standard setting, and other collaborative activities be conducted under close legal supervision, and that policies and procedures created to administer such processes be scrutinized to ensure that they do not lend themselves to situations which could result in antitrust exposure. This is the policy of PCI SSC.</p> <p><em>2. <u>Specific Standard Setting Activities</u></em></p> <p>There are a variety of activities that are commonly conducted within standards development organizations that have acknowledged pro-competitive benefits, but which must be conducted in an appropriate fashion to avoid inadvertent violations of law. They include:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Disclosures of patent claims and the making of licensing commitments: This common activity must be conducted within well-acknowledged and easily followed guidelines that preclude, for example, the negotiation of the prices upon which patents will be licensed, but require that such licenses will be available on “reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. “Creation and management of product and service certification programs to demonstrate conformity to standards: Activity Participants should not discuss whether and how to enforce, or incentivize, compliance with a standard or whether exceptions will be granted. To the extent, Activity Participants independently choose to comply with a standard, certification programs must be available to all, and conducted in a non-discriminatory fashion.</li> <li>Participation by trade association members and rules relating to the expulsion of participants for cause: Participation must be available to all that qualify under objective standards on a non-discriminatory basis and any rules relating to expulsion or rejection of membership renewals must be reasonable and applied in a non-discriminatory fashion. PCI SSC has agreed to permit participation based on the applicable objective criteria for each category of Activity Participant (e.g. Founding Member, Strategic Member, Affiliate Member, or PCI Participant), and applies these criteria on a non-discriminatory basis.</li> <li>Honoring licensing obligations under IPR Policies: Activity Participants may only assert patent infringement with respect to technology approved or adopted by the organization in accordance with a participant’s obligation under the organization’s policies, and/or the participant’s disclosures and statements during the development process.</li> <li>Joint purchasing: Joint purchasing activities by or with members may be acceptable but should be reviewed in advance by counsel.</li> </ul> <p>The Executive Committee will consult with legal counsel to ensure that the proper guidelines are followed with respect to each of the above areas.</p> <p>(b) <u>Antitrust Problem Areas</u></p> <p>From a practical standpoint, Activity Participants should take care to avoid the following principal antitrust problem areas:</p> <p><em>1. <u>Price-Fixing</u></em></p> <p>Experience shows that trade association participants may be susceptible to violations of price-fixing prohibitions of the Sherman Act, and for this reason, the government is focused on the activities of these types of entities. Price fixing, as noted above, is illegal per se.</p> <p>Trade association meetings (including committee meetings) may be considered by enforcement agencies as convenient places for price-fixing discussions. Whenever competitors get together, it is natural for them to discuss common problems, and, unless care is taken, the discussion could turn to price. This is even truer at informal meetings before or after a trade association meeting, when participants get together socially.</p> <p>To avoid the risk of liability, Activity Participants should never discuss prices, pricing systems, discounts, commission rates, employee salary information, or the like, nor should PCI SSC ever be involved in Activity Participants’ pricing practices.</p> <p>A formal agreement is not necessary for a finding of antitrust liability. Antitrust cases often are proven by circumstantial rather than direct evidence. Although there may be perfectly innocent explanations for business conduct, antitrust enforcement agencies, judges or juries may interpret contacts with competitors followed by similarity in conduct as circumstantial evidence of an “agreement.” It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to avoid any discussions or other conduct with competitors that might support an inference of illegal agreement. That means an Activity Participant’s relations with competitors should always be conducted as if the parties are at all times in the public view.</p> <p>Activity Participants should also be aware that the antitrust prohibition on price-fixing is extremely broad. The Sherman Act itself defines price-fixing as any “combination” formed for the purpose and with the effect of raising, depressing, fixing, pegging or stabilizing “prices.”</p> <p>Competitors violate this law if, for example, they:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Agree on a range of prices within which purchases, or sales may be made;</li> <li>Agree that prices charged or paid are to fall within any sort of formula;</li> <li>Agree to fix or stop giving discounts;</li> <li>Agree to increase or limit supply; or</li> <li>Agree on the compensation, benefits, or commission rates they will pay employees.</li> </ul> <p>Because price-fixing is illegal per se, it is not a defense that the prices set are reasonable. Nor is it necessarily a defense that competitors fixed maximum prices, rather than minimum prices.