Is Your Information Transferred Internationally?

us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information
(see “WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?” above), in the United States, and other
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.
European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European
Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group
companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to
protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with
European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon
request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers
and partners and further details can be provided upon request.
What Is Our Stance on Third-Party Websites?
IN SHORT: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU SHARE WITH THIRD-PARTY
PROVIDERS WHO ADVERTISE, BUT ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH, OUR WEBSITE.
The Services may contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which
may link to other websites, online services or mobile applications. We cannot guarantee the safety
and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not
covered by this privacy notice. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security
practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services or applications that

PRIVACY NOTICE UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out
in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as
tax, accounting or other legal 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 is not possible (for example, because your
personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal
information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
IN SHORT: WE AIM TO PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH A SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND
TECHNICAL SECURITY MEASURES.
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 Services is
at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
What Are Your Privacy Rights?
IN SHORT: IN SOME REGIONS, SUCH AS THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA) AND UNITED KINGDOM (UK), YOU

In some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have certain rights under applicable data protection
laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal
information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your
personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may
also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a
request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in
accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If we are relying on your consent to
process your
personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however
that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect
the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other
than consent. If you are a resident in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing
your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection
supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here:

service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to
respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes. To otherwise opt-out, you may
access your account settings and update your preferences.
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.
