For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, where applicable.
While we implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
