The rights available to you may be limited in some circumstances by local law. For example, we may retain certain and limited information about your request for recordkeeping purposes, to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, for our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and/or as otherwise required by law.
If you would like to exercise your privacy rights, you may submit your request through this form. We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days or as soon as reasonably practicable, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
In your request, please make clear relevant details, for example, what Personal Information you would like to have updated. Please do not include more Personal Information than the form requires. For your protection, we will verify your identity before processing your request. When you are a close relative of a deceased and are requesting to access, correct, update, receive a copy, or delete the deceased’s information, we may need to verify your identity and the relationship between you and the deceased.
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Site or Offerings to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Site or Offerings); (ii) whether there is a legal or business obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations regulatory investigations, or other legal matters).
Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. Please be aware that, when you use the Site or Offerings, we transfer information, through the course of regular business operations, to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country or that may not be considered adequate by your country of residence. When we transfer your Personal Information outside your country of residence, we may put in place appropriate safeguards in accordance with our legal obligations to ensure your Personal Information is adequately protected irrespective of the country to which it is transferred. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Information.
Some countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to European Economic Area (“EEA”) standards (the full list of these countries is available here). For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission to protect your Personal Information.
