We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites.

13. Data Security

The security of your personal data is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

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. We urge you to take care when providing information in public areas of the Site like message boards, which any Site visitor can view.

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 the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

If we learn we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected or received personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it.

 

15. Security and Retention of Your Information

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Services, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, or to enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

18. International Users

We operate globally and may transfer your personal information to other companies within our group or to approved partners in locations around the world. We want you to have the best service and customer experience, whether online or in person, all over the world. For this purpose, we may have to share your personal information outside the country where you first shared it with us. When we do so, it will always be for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and where we are satisfied with the levels of protection and security implemented in compliance with applicable privacy legislation. This sharing of your personal information is necessary to enable us to perform the contracts we have with you or take steps at your request, prior to entering into a contract, in order to offer you a global customer experience.

When we share, use, or transfer personal information outside the country in which the information is collected, we will put in place appropriate measures to legitimize such transfer under applicable privacy legislation, which may include, as applicable, obtaining your consent or implementing adequate contractual safeguards. In particular, if we transfer your personal information from the European Union or Switzerland to a country for which no adequation decision has been adopted by the relevant authorities, we use standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities (such as the European Commission).
