Information on additional ways your personal data collected through the website or provided services may be used through the website.
In the case of compliance with one or more of the conditions listed, the controller has the ability to process users' personal data.
Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes or types of use of personal data; in some jurisdictions, applicable legislation allows the controller to process personal data if and as long as the user does not object to such processing (“opt-out”). In this case, the controller is not required to obtain prior consent from the user for the processing of personal data or refer to any other legal grounds for authority outlined in this section. For clarity, it should be noted that this does not apply to cases of processing personal data that fall under the GDPR.
To fulfill the terms of the agreement with the user or any pre-contractual obligations, it is necessary to provide personal data.
To ensure compliance with court decisions, to conduct or defend any legal proceedings, the processing of personal data is required.
To comply with any applicable law or regulation governing the activities of the controller, the processing of personal data is necessary.
The collection and processing of personal data is carried out for purposes aimed at addressing public or governmental tasks, as well as for performing the functions of the controller aimed at exercising its official powers.
This processing is necessary to achieve commercial objectives and interests for the controller or third parties.
For the purpose of processing personal data defined in this Privacy Policy, computers or other means related to commercial operations connected with information technology are used, as well as in accordance with organizational procedures and regimes that strictly adhere to specific objectives.
In connection with the operation of the website and services, users have the opportunity to access only the personal data that is processed by independent contractors or agents, consultants, or third parties. These employees, as well as individuals performing the functions of contractors, agents, and consultants, must maintain confidentiality and comply with applicable legislation and regulations regarding data protection and privacy.
The controller has a conscious intention not to sell, transfer, or promote your personal data to third parties who intend to use this data for their purposes. However, we may disclose your Personal Data to third parties if it is reasonably necessary in connection with the operation of the Website and/or the provision of Services (including, as an illustrative and non-exhaustive example, for administrative, sales, marketing, legal, systems administration purposes, or for use by technical service providers, mailing services, hosting providers, IT companies, communication agencies, auditors, or third parties involved in organizing or arranging events or seminars) and, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Controller. A list of third parties currently processing our personal data for the purpose of obtaining services or performing work on the website or its services can be found in this Privacy Policy.
In accordance with this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your personal data to third parties without your consent.
In accordance with this agreement, the processing of personal data is carried out at the Controller's operational offices in the United States of America, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as in other locations where third parties involved in the processing of personal data are located. The transfer of personal data may involve the transfer of all data related to a specific user to a country other than their country of residence.
Under the terms of this Privacy Policy, we have the right to transfer and use your personal information, as well as any other information related to your personal life, in countries outside the United States, including countries in the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as in other countries around the world. You should be aware that data privacy, data protection, and data disclosure laws vary by jurisdiction worldwide, and therefore, the laws and regulations applicable to the locations to which your information is transferred, stored, used, or processed may not provide you with the same level of protection as the laws or regulations specific to the jurisdiction of your residence. To ensure the protection and safeguarding of your personal data in other jurisdictions, we implement the required legal and contractual measures. We also want to ensure that your recipients will adhere to the level of protection and security established by your applicable local data protection laws and regulations.
The Controller will retain Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide the Services described in this Privacy Policy; provided, however, that after termination, it will retain the data for as long as required by applicable laws or regulations (for example, some jurisdictions may have mandatory data retention periods), whichever is longer. Thus, the personal data collected for purposes related to fulfilling the obligations under the contract between the Controller and the User will be retained for a certain period until that contract is fully executed. Data that will be used for the legitimate interests of the Controller (including the commercial activities of the website and service provision) will be retained for a certain period necessary to achieve these purposes.
Please clarify that we have the right to retain your personal data for a longer period than that specified above if you have given consent to the processing of personal data and have not withdrawn that consent.
If the specified retention period for personal data expires, it will be deleted. This means that the rights to access, the right to deletion, and the right to rectification cannot be exercised after the data retention period has expired.
We take commercially reasonable technical, backup, and organizational precautions and security measures to prevent accidental or intentional manipulation, unauthorized access, disclosure, unauthorized destruction, misuse, or alteration of your personal data. Accordingly, we store all personal data you provide on secure (password-protected and firewalled) servers that have protection against unauthorized access. To date, there is no universal way to process or electronically store personal data that is completely safe and guaranteed. Also, although we take all possible measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We advise you to keep copies of all files containing information that have been uploaded to your system, including personal data.
