Definitions
‘NONPERSONAL DATA’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
‘PERSONAL DATA’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data. (GDPR) means General Data Protection Regulation.

Transferring PD from the European Union
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 adequate 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
customer or user, with your consent your PD may be transferred to the United
States or other countries outside the European Union when you request
information from us. When you buy goods or services from us, we will use your
PD for the performance of a contract or to take steps to enter into a contract.
Wherever we transfer, process, or store your PD, we will take reasonable steps
to protect it. We will use the information we collect from you in accordance
with our privacy notice. By using our website, services, or products you agree
to the transfer of your PD described within this section.

agreement with the privacy notice in effect when the information was collected.
In all cases your continued use of our website, services, and products after
any change to this privacy notice will constitute your acceptance of such
change. If you have questions about our privacy notice, please contact us
through the information at the top of this privacy notice.
