15.COMPLAINTS. Should you wish to report a complaint or if you feel that our Company

has not addressed your concern in a satisfactory manner, you may contact the Information

Commissioner’s office (if an individual located in the United Kingdom) or the European

Data Protection Board.

16. INDIVIDUALS LOCATED WITHIN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

A. Restricted Transfers: Our Company may make a restricted transfer if the receiver

is located in a third country or territory or is an international organization,

covered by UK “adequacy regulations.” If there are no adequacy regulations

about the country, territory or sector for the restricted transfer, our Company

should then find out whether you can make the transfer subject to ‘appropriate safeguards’ as listed in the UK GDPR. Before we rely on an appropriate

safeguard to make a restricted transfer, we must be satisfied that the data subjects

of the transferred data continue to have a level of protection essentially

equivalent to that under the UK data protection regime. We do this by

undertaking a risk assessment, which takes into account the protections

contained in that appropriate safeguard and the legal framework of the

destination country (including laws governing public authority access to the

data). If our assessment is that the appropriate safeguard does not provide the

required level of protection, we will include additional measures. Appropriate

safeguards may be: (1) A legally binding and enforceable instrument between

public authorities or bodies; (2) binding corporate rules as defined in Article 47

of the UK GDPR; (3) a contract incorporating standard data protection clauses

recognized or issued in accordance with the UK data protection regime; (4) a

code of conduct approved by the ICO; (4) Certification under an approved

certification scheme; (5) a bespoke contract governing a specific restricted

transfer which has been individually authorized by the ICO; or (6)

Administrative arrangements between public authorities or bodies. If none of the

criteria above apply for the transfer, we may still make the transfer if the transfer

is covered by an ‘exception’ set out in Article 49 of the UK GDPR.

B. CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13: All website users located in the United

Kingdom must be at least 13 years of age. If we learn we have received

information from a child under 13 we will delete the information. If you have

reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 located in the United Kingdom

has provided Personal Data to us through the Website or Services, please contact

us and we will endeavor to delete the information from our database. If we learn

a user is under 13 years of age, we will not disclose any personal information to

any third parties unless the user has given opt-in consent. If you have reason to

believe that a user is under 13 years of age, notify the Company in order to

prevent disclosure of any personal data without opt-in consent.

services to individuals in the UK; or monitor the behavior of individuals in the

UK. Our local UK representative is listed below:
