transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those
third parties with whom we may share your personal information(see "WILL YOUR

countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom
(UK), then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or
other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however
take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in
accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.

We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including
by using the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers

third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all
personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in

appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners

requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your
personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have
an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this

stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal
information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is
possible.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures
designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.
However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no
electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that
hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able
to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your
information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal
information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is
at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure
environment.

requests, or for other non-marketing purposes. To otherwise opt-out, you
may:

Controls For Do-not-track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications
include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal
your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing
activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology
standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As
such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other
mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked
online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in
the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of
this privacy notice.
