LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

PD from children under the age of 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child

of loss or misuse of your PD or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature.
We strongly urge you to protect any password you may have for our website and not disclose it
to anyone.
USE OF YOUR CREDIT CARD

only third-party billing services that use industry-standard encryption technology to protect
your credit card number from unauthorized use. However, you understand and agree that we
are in no way responsible for any misuse of your credit card number.
TRANSFERRING PD FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
PD that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred among any countries in
which we operate. The European Union has not found the United States and some other
countries to have an acceptable level of protection of PD under Article 45 of the GDPR. Our
company relies on derogations for specific situations as defined in Article 49 of the GDPR. If you
are a European Union user, or a user from another country, with your consent your PD may be
transferred to the United States or other countries when you request information from us.
When you buy goods or services, we will use your PD to perform a contract with you. Wherever
we transfer, process, or store your PD, we will try to apply reasonable safeguards to protect it.
We will use the information we collect from you by following the practices described in our
privacy notice. Also, we enter into data processing agreements and standard contractual
clauses when appropriate. By using our website, services, or products, you agree to the
transfers of your PD described within this section.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY NOTICE
We reserve the right to change this privacy notice at any time. If our company decides to
change this privacy notice, we will post those changes on our website so our users and

decide to disclose or use your PD in a method different from that specified at the time it was
collected, we will provide advance notice by email sent to the email address on file in your
account. Otherwise, we will use and disclose our usersā and customersā PD in agreement with
the privacy notice in effect when the information was collected. Your continued use of our
