E. Technical Security Measures

We use SSL encryption in both the transmission and storage of Personal Data; back-ups are run on a frequent and regular basis; back-up redundancies are maintained; multi-factor authentication is used for access to all data stores; and employee user roles restrict access to those with a need-to-know.

We take all reasonable steps to help protect your Personal Data in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no one can create a completely secure website, app or service and third parties may unlawfully intercept, steal or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your Information or private communications that you transfer over the internet to us will always be secure or remain confidential.

F. Password

Your password deserves careful thought and protection. Use unique numbers, letters, and special characters and do not disclose your password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. If your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately access your profile to change your password and notify us immediately at [email protected]

I. Your Choices

Such data is portable, in a structured, commonly-used, and machine-readable format.

Upon receipt and process of such a request, we will, within a commercially reasonable period of time, comply with such request to the extent reasonable and feasible.

J. Jurisdiction

We are located in the United States, as are the servers that make the Service available. All matters relating to privacy issues are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Colorado.

You have the right to lodge complaints with your applicable local data protection authority, but we hope that you will try to work things out with us first.

Privacy Policy

We recognize the importance of maintaining the privacy of information collected online and via applications, and have created the Privacy Policy (of which this EU-US Privacy Policy is a part) governing the treatment of personal information collected through web sites and applications that we operate. The Privacy Policy reflects additional legal requirements and evolving standards with respect to privacy, and in fact, we utilize this Privacy Policy in facilitating adherence to the Privacy Shield Principles. As such, this EU-US Privacy Policy and the Privacy Policy should be construed harmoniously wherever possible; however, with respect to personal information that is transferred from the EU or Switzerland to the US, the Privacy Policy is subordinate to this EU-US Privacy Policy.
