If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable local laws apply to our processing of your personal data.

Our legal bases for processing your personal data include:

Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA (for example, to US-based service providers), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

  • Access controls and role-based permissions for internal staff
  • Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments
  • Incident response procedures

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.
