If you object to receiving transactional messages, we may have to cease providing Services to you.
‍
We disclose your personal information and other information in the manner and for the purposes that are described in the sections below.
‍
We may work with third parties that provide services to us that help us facilitate one or more aspects of the products, services, communications, or features that we offer to you on and through our Site and our Services. We may provide these third parties with your personal information directly or they may collect your personal information from you on our behalf.

Since we may share your personal information with third parties (including our service providers) as described in this Privacy Policy, your personal information may be collected, used, processed, stored or disclosed outside of your jurisdiction of residence, including in Canada. As such, your personal information may potentially be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities of another jurisdiction where local laws provide for a different level of protection for personal information. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security agencies in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal information.
‍
If you are based in the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA), in the course of providing the Services to you, we may transfer your personal information outside of the UK / EEA, principally to Arbor’s offices in Canada and servers in Canada; this means that your personal information will not have the automatic protection of European / UK data protection laws (including the GDPR) which apply in the UK and EEA. In these circumstances, in order to ensure that your personal information continues to have adequate protection when it is transferred outside the UK and/or EEA, your personal information will only be transferred on one of the following bases:
You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal data when it is transferred internationally (including outside the UK / EEA) by contacting us using the details set out below.

We may disclose aggregated, non-personal information and related usage information, which does not contain any personal information that can identify you, with third parties, including our customers, clients, partners, advertisers, service providers, vendors, suppliers, and content providers. For example, we may share data with an advertiser regarding the number of views that their advertisements received, the amount of time that users spent looking at their products or services on a web page, or the number of times a link we made available was used.
‍
We will keep your personal information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, in accordance with our internal policies. The length of time that data will be kept may depend on the reasons for which we are processing the data and on the applicable laws or regulations that the information falls under such as financial regulations, statutory limitation periods or any contractual obligation we might have.
If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list in order to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future.
‍
We endeavour to maintain commercially reasonable physical, technological, and procedural safeguards that are appropriate based on the sensitivity of the personal information in question. These safeguards are designed to prevent your personal information from loss and unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal, or destruction.
‍
Please advise us immediately of any incident involving the loss of or unauthorized access to or disclosure of your personal information that is relevant to your use of our Services.
‍
