Cross-Border Transfers
We may transfer your Personal Data to a third party that is located in a jurisdiction other than the one from which it was collected, including to countries that have not been deemed to have an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects. If we do transfer your Personal Data to another jurisdiction, we will do so following due diligence and provided that the data recipient is subject to contractual agreements imposing obligations on it to ensure appropriate technical and organization measures are implemented and maintained at all times to prevent the unauthorized and unlawful processing of Personal Data, and the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data, consistent with our obligations under applicable data protection laws.

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.
