International Customers. By using our Services, you consent to your Customer Information collected by us or our third party service providers to be transferred outside your country of residence to countries or jurisdictions where we or our affiliates may have business operations or to engage third parties to provide services to us for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Such countries may not have the same level of data protection as within your country. If we do make such a transfer, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure your Customer Information is protected.
From time to time, we may change our Privacy Policy and may apply any changes to Customer Information previously collected, as permitted by law. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically so that you are aware of our current privacy practices. When we make material changes to our privacy policies and practices, we will notify you by posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website with an updated effective date at the start of the Policy. However, when we make material changes to our privacy policies and practices around interest-based advertising, we will obtain your consent before applying such change to your data collected before the change. If you do not provide such consent, data collected before the material change will continue to be governed by the policy in effect at the time the information was collected.

For your protection, do not respond to such communications or click on links or open any files attached to such suspicious, unsolicited communications.
