When We May Transfers Your Information Outside The European Economic Area

The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside of the EEA who work for our affiliates or for one of our suppliers.

Where we transfer your information outside the EEA, we will ensure that it is protected in a manner that is consistent with how your information will be protected by us in the EEA. This can be done in a number of ways, for instance:

• the country that we send the information to might be approved by the European Commission;
• the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your information; or
• where the recipient is located in the US, it might be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme.

In other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your information outside the EEA. In all cases, however, we will ensure that any transfer of your personal data is compliant with data protection law.

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your information when it is transferred outside the EEA (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your personal data) by contacting us in accordance with the “Our Contact Information” section below.

Your Rights and Choices you have regarding this information

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to and receive information about the information we maintain about you, update or correct inaccuracies in the information we maintain about you, and have the information blocked or deleted, as appropriate. Your right to access information we maintain about you may be limited under local law. You also have the right to object to the processing of your information or to withdraw your consent to our processing of information about you, including to the transfer of information to other countries.

Note, however, that if you exercise your right to object or your rights of blocking or deletion, if you decline to share certain information with us, or if you withdraw your consent to our processing of information about you, we may not be able to provide to you some, or any, of the features and functionality of Livox Products and Services.

Please note, however, that even if you have withdrawn your consent to our processing of your information, we may still be entitled to process your information if we have another legitimate reason (other than consent) for doing so and that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your information but we are legally entitled to retain it. You may also have a right to the right to request that we restrict our processing of your information in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you ask us to restrict our processing of your information but we are legally entitled to refuse that request. In some circumstances, you may have the right to receive some of your information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit that information to a third party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to information which you have provided to us.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection regulator if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.

You may update, correct, or delete certain Livox account information and preferences by accessing your account preferences page, available through certain Livox Products and Services. If you wish to access or amend any other information we hold about you, you may contact us at cs@livoxtech.com. Likewise, if you close your Livox account, you will not be able to sign in to Livox Products or Services or access any of your information. However, you can open a new account at any time. Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit, as authorized under applicable law, for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.

If you receive commercial email or text messages from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions contained within the email or text message. You may also opt out from receiving commercial email or text messages from us by sending your request to us by email at cs@livoxtech.com.

Retention of Your Information

How long we hold your information for will vary. The retention period will be determined by various criteria including:

• the purpose for which we are using it – we will need to keep the information for as long as is necessary for that purpose; and
• legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your information.
