- Any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over the Company or its affiliates, if (i) the Company determines that such disclosure is necessary or advisable pursuant to or in connection with any U.S. federal, state or local, or non-U.S., law, rule, regulation, executive order or policy, including without limitation any anti-money laundering law and the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) such disclosure is not otherwise prohibited by law, rule, regulation, executive order or policy;

Your personal information may be collected in, transferred to, stored or otherwise processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States. Such country may or may not be deemed to provide the same level of protection for personal information as your jurisdiction.
When we transfer personal information internationally, and to the extent required by applicable data protection laws, we rely on suitable safeguards or an appropriate derogation, including:

- Using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities as ensuring adequate safeguards;
- Obtaining your consent to transfer personal information after first informing you about the possible risks of such a transfer;
- Transferring the personal information because it is necessary for the performance of (or to enter into) a contract between you and the Company, or because the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the Company and a third party, and the contract was entered into in your interest; and
- Transferring the personal information because it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

VII. Retention of your personal information
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, or as long as we are legally required or permitted to do so. Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to have your personal information erased.
When deciding how long to retain your personal information, we take into account our legal and regulatory obligations, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information described above and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
