- Conducting regular security awareness training for our employees.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
International Data Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States and have service providers in other countries, so your personal information may be transferred outside of your state, province, or country to the United States or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.
We transfer data only to countries that have been deemed to have adequate privacy protections under applicable laws for international data transfers.
Where required, we use EU Standard Contractual Clauses as approved by the European Commission, and other appropriate legal mechanisms to safeguard the transfer and processing of personal information.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 16 (or other age as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete the information. If you become aware that a child has provided us information without your consent, please contact us at [email protected].

Our Services may contain links to third party websites and services. We are not responsible for the practices of such third party websites or services. Please be aware when you leave our Services to read their privacy policies and terms and conditions.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion. If we make a material change to the way we collect, use, share, or otherwise process your personal information, we will notify you by sending an email to the primary email address on your account or by posting a notice on our website. Changes will be effective 30 days after notice is provided, unless different timing is specified in the notice.
