Data Subject Rights

Where required by applicable law, you have the right to obtain confirmation that we maintain certain Personal Information about you (and the right to verify its content, origin, and accuracy), as well as the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing (i.e., withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal), or port such data.

Our Site is operated in the US. If you are located outside the US, Personal Information will be transferred to the US, a jurisdiction that may not provide an equivalent level of protection as your home jurisdiction.

    • For our legitimate business interests (e.g., where necessary to maintain our business generally or, subject to your objection rights, provide relevant marketing).
  • Automated Decision-Making Without Human Intervention. We do not use automated decision-making without human intervention, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects or otherwise significantly affects you.
  • Do Not Track (“DNT”) Signals Sent via Browsers. Given the divergent practices of organizations that offer browsers, and the lack of a standard in the marketplace, we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.
  • Retention of Personal Information. We retain Personal Information collected and processed for marketing purposes for as long as you accept marketing communications from us but, upon request, we will securely delete such data in accordance with applicable law.
