Visiting the Site from outside the United States:
 
We store and process all personal information within the US.
 
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will typically be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Please be assured that we seek to take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is protected. If you are located outside United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal information, to United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
 
Users of the Site from the European Union ("EU"):
 
If your personal information is subject to General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), in the course of providing the Site to you, we may transfer your personal information outside of the EU, principally to our servers in the United States; this means that your personal information will not have the automatic protection of European data protection laws (including the GDPR) which apply in the EU. In these circumstances, in order to ensure that your personal information continues to have adequate protection when it is transferred outside the EU, your personal information will only be transferred on one of the following bases:
  1. Where the transfer is subject to one or more of the appropriate safeguards for international transfers prescribed by applicable law (for example, standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission);
  2. A European Commission decision provides that the country or territory to which the transfer is made ensures an adequate level of protection; or
  3. There exists another situation where the transfer is permitted under applicable law (for example, where we have your explicit consent).
 
You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal information when it is transferred outside the EU by contacting us using the details set out below.
 
How We Protect Your Person Information:
 
We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring, transmitting, storing and receiving your personal information.
 
Retention of Personal Information
 
We only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to perform a contract with you, comply with our legal obligations (e.g., if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
 
We will also retain usage data for internal analysis purposes. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of the Site, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
 
Changes to Privacy Policy
 
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice to you. If our personal information collection, use, and storage practices change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy on the Site with a new effective date. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted and become effective immediately. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy periodically.
