VII. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

We only process your personal information when we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law. This means that either we’ve obtained your consent to process the information or we need to process it in order to comply with applicable law, provide you with the Services, enter into contractual obligations with or fulfill our contractual obligations to you, protect your rights, or fulfill our legitimate business interests.

If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), or the United Kingdom ("UK"), this section applies to you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

  1. Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

  2. Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.

  3. Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:

  1. Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

  2. Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

If you are located in other countries outside the US, this section applies to you.

By accessing the Services and providing us with your information, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred outside the country in which you reside, including, but not limited to the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world and where the information may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction. Where legally required, we use appropriate safeguards for transferring your data outside of your jurisdiction. This includes using Standard Contractual Clauses for information of EEA and UK residents.

VIII. WHEN AND TO WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We disclose the categories of personal information described above with the following categories of third parties in order to fulfill your requests, provide the Services, run our business, and comply with legal obligations, among other purposes:

We have implemented technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or generated by Zipline in connection with the Services, or any other service offered by Zipline.
