BigCo is based in the United States and, regardless of where you use our Service, the information collected as part of that use will be transferred to and maintained on servers located in the United States. By using our Service, you consent to this collection, transfer, storage, and processing of Personal Information in the United States.

In addition, the processing described above may involve overseas storage and other overseas transfer, including in or to countries or territories where the laws may provide a different level of data protection.

When Personal Information is transferred to such countries or territories not recognized under applicable law as offering an adequate level of data protection, we have put in place appropriate data transfer mechanisms as required under applicable law (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure Personal Information remains protected. You can obtain a copy of the relevant data transfer mechanism we have put in place to protect personal data by contacting us as described below.

‍

When seeking to exercise your rights under this Privacy Policy or applicable state law, please provide your email address, phone number, and any other information that may be relevant to your request.
