EU Supplement

If you are an EU citizen and/or are accessing our website in the European Economic Area, then this EU Supplement may apply in addition to the above.

We collect and process personal information about you only where we have legal basis for doing so under applicable EU laws, including under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The legal bases depend on the Services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your personal information only where:

• we need it to provide you the Services;
• it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for our internal research and development, to market and promote the Services and to protect our legal rights and interests;
• you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or
• we need to process your personal information to comply with a legal obligation.

If you have consented to our use of personal information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your personal information because we or a third party (e.g., your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Service(s).

The personal information that you provide us is collected, transmitted, and/or stored in the United States, or elsewhere around the world, including locations outside of the country or jurisdiction where you are located, for processing consistent with the purposes above. We will implement appropriate contractual measures to ensure that the relevant third parties outside the European Economic Area provide an adequate level of protection to your personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy and as required by applicable law.

9. How We Protect Your Personal Information

To keep your personal information safe, we use physical, electronic, and managerial tools. We apply these tools based on the sensitivity of the personal information we collect, use, and store, and the current state of technology. We protect your personal information through technical and organizational security measures to minimize risks associated with data loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorize disclosure and alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. We cannot, therefore, guarantee its absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, our business, our Services, our data collection use and practices, or advances in technology. Our use of the personal information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such personal information is used. We will provide notice of such changes by updating the effective date listed on this Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to check this Privacy Policy frequently to view any amendments. Your continued interaction with us in the activities covered above will be subject to the then-current Privacy Policy.
