The security of your personal data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In addition, several countries have agreements with other countries providing for the exchange of information for law enforcement, tax and other purposes. If we transfer your data to third parties for purposes stated in this Policy, we will use best endeavours to put in place appropriate controls and safeguards to ensure that your data is kept accurate, adequately protected, and processed only for specified and reasonable purposes in a manner that is fair, transparent and has a lawful basis, and is stored for no longer than is necessary.

By accessing or using our services or otherwise providing information to us, you understand that your information will be processed, transferred, and stored in India and other countries, where different data protection standards may apply and/or you may not have the same rights as you do under local law.

When we transfer your personal data from your home country (country, state and city in which you are present) to the alternate country (another country, state and city), we will comply with our legal and regulatory obligations in relation to your personal data, including having a lawful basis for transferring personal data and putting appropriate safeguards in place to ensure an adequate level of protection for the personal data. We will also ensure that the recipient in an alternate country is obliged to protect your personal data at a standard of protection comparable to the protection under applicable laws.

Our lawful basis for such transfer will be either on the basis of content or one of the safeguards permissible by laws.
