For any transfers of personal data from within the EEA or the UK  to countries outside the EEA or the UK, the data transfer will be carried out either under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or pursuant to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as relevant, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined by the European Commission or the relevant UK authorities, as applicable, to provide an adequate level of protection for individuals’ rights and freedoms for their personal data. Please contact us at privacyofficer@dauch.com should you wish to examine a copy of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. DATA SECURITY

Despite our reasonable efforts to protect your information, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Any information you send to us electronically, while using the Website or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.

8. HOW LONG DO WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

As a general rule, we will retain your data as long as they are necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you with the services, comply with our legal obligations, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity, protect ourselves, resolve disputes or enforce our terms and conditions, other applicable terms of service, and our policies.

9. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

This section applies to you only if you are a California resident (“resident” or “residents”). For purposes of this section, references to “personal information” shall include “sensitive personal information,” as these terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
