Legal Bases for Processing
We will process your personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so.
We process your personal data for the following legal bases:
- it’s necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (for example, when we provide a service you request from us);
- it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote our services, and to protect our legal rights and interests;
- you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose (for example, you might consent to us sending you our newsletter); or
- we need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
Personal information is processed for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal rights. In order to determine the most appropriate retention periods for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your information, the reasons for which we collect and process your personal information, and applicable legal requirements.
In some instances, we may choose to anonymize personal information instead of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize, we make sure that there is no way that the personal information can be linked back to any specific individual.
While we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, please note that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

- to enable you to customize or personalize your experience of our Websites;
- to host and provide our Websites;
- to deliver direct marketing communications to you regarding products and services of ours that we may think are of interest to you;
- to respond to your queries and requests, or otherwise communicate directly with you;
- to provide customized advertisements, content, and information (provided that, where required under applicable law, we will only provide you with tailored content with your opt-in consent);
- for the purposes described in our Cookie Policy;
- where we need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.

To successors and/or acquires of our business and/or assets. If we or our assets are acquired, or in the unlikely event that we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, we would include data among the assets transferred to any parties who acquire us. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any parties who acquire us may continue to use your personal information according to this policy. law enforcement and/or other government agencies if we are required to disclose personal information by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order, our policy is to respond to requests that are properly issued by law enforcement within the United States or other agencies with proper jurisdiction. Under such circumstances, unless prohibited by applicable law, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address. However, government requests may include a court-granted non-disclosure order, which prohibits us from giving notice to the affected individual. In cases where we receive a non-disclosure order, we will notify you when it has expired or once we are authorized to do so. Note that if we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide information to law enforcement trying to prevent or mitigate the danger (if we have it), to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
To other third parties with your consent. There may be situations where you are asked to consent to share personal information with third parties for additional reasons not included in this Privacy Policy. In such event, we will only share such personal information if we have received your prior consent and only for the purposes as listed in the request to share such information.