</p> <p>Although the discussion thus far has focused on so-called “horizontal” price fixing — that is, agreements among competitors selling the same or similar products — it also may be illegal to engage in “vertical” price fixing: an agreement to fix the price at which a purchaser will resell a product. Where a product is sold for resale, the seller is permitted to suggest resale prices to customers, but any agreement, whether formal or informal, express or implied, should always be reviewed in advance by legal counsel.</p> <p>For all of the reasons above, Activity Participants should assume that no mention of prices, or price related business terms, should occur in the course of PCI SSC Activities unless the topic, scope and purpose of the discussion has been cleared in advance with PCI SSC legal counsel, and appropriate controls have been put in place if the discussion is permitted to occur at all.</p> <p><em>2. <u>Agreements To Allocate Markets</u></em></p> <p>An agreement among participants of a trade association to allocate markets or customers may be, in and of itself, an antitrust violation. The antitrust laws expressly prohibit any understanding or agreement between competitors or participants of an association involving division or allocation of geographic markets or customers, or an agreement to divide sales by product type. Even an informal agreement whereby one participant agrees to stay out of another’s territory could constitute a violation of the antitrust laws.</p> <p><em>3. <u>Exclusive Selling and Dealing</u></em></p> <p>An exclusive selling agreement involves the appointment of a sole distributor for the supplier’s product for a defined territory over a defined period of time, usually with the understanding that the supplier will not make separate deliveries or sales of his own into the distributor’s territory. The appointment of an exclusive distributor is generally considered to be legal, but counsel should be consulted if considering such an approach.</p> <p>Exclusive dealing is an agreement where the purchaser agrees to buy exclusively from one supplier for a certain period of time.<br /> A seller’s exclusive dealing contract may be unlawful where it covers a substantial dollar volume or forecloses a substantial market share to competitors. However, where there is a significant amount of competition from other companies that is not impacted by the exclusivity, it is less likely that an exclusive dealing agreement will be deemed illegal. Again, prior legal review of such arrangements is required.</p> <p><em>4. <u>Tying Arrangements</u></em></p> <p>Tying is the practice whereby a seller refuses to sell the desired product or service (the tying item) to a customer unless the customer also agrees to buy a second product or service from the seller.</p> <p>Tying arrangements may be illegal if the supplier occupies a dominant position in the market for the tying item or if the uniqueness of the tying item bars other sellers from producing an equivalent product.</p> <p><em>5. <u>Concerted Refusals to Deal</u></em></p> <p>Activity Participants should avoid participating in “concerted” refusals to “deal,” more commonly known as boycotts. Activity Participants should be careful not to make agreements that in effect result in the exclusion of a competitor from a market or a competitive activity. For example, an agreement among two or more Activity Participants of PCI SSC to no longer buy from (or sell to) a particular supplier or distributor, or to work with a particular third party service provider, might constitute such a boycott. To avoid this risk, Activity Participants should avoid any discussion of or joint conduct that involves the refusal to deal with a particular supplier or customer.</p> <p>PCI SSC itself, as a group of competitors and by virtue of the nature of its work, is at risk of falling into activities that might be challenged as a boycott. For this reason, counsel must have the opportunity to review any proposed changes to participation rules and any proposed rules that might disadvantage those who are not Activity Participants.</p> <p><em>6. <u>Price Discrimination</u></em></p> <p>Price discrimination occurs when identical products are sold at different prices to different purchasers. It may be unlawful to discriminate in price between different purchasers of goods of like grade and quality where such goods are sold for use, consumption, or resale within the U.S. if the discrimination substantially lessens competition. However, price differences based on certain factors, such as a variance in costs, quantity discounts, prompt payment, or shipment fees generally are acceptable and do not violate the antitrust laws.</p> <p>If you have questions regarding any of these matters, contact your company antitrust counsel, or if you are a PCI SSC member, please contact Andrew Updegrove, of the firm of Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to PCI SSC, at andrew.updegrove@gesmer.com.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cff1fbd privacy-content elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="cff1fbd" data-element_type="section" id="ipr" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c4974e0" data-id="c4974e0" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-52ecc4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="52ecc4b" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">PCI Security Standards Council Intellectual Property Rights Policy</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-01442f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="01442f2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-82f10fa editor_custom_styles elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="82f10fa" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><strong>Last Updated: </strong>18 January 2023</p> <p><strong>1.
