We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

  • When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;

  • If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

  • As necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as:

    • Providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve our services; and

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

For purchases made within the EU, we may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If we are deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

  • Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.

  • Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
