6. International Transfers

In some instances, we may transfer your personal information to recipients located outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When we do so, we will ensure that the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or the transfer is to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission.

7. Retention of Your Information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
