We may disclose your Personal Data to third parties in a variety of circumstances in the ordinary course of operating our business, such as:

  • Disclosure of Personal Data to persons authorized to process personal data, in our organization, or third-party service providers, qualified as data processors, providing us with services supporting our website and ordinary course of business, e.g. system, storage, and computing services, as well as marketing efforts, in accordance with applicable law;

9. Data Processing Location

Any transfer of data that originates in the European Union (“EU”) to a country outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), shall be made in compliance with the provisions of chapter 5 of the GDPR. Such transfer can be made to countries that are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied that alternative arrangements are in place to protect your privacy rights, e.g. signing a Standard Contractual Clauses which were published and authorized by the relevant EU authorities.

10. Links To Other Sites

11. How We Secure Your Information

We are committed to protecting the security of your Personal Data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access and use. However, the collection, transmission, and storage of information can never be guaranteed to be completely secure. Yet, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security safeguards are in place to protect your information, and we will continue to revise our policies and implement additional security features.

12. Storage Of Personal Data

We will only store your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We have defined data retention periods for any data item in our systems, ensuring the minimization of retention periods.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may save and use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

13. Data Subjects’ Rights Under EU Data Protection Laws And The CCPA

Under EU law, EU residents and individuals, have certain rights to apply to us to provide information or make amendments to how we process data relating to them. Similarly, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents have similar rights. Those rights might include:

  • right to access your Personal Data – you can ask us to confirm whether or not we have and use your Personal Data, and if so, you can ask for a copy of your data;
  • right to correct your Personal Data – you can ask us to correct any of your Personal Data that is incorrect, after verifying the accuracy of the data first;
  • right to erase your Personal Data – you can ask us to erase your Personal Data if you think we no longer need to use it for the purpose we collected it from you. You can also ask for such erasure in any case in which the process of your data was based on your consent, or where we have used it unlawfully, or where we are subject to a legal obligation to erase your Personal Data. Any request for such erasure will be subject to our obligations under applicable laws (e.g. our obligation to keep certain records for tax or customs purposes);
  • right to restrict our use in your Personal Data – you can ask us to restrict our use of your Personal Data in certain circumstances;
  • right to object to how we use your Personal Data – you can object to any use of your Personal Data which we have justified by our legitimate interest if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms to data protection outweigh our legitimate interest in using the information;
  • you can always require us to refrain from using your data for direct marketing purposes;
  • you can ask us to transfer your information to another organization and/or provide you with a copy of your Personal Data (Portability Right);
  • You have the right to lodge a complaint at any time before the relevant supervisory authority for data protection issues. However, we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the authorities, so please feel free to contact us first.

We may not always be able to do what you have asked in terms of certain requests. In addition, not all of those rights apply in every jurisdiction. For example, if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are otherwise legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way. In addition, the Portability Right doesn’t apply under the CCPA. So we will not always be able or obliged to provide you with those rights. However, we encourage you to contact us with any such request, and we will be happy to assist you.

14. Special Notification For California Residents

We do not sell your personal information for the intents and purposes of the CCPA. We can use your personal data for our purposes, but only as described above or after the de-identification or anonymization of such data, including aggregate data which can no longer be associated with you.

15. Changes To This Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to change this Statement from time to time at our sole discretion and without notice to you. If we make any changes, we will post any new statement so that you can see what information we gather, how we might use that information, and in what circumstances we may disclose it. By continuing to use our site or our services or otherwise provide data after we post any such changes, you accept and agree to this statement as modified.
