Cookies are small data files stored by a browser. Some cookies may be strictly necessary for website functions, while other categories may require a choice or consent depending on their purpose and the laws applicable to the visitor.
More information about cookie categories, purposes and browser controls is available in our Cookies Policy .
07 When information may be shared

08 International data transfers
The internet, website hosting and email infrastructure can involve processing in more than one country. As a result, information may be stored or processed in a jurisdiction other than the one in which you live.
Where international transfer requirements apply, we seek to use reasonable contractual, organizational or legal safeguards appropriate to the service and information involved.
09 Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to communications, maintain security records, comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.
Contact messages may be retained while an inquiry remains relevant and for a reasonable period afterward. Technical server and security logs are generally retained for shorter operational periods unless a longer period is needed to investigate an incident or comply with law.
Retention periods may vary according to the type of information, the reason it is processed and technical settings maintained by the applicable service provider.
