The data that we process in relation to you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination in another country.

It may also be processed by staff situated outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our partners. Your information for example could be transferred to the USA, Brazil, Singapore and Australia.
Where personal data is transferred in relation to providing the Service we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that it is subject to appropriate safeguards and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy, such as relying on a recognized legal adequacy mechanism which may include entering into EC approved standard contractual clauses relevant to transfers of personal information (see http://ec.europa.eu/justice/dataprotection/internationaltransfers/transfer/index_en.html).
We process personal data only for so long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, after which it will be deleted or archived except to the extent that it is necessary for us to continue to process it for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject or for another legitimate and lawful purpose. We may retain some of your information even after you disable or stop using the Service, except if you instructed us otherwise.
In particular, we may for an indefinite period process your call and Service activity logs which you granted us access to before disabling or stop using the Service. We do this strictly for statistical purposes, in order to enable us to improve our algorithms and the Service. We will not use these data for any other purposes, and the processing will have no effect on you or any other natural person. The data will not be shared with any third parties either, and we take appropriate measures to ensure that your data is safe with us.
