HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE YOUR INFORMATION

Security. The security of your information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We have implemented appropriate technical, organizational and security measures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned. However, please note that we cannot guarantee that the information will not be exposed as a result of unauthorized penetration to our servers. Nevertheless, we make commercially reasonable efforts to make the collection and security of such information consistent with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws and regulations. As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer, device or network you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your user IDs and passwords, please make sure to take appropriate measures to protect this information. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Retention of your Personal Information. We will store your Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for us to adequately provide you with the services included in the Website and services, and for any additional purposes for which it was collected (for example, in order to respond to a query or complaint), as explained in this Privacy Policy.

In some circumstances we may store your Personal Information for longer periods of time, for example (i) where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements (e.g., if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), or (ii) for us to have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or (iii) if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Information or dealings, or (iv) to resolve disputes, or (v) to enforce our legal agreements and policies.

 

HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

To the extent reasonably necessary for the purpose of providing you with certain portions of the services in connection with our Website and/or our services, we will share some (or all) of your Personal Information with our current or future subsidiaries and affiliates, joint venture partners or other companies with whom we are under common control, providing such parties undertake to protect your privacy in at least the same manner as set out in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, we will share some (or all) of your Personal Information in the manner and for the purposes described below:

  • With third parties who help manage our business and deliver services (i.e., our subcontractors). These third parties have agreed to confidentiality restrictions, as well as complying with applicable privacy and data protection laws, and will use any Personal Information we share with them solely for the purpose of providing the contracted service(s) to us.
  • To the extent necessary, with regulators, to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules, and requests of law enforcement, regulatory and other governmental agencies or if required to do so by court order.

TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the U.S. and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Information, to the U.S. and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

When we transfer your Personal Information outside of the Company, for example to third parties who help provide our products and services, we will obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your Personal Information. Some of these assurances are well recognized certification schemes like the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield for the protection of Personal Information transferred from within the EU to the United States.

Where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we carefully validate these requests before any Personal Information is disclosed. 

The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Information will take place in an organization or country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
