Consent to Personal Information Transfer

We are based in the United States. We may process, store, and transfer the Personal Information we collect, in and to a country outside your own, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as your own.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer information, including Personal Information, to the United States. By submitting your Personal Information or engaging with our Websites, you consent to this transfer, storing, or processing.

We 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 to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your Personal Information.

Information Security

The security of your Personal Information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. We store all Personal Information you provide to us behind firewalls on servers employing security protections. We encrypt any payment transactions and associated data using SSL and TLS technology.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to take care when providing information in public areas of the Website like message boards, which any Website visitor can view.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Data Retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. We specify the retention periods for your Personal Information in our document retention policy.

Children’s Online Privacy

We do not direct our Website to minors and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 or as defined by local legal requirements.
