Where the law of another jurisdiction applies to a particular activity, we will process personal information on the legal grounds available under that law, which may include your consent, the performance of a contract, our legitimate business interests, or compliance with legal obligations.

Information Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No method of transmission or storage over the internet, however, is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
