We make reasonable efforts to restrict access to personal information to employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that personal information in order to operate, develop, or improve our Services.  We subject our employees and our third-party contractors and agents to contractual controls to ensure that they apply suitable protections to any personal information they access or receive from us and are further bound to reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality.

The security of your information also depends on you: you are responsible for using unique, strong usernames and passwords for each of your accounts, and for keeping those usernames and passwords confidential. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or cybersecurity measures contained on our Services, and any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

VIII. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites provided by third parties not under our control. When following a link and providing personal information to a third party website, please be aware that we are not responsible for personal information you provide to that third party.

If we are established in the EU/EEA or are otherwise subject to the GDPR or similar laws, we only transfer your personal information to countries that are considered by those laws to provide an adequate level of protection or otherwise where we have established or confirmed that all data recipients will provide an adequate level of data protection, in particular by way of entering into appropriate data transfer agreements based on Standard Contractual Clauses (e.g., Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914) and other suitable measures, which are accessible from us upon request. Your personal information is processed at our operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located in other countries where the data protection laws may differ from the Untied States.

Red Level uses Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (and the equivalent standard contractual clauses for the UK where appropriate) for transfers to, among others, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.
