Storage Of Personal Information
Our Services are global, and your information (including Personal Information) may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers, and we may transfer your information to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country of residence. By submitting your Personal Information to us or to a third-party via Alicent or Services, you acknowledge that you will be voluntarily transferring your Personal Information to a jurisdiction which may not provide the same privacy framework as other regions. If you live in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), the Personal Information that we collect from you may therefore be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or partners. By submitting your Personal Information, you agree to this transfer, storing, or processing outside of the EEA. We take steps to ensure that the data we collect under this Privacy Policy is stored and processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of where the data is located.
Protection Of Your Personal Information
We take our responsibility to protect your information very seriously. While no data transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure, we use reasonable and appropriate security measures and practices to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and destruction.
Data Retention
We retain Personal Information for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose for which that Personal Information was provided or collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). This will at least be for as long as we provide access to Alicent to you.
After you have ceased using Alicent we will retain Personal Information for purposes of tracking Alicent’s overall effect. We may also retain Personal Information where reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, enforce our contracts, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us.
Other Sites, Mobile Applications, and Services
Alicent may contain links to other websites and online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and sharing of your Personal Information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and online services you use.
