If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact Rick Carback, who we have designated as the Company’s Data Protection Officer under the GDPR (as defined below),  at [email protected]. In your request, please make clear: (i) what personal information is concerned; and (ii) which of the above rights you would like to enforce.

We take your privacy very seriously and work hard to protect the Company and you from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we collect and store. Your personal information will be stored on a series of servers which have implemented industry standard security measures to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure and/or access. We encrypt the Site using SSL encryption technology and all traffic on the Site is forced to use SSL. We review all information practices on a regular basis, and we restrict access to information on a need-to-know basis for all employees and other Company service providers who are subject to confidentiality obligations and are subject to termination or disciplinary action, including legal action, should such employees or service providers breach these obligations.

By submitting to us personal information, you give your express consent to the transfer and storage of your personal information as described in this Policy.

GDPR and International Transfers

All collection, processing and storing of personal data is performed in accordance with the Regulations (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27th April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and the Company’s processing will take place in accordance with the GDPR. You can exercise your right to complain to a data protection authority by using the contact info found here.

Your information, including personal information that we collect from you, may be transferred to, stored at and processed by us and our affiliates and other third parties outside the country in which you reside, including, but not limited to the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By using our Site, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.  One such step we will take to ensure the security of your personal information is to enter into specific contract clauses approved by the European Commission which ensure your personal information is given the same protection it has in Europe.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is reasonably required for you to use the Site and our services (and in the event you have created an account with us, until you close such account), unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
