Pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we process your personal information under the following lawful bases:

  • Your consent;
  • The performance of the contract between you and the Site;
  • Compliance with our legal obligations;
  • To protect your vital interests;
  • To perform a task carried out in the public interest;

Our retention policy applies to the following categories of personal data: name, address, email address, telephone number, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browsing information and history while using our Services, Website account information (including usernames and passwords), and employment information (including job position/role if applicable).
