However, no application, Internet, or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free, and we do not guarantee the security of any personal information.

We follow applicable data protection laws when transferring personal data. If you are a resident in or a visitor from the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will protect your personal information when it is transferred outside of such locations by processing it in a territory which the European Commission has determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal information, or otherwise by implementing appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, including through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism approved by the European Commission.
