International Data Transfer

S&C is committed to complying with this Privacy Notice and European data protection laws with regard to information transferred from the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Because of this, S&C has taken steps to protect your privacy and fundamental rights when your personal data is transferred to the United States (and to other countries where no adequacy decision of the European Commission exists). For transfers to S&C entities outside the EEA, we make use of the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

A Cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the Cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (when it expires), and a randomly generated unique number or other similar identifier. A Cookie may also contain information about your computer, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our online services.

“Web Beacon” (also called a pixel tag or clear GIF) is a piece of computer code that enables us to monitor user activity and website traffic.

We refer to Cookies, Web Beacons, and other similar technology as “Data Collection Technology. To learn more about cookies and web beacons, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Data Collection Technology helps us improve your experience on our online services. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web-based analytics tool that tracks and reports on the manner in which the website is used to help us to improve it. Google Analytics does this by placing Cookies on your device. The information that the Cookies collect, such as the number of visitors to the website, the pages visited and the length of time spent on the website, is aggregated. We also may use Data Collection Technology to collect information from the computer or device that you use to access our online services, such as your operating system type, browser type, domain and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone in which your computer or device is located.

We generally use the following types of Data Collection Technologies, which may change from time to time:  session, permanent, and third-party cookies.

Some web browsers (including some mobile web browsers) provide settings that allow you to control or reject Cookies or alert you when a Cookie is placed on your device. You may also be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Although you are not required to accept Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through our online services.

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. We follow the DNT signals we receive from your browsers.

Data Retention

We will keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and all applicable legal requirements.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For example, we:

  • Limit access of your personal data to authorized parties;
  • Limit our collection and use of your personal data to the extent necessary to provide you with our services; and
  • Use third party service providers who can meet our data protection standards and have the ability to comply with applicable data protection laws.
