Data Retention
We retain personal data about you for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in these Disclosures, unless a longer period is required under applicable law or is needed to resolve disputes or protect our legal rights.
The criteria used to determine the period for which personal data about you will be retained varies depending on the legal basis under which we process the personal data:
| Legitimate Interests | Where we are processing personal data based on our legitimate interests, we generally will retain such information for a reasonable period of time based on the particular interest, taking into account the fundamental interests and the rights and freedoms of data subjects |
| Consent | Where we are processing personal data based on your consent, we generally will retain the information for the period of time necessary to fulfill the underlying agreement with you, subject to your right, under certain circumstances, to have certain of your data erased (please see the Your Privacy Rights section below) |
| Contract | Where we are processing personal data based on contract, we generally will retain the information for the duration of the contract plus some additional limited period of time that is necessary to comply with law or that represents the statute of limitations for legal claims that could arise from the contractual relationship |
| Legal Obligation | Where we are processing personal data based on a legal obligation, we generally will retain the information for the period of time necessary to fulfil the legal obligation |
| Legal Claim | We may need to apply a “legal hold” that retains information beyond our typical retention period where we face threat of legal claim. In that case, we will retain the information until the hold is removed, which typically means the claim or threat of claim has been resolved. |
In all cases, in addition to the purposes and legal bases, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, as well as the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data.
Descriptions in the Cookie Notice

The remainder of these Disclosures shall apply to the related processing activities.
International Data Transfers
We may transfer personal data about you among us and to our subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as to the categories of third parties identified in the Our Disclosure of Personal Information section of the PRIVACY NOTICE and to the entities identified in Descriptions on Processing Activities Regarding Cookies section of our Cookie Notice. Personal data may be transferred to, stored and processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including, but not limited to, the United States and any (other) country in the world. A country to which personal data is transferred may not provide the same level of protection for personal data as the country from which it was transferred.
We may transfer personal data about you outside of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland and when we do so, we rely on appropriate or suitable safeguards recognized under the GDPR including adequacy decisions, and standard contractual clauses.
Adequacy Decisions
We may transfer personal data about you to countries, territories or one or more specified sectors within a country that the European Commission has or competent authorities in the UK or Switzerland have deemed to adequately safeguard personal data. You can find a current list of these adequacy decisions here.
Standard Contractual Clauses

We may use these Standard Contractual Clauses (with UK and Swiss amendments, as may be required) when transferring personal data from a country in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country outside of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland that has not been deemed to adequately safeguard personal data. You can request a copy of our Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section of this PRIVACY NOTICE.
