5. International Transfers
We may transfer your information to, and process your information in, countries other than your country of residence. By using our services, you agree to this transfer, storing, and processing of your information.
In compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), when data is transferred from the EU to countries without an adequacy decision—such as the United States—we ensure such transfers are protected using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. For example, our business analytics provider, Visitor Queue, stores data in Canada (recognized by the EU as adequate) and the United States, where SCCs are applied to safeguard your rights.

We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Despite these efforts, please understand that the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
