We may transfer your personal data to countries other than the country in which you are resident. If we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area to a country outside the EEA, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the recipient provides an adequate level of data protection, such as implementing standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, 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 site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

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

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
