GDPR Privacy Notice

 Introduction

This GDPR Privacy Notice is a supplement to our Privacy Policy and covers certain personal data we have collected about residents of the countries in the European Union, consisting of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and to the extent that the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom. It explains why we have that information, how we use and handle it, and your rights to that information, all as required by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Where did we get your personal data?

We may also receive personal data when we are working on the resolution to our customers’ problems.
