Our use of your personal information is necessary for complying with our legal obligations (for example, for sanction checks).

Our legitimate interests are to (i) operate and develop business, (ii) reply to inquiries and provide support, (iii) operate our website, (iv) improve or provision Services, (v) carry out marketing, market research, and business development, and (vi) use for administrative purposes.

When we collect personal information, it may be transferred to or processed in the U.S. We take steps designed to ensure that the data we collect under this Notice is processed and protected according to the provisions of this Notice and applicable law wherever the data is located.We transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland to other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection.
