The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) is effective May 25, 2018. The GDPR requires that a valid legal basis be used to process personal data. In certain countries, there are different legal bases that we rely on to use your personal information, namely:

Performance of a contract

The use of your personal information may be necessary to perform the agreement you have with us. For example, to register and maintain your account in a secure way or to respond to your requests.

Legitimate interests

We may use your personal information for our legitimate interests. For example, we rely on our legitimate interest to analyze and improve the content on our websites, to send you notifications or to use your personal information for administrative, fraud detection or legal purposes.

Legal obligation

We may use your personal information to comply with legal requirements, as further described in Exceptions above.

Consent

We may at times, request your consent to conduct certain actions with your personal information. When requesting your consent, we are transparent in ensuring you know what you are consenting to.
