Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — servers located outside of your

jurisdiction.
For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland to countries not deemed to
provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission or relevant authorities, we implement
appropriate safeguards, such as:
● Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Approved by the European Commission, obliging recipients to protect
personal data to the GDPR standards.
● Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs): For intra-group transfers, where applicable.
● Data Transfer Agreements: Ensuring equivalent protection as required by local laws (e.g., LGPD).
Where required, we conduct Transfer Impact Assessments to evaluate the level of protection in the recipient country and
implement supplementary measures if necessary.
By providing your personal data, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing. Where consent is the legal basis for
transfer, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. - Data Security and Retention

● Data Minimization: Collecting only necessary data.
● Regular Security Audits: Conducting periodic reviews of our security practices.
● Employee Training: Educating our staff on data protection and security.
● Pseudonymization/Anonymization: Where feasible and appropriate.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the
internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6.2. Data Retention: We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this
Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., for legal, tax, or accounting purposes).
When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law. - Your Data Protection Rights
