That information may then be transferred within the United States or back out of the United States to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us.

  13. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR). The GDPR requires TaxRobot Inc. and Servicers using the Service to provide Users with more information about the processing of their Personal Data. The GDPR requires us to tell you about the legal ground we’re relying on to process any Personal Data about you.

This may be intra-group or to third parties that we work with who may be located in jurisdictions outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK which have no data protection laws or laws that are less strict compared with those in Europe.

We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
  17. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION. You can access your Personal Information via the Company Service with your password and username. If you access your account via a third-party site or service, you may have additional or different sign-in protections via that third-party site or service. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-in mechanism appropriately and limiting access to your mobile device by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Unauthorized entry or use, or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user personal information at any time. 
    1. If we believe that the security of your personal information may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. In addition, your Personally Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to. 
    2. We encrypt certain sensitive information using SSL technology and AWS Cloud Technology to ensure that your Personally Information is safe as it is transmitted to us.  However, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies that do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from or via the Company Service, and we are not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may receive any such information.
