Our offices and servers are located in the United States, although backup servers may be located in countries outside the United States.

Such third parties may be provided with access to your Personal Information to perform the functions for which they have been retained. Our agreements with these third parties will not permit them to use your Personal Information for any other purposes and commit them to comply with applicable data privacy standards. We further may disclose any information, including Personal Information, we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
