By using the Services, you understand and consent to the collection, storage, processing, and transfer of your Personal Information to our facilities and private cloud storage solutions in the United States and to those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Notice. For clarification, we and our affiliates are located and established in the United States and, therefore, your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the United States at our facilities or on our private cloud storage solutions. The transfer or disclosure of your Personal Information to such countries, including the United States, is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request and for fulfillment of the Services to you (or your employer, as our client).
Although the data protection, privacy, and other laws of such countries, including the United States, may not be as comprehensive as those in your country, we take necessary and appropriate steps to protect the security and privacy of your Personal Information in accordance with applicable law (including implementation of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, as updated from time to time).
5. Your Rights and choices concerning your Personal Information
5.1 Pursuant to applicable data protection laws (including GDPR), you may contact us to exercise certain rights concerning your Personal Information, including the right to:
Please note that in most cases, we are required to forward your request to your employer (as the controller of your Personal Information), who will handle the request and provide instructions to us as to how to proceed.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Depending on where you are located, some of these rights may not apply or may be subject to limitations.

You will not face discrimination for exercising your rights with respect to your Personal Information.
You or your authorized administrator or agent may contact us (as described below) to exercise these rights set out in sections 5.1 and 5.2 above.

We retain Personal Information for a reasonable period to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it (as outlined in this Privacy Notice). If we no longer need Personal Information for such purposes, we delete it from our records, unless applicable law or legal considerations necessitate a longer retention period.
7. Security measures
We use technical and organizational measures, such as encryption technologies, to protect Personal Information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, use, or alteration. We review our security measures regularly and consider new measures as appropriate. However, we cannot guarantee the complete security of these measures, so please exercise caution when submitting Personal Information online.
8. Cookies and tracking technology
Cookies are small text files which are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website or mobile application. Pixels, clear gif’s, and other tracking technologies operate similarly. The term “cookies” in this Privacy Notice refers to all files that collect information in this manner.
Cookies retain information about activity on a website and provide that information to the website owner. We use essential cookies to manage performance and optimize our technology to ensure the Websites and Services operate as designed. When you visit the Websites or use the Services, we may place session and persistent cookies in order to facilitate your use of the Websites or Services by recognizing you when you return or delivering content according to your language and profile. Information we collect via cookies may be linked to your Personal Information we have previously collected. You can disable cookies on your device at any time by adjusting your browser or mobile application preferences or settings. If you do so, you may be unable to access certain parts of the Websites or Services. You can also delete cookies at any time through your browser or mobile application settings.
Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. We currently do not honor “do not track” signals. If we do so in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice accordingly.
9. Children’s privacy
The Services and our Websites are not directed to or intended for individuals under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect information from natural persons who are not of legal age to disclose such information. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit your e-mail address or any other Personal Information to us.
10. Updates to our Privacy Notice
We may update or change this Privacy Notice from time to time based on changes in law or internal review of our policies and procedures. When we perform an update, we will amend the “last updated” date above and notify you if such changes affect your rights or our obligations under this Privacy Notice.
