Personal information we handle on behalf of our clients while providing services to them is governed by our agreements with those clients, not by this policy.

5International data transfers
We are based in the United States and store data in the United States. If you are outside that country, your information will be transferred to and processed there.
When we transfer personal information from the EU, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

- Restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing
- Receive your information in a portable format
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share it)
To exercise these rights, email privacy@secondderivative.io. We will verify your identity and respond within the time the law requires, usually 30 days (GDPR) or 45 days (US state laws). We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You may use an authorized agent where the law allows.
If you are in the EU or UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.

The Services are intended for businesses and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
