The General Data Protection Regulation, which became effective on May 25, 2018, creates consistent data protection rules across Europe. It applies to all companies that process data about individuals in the European Union. The GDPR imposes responsibilities on “data controllers” and “data processors.” A company is a “data controller” when it has the responsibility of determining why and how personal data is processed. A company is a “data processor” when it processes personal data on behalf of a data controller. The Company operates as a data controller.
This Privacy Policy is designed to address only the Company’s data practices with respect to activities conducted by the Company on its own behalf. For those activities, the Company acts as a data controller and may appoint third parties to act as data processors on its behalf. The Company is committed to ensuring that it has appropriate terms in place with such partners so that both the Company and the partners comply with their respective requirements under the GDPR.
Data controllers must have a legal basis to process your personal information. Our legal basis to process your information arises from our need to use your information to provide you with the services described on the Website and customer support and to advance the Company’s other legitimate interests, as discussed more fully in this Privacy Policy. The Company also relies on your consent in some circumstances as the basis for the processing your personal information.
