If you are not a resident of the United States, your country's laws governing data collection and use may differ from those in the United States. For example, the data protection laws of the United States have not been found by the European Commission to provide the same level of protection as EU data protection law.

Transfers to Unaffiliated Third Parties

Third-party entities, primarily vendors, are sometimes located outside the EU.

In exceptional cases, we may rely on statutory derogations for international data transfers.
