We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Our electronic systems are protected by security software, which software may include firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spam, malware and trojan protection, as well as reasonably up-to-date software patches and security ‘definition’ updates.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland.

We will transfer personal data we collect about you to the United States, where our servers are located. We will only transfer data for the purposes outlined in this Policy. The United States may not be deemed to provide the same level of data protection as your home country. For transfers of personal information from the European Economic Area to the United States or United Kingdom, and from transfers from the United Kingdom to the United States, we may rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”), as adopted by the European Commission on June 4, 2021, and as it may be amended from time to time. If General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”) adopted by the European Commission or the United Kingdom do not apply to an agreement you have with us, then the SCCs will not apply.

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. By law, you may have the right to request access to, correct, and erase the personal information we hold about you, or object to the processing of your personal information under certain circumstances. Please note that United States regulations may prohibit us from erasing your personal information. You may also have the right to request that we transfer your personal information to another party. If you want to review, verify, correct, or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal information, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us at legalnotices@cercanolp.com.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal information that we hold about you or to make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with our recordkeeping obligations and procedures. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reason(s) why, subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions.

Period of Retention
