We may, from time to time, use tracking methods that record specific information from your browser or device. This information may contain your language settings, log files, web beacons, pixel tags, internet protocol address, specific browser, internet service provider, operating system, and dates, times and duration of your use of our Service.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

We process data both inside and outside of the United States, and we rely on legal mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders. Countries where we process data, such as the United States, potentially have less protective laws than the privacy protections of your own country. We are aware of the July 16, 2020, ruling by the European Court of Justice and the September 8, 2020 opinion by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) invalidating the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework. We will continue to wait for guidance from the European Commission, Swiss FDPIC and the US Government regarding how to best protect your data in the event of cross-border transfers. Although this decision by the CJEU invalidated the use of Privacy Shield, SCCs remain in place and we may transfer data from the EU, EEA and Switzerland using SCCs.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any sensitive data about you. Sensitive data refers to data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data.
