The following provisions apply to persons in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). To the extent that the following provisions are different from the general provisions above, the following provisions prevail.

If we transfer your personal information to a third party and that transfer, or an act or omission by the third party, results in a violation of this Privacy Statement or applicable EEA law, we are liable for the transfer and/or the act or omission, even if it was the third party that committed the act or omission.

Where we transfer personal information to a third party acting as an agent, (i) we transfer such data only for limited and specified purposes; (ii) we require (usually by contract) at least a level of privacy protection consistent with this Privacy Statement; (iii) we take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the agent effectively processes the personal information transferred in a manner consistent with our obligations under this Privacy Statement; and (iv) we take reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing.

You have the right to choose (opt out) whether your personal information is (i) to be disclosed to a third party or (ii) to be used for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. If you wish to exercise any of these choices, please contact us using the information below. This choice/opt-out doesn’t apply where the sharing of your personal information is with a third party who is acting as our agent (such as our service providers who perform services that help us to run our business). We won’t provide your personal information to a third party under these circumstances unless we have a contract in place with that third party that requires the third party to comply with obligations consistent with this Privacy Statement.

We do not intentionally or knowingly collect or maintain information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health, or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.

We process personal information that we need in order to carry out our business. We only process personal information in a way that is compatible with the purposes for which we collected it or subsequently authorized by the data subject.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.

We adhere to this Privacy Statement for as long as we retain the personal information.

Except as otherwise permitted by law, we destroy or anonymize personal information after it no longer serves a purpose of processing as contemplated above.

We give data subjects access to such personal information as we have that pertains to them and will help to correct, amend, or delete that information where it is inaccurate, or has been processed in violation of this Privacy Statement or applicable law. If you wish to contact us to access your information, you can do so using the contact information below.
