Transfer of your personal data

Your information, including personal data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other place where the parties involved in the processing are located.

Disclosure of your personal data

Business transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your personal data may be transferred. We will give you notice before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Law enforcement

In certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (for example, a court or a government agency).

Other legal requirements

The Company may disclose your personal data in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation;
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company;
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service;
  • Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or of the public;
  • Protect against legal liability.

Security of your personal data

The security of your personal data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children's privacy

Our Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from anyone under 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

If we need to rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your information and your country requires a parent's consent, we may require that consent before collecting and using the information.

Links to other websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