You have the opportunity to obtain certain rights regarding the processing of your personal data, which is controlled by the Controller. Your rights will depend on the applicable regulations in a specific jurisdiction and how they relate to the legal norms governing relationships between its residents. If you are located in Switzerland or other countries outside the EEA, you may exercise the following rights: (please note that residents of countries outside the EEA and Switzerland may not have some of these rights). For clarity, users have the right to withdraw their consent if they previously gave their agreement to the processing of their Personal Data; even after you decide to withdraw your consent, we may be permitted to continue processing your Personal Data to the extent required or permitted by applicable law, and if we are indeed permitted to do so, we reserve the right to do so. Do you have objections to how we process your Personal Data? Users have the right to object to the processing of their Personal Data if they disagree with the purposes and methods of processing that contradict their beliefs or interests. For example, processing may be conducted in the public interest, in the performance of official functions provided by the Controller, or for purposes aimed at commercializing or protecting legitimate interests pursued by the Controller. Users may object to such processing of their Personal Data by sending a written notice to the Controller (to the address or email address), including details about the specific circumstances that raise their objections to our use of their Personal Data, and a justification related to this. Please note that if the processing of your Personal Data is carried out for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the option to protest in writing against such processing of your Personal Data at any time without providing any additional justification or details.
You can access your Personal Data. Users have the right to know what actions the Controller is taking with their Personal Data. They can also access information about which aspects of the processing of their Personal Data are most significant and receive a copy of any such Personal Data that we process. To verify and make changes, a verification procedure must be followed. Users have the right to verify the accuracy of the personal data they have provided that we use under this Agreement. They also have the right to request updates or corrections. Please ensure that you notify us of any changes to your Personal Data. This is necessary so that we can ensure your Personal Data is accurate and up-to-date. A decision has been made to limit the processing of your Personal Data. In some cases, users have the right to restrict the processing of their Personal Data if it is inaccurate or its accuracy is disputed. In this situation, the Controller will not use the user's personal data for any other purposes except for storage. To ensure maximum efficiency in resolving disputes and complaints, it is necessary to limit the use of personal data during the period in which any issue or complaint is being considered.
You can delete your Personal Data or otherwise dispose of it. Users have the right under certain circumstances to compel the Controller to delete their Personal Data from the Controller's possession; provided, however, that the Controller will not be obliged to delete any such Personal Data if the processing of such Personal Data is justified by our commercially reasonable and legitimate interests, required for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for establishing, exercising, or defending any legal claim. In this case, we will take reasonable steps to inform other Controllers who process your Personal Data that you require the deletion of any links, copies, or replicas of any such data. To do this, it is necessary to obtain their Personal Data and transfer it to another controller.
Users have the right to receive their Personal Data in any format, including a structured and machine-readable format from the Controller. If it is technically feasible and reasonably practicable, they may transfer their data to another party for purposes that align with their wishes. There is a possibility that the processing of personal data will be carried out automatically. In this case, user consent or a contract between the parties that governs the parties' relations is necessary.
Submit a complaint for consideration. Users have the opportunity to file a complaint with any competent data protection authority that complies with applicable data protection regulations and laws. This may be an organization from your state or city (depending on what is applicable) where you reside, and its activities will depend on the country where you live and the data protection laws in effect there.
*For your information, any requests to the controller regarding the exercise of user rights can be sent to them via the contact information specified in this Privacy Policy. Please remember that under this Privacy Policy, the Controller is allowed to forward any requests to a third party if that party processes any Personal Data relevant to the data controlled by that third party.
The Controller will make all reasonable efforts to comply with any such User request for the exercise of the rights outlined above within the timeframes required by applicable law (if applicable), unless the delay or retention of the relevant Personal Data is permitted by applicable law, required for another legitimate purpose, or falls under a legal limitation or exemption under applicable law or privacy or data protection regulation.
Any requests directed to the user will be completely free of charge. This condition will be met unless we incur costs that may be unreasonable or unforeseen in relation to providing you with information about your Personal Data.

We have no intention to collect or transmit personal data of children under the age of thirteen (13) without parental consent.
