We normally collect personal information only:

  • With your consent

  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information in the following situations:

  • Data analytics providers
  • Email delivery services
  • Hosting services
  • Customer service providers

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of company assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena.

Vital Interests and Protection

We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

Consent

We may share your information with your consent or at your direction.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

When we no longer need personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it. 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.

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about your California privacy rights, please see our California Privacy Notice.

Data Security

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.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable state statutes addressing security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on this website as promptly as possible, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the European Union. If you are accessing our website from outside the EU, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information, in the EU and other locations.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not have data protection or other laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law, including by entering into EU Standard Contractual Clauses which give personal data the same protection it has in the EU with any third parties that process personal data outside the EU.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 16 without verification of parental consent, we will promptly delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at [email protected].

Third-Party Websites

Our website 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.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors engage with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about website use and to report website trends to us. You can learn more about Google's practices by visiting Google's Privacy & Terms.
