5. Legal and Business Reasons for Processing
Although U.S. laws do not always use the same terminology as other jurisdictions, we process personal information based on one or more of the following principles:
- Your consent, where you have clearly agreed to a particular use (for example, certain marketing communications or optional cookies).
- The performance of a contract, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
- Legal obligations, such as record-keeping and compliance requirements.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us or using the tools provided (such as unsubscribe links).
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:
- Enable the basic functionality and security of the site.
- Remember your preferences and settings.
- Collect aggregate statistics on usage and performance.
- Support content, analytics, or advertising (where applicable).
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be used with your consent, which may be obtained via a cookie banner or similar tool. You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of the website.
7. Retention of Information
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, tax, accounting, or litigation hold obligations).
Once information is no longer needed, it will be deleted, anonymized, or stored in a form that no longer allows it to be associated with an identified or identifiable individual, unless there is a continuing legal or business need to retain it in identifiable form.
8. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We may share personal information, where appropriate and subject to applicable law, with:
- Service providers and vendors who perform services on our behalf (such as hosting, IT support, analytics providers, e-mail or newsletter services, payment processors). These parties are required to use the information only as necessary to perform the services and to protect it appropriately.
- Professional advisors, such as attorneys, accountants, or auditors, where necessary for legitimate business purposes and subject to confidentiality obligations.
- Public authorities, regulators, or law enforcement, when we are legally required to do so or when disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.
- Other third parties in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring, or similar event, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense of the term. If applicable U.S. or state laws (for example, certain state privacy laws) define “sale” in a broader way and if our practices fall within that definition, we will provide appropriate disclosures and choices as required by those laws.
9. International Transfers
If you access the website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, and processed in, the United States or other countries that may have different data protection rules than your country of residence.
Where legally required, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that any international transfers comply with applicable laws and that your information is protected through contractual or other safeguards.
10. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. Such measures may include access controls, encryption, secure hosting, and regular security reviews.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. You acknowledge that you provide information at your own risk and that we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- For residents of certain U.S. states, additional rights may be available (for example, rights to know, delete, or limit the use and disclosure of certain information), which will be honored to the extent required by applicable state law.
We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to certain requests in order to protect your privacy and security.
