a.     Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction. If You are located outside United States and choose to provide information to Us, please note that We transfer the information, including Personal Information, to United States and process it there.

b.     Our legal basis for collecting and using information described above will depend on the Data concerned and the specific context in which We collect it. However, We will normally collect Data from You only where We have Your consent to do so, where We need the Account Information, Payment Information, Personal Information, and/or User Content to perform a contract with You, or where the processing is in Our legitimate interests is not outweighed by Your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, We may also have a legal obligation to collect and maintain User Information from You. If We ask You to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with You, We will make this clear at the relevant time and advise You whether the provision of Your Personal Information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if You do not provide Your Personal Information). Similarly, if We collect and use Your Personal Information in reliance on Our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), We will make clear to You at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are. Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

                                               i.     the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

                                             ii.     processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

                                           iii.     processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

                                            iv.     processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

                                             v.     processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

                                            vi.     processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

 

7.     SECURITY OF INFORMATION. We cannot and do not guarantee that information supplied to Us will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. We use various web hosting providers, including Amazon, Google and WPEngine to store Data and information required for Our Services and Site.  Your Account Information and/or Personal Information and other data may be hosted and processed by Us. If, and when, a User accesses secured areas of Our Sites, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology protects user information using both server authentication and data encryption, ensuring that user data is safe, secure, and available only to authorized persons. Our computer systems are hosted in a secure data center environment that uses a firewall, intrusion detection systems, and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is perfectly secure.  Therefore, We cannot guarantee absolute security.  In the event that any personally identifiable information is compromised as a result of Our breach of security, We will promptly notify those persons whose personally identifiable information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law. We are not responsible for any data or privacy breaches that are not directly caused by Us or Our affiliates, vendors, employees, contractors, or partners.

Once You leave the Site via such a link, access a third-party application, or click on a third party offer, You should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser website to determine, among other things, how they will handle any personal information they collect from You. Our provision of such links does not constitute Our endorsement of these other websites, their content, their owners, or their practices.

 

9.     PUBLIC FORUMS. We may offer publicly accessible message boards, blogs, and community forums both on the Site and by other means. Please keep in mind that if You directly disclose any information through Our public message boards, blogs, or forums, this information may be collected and used by others.

We will also retain Personal information, Navigation Information, and Account Information for internal business analysis purposes only. When We have no ongoing legitimate business need to process Your Personal Information, Payment Information, Navigation Information, and/or Account Information, We securely delete the information or anonymize it or, if this is not possible, then We will securely store Your Personal Information, Payment Information, Navigation Information, and/or Account Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
