Some of the personal information you provide to us will be stored or processed on our behalf by third party suppliers and data processors and may be located in other jurisdictions whose laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. Whether to third parties or internally, any transfers of personal information from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to countries not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection are governed by European Union (“EU”) standard contractual clauses, or in the case of the United States, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, and/or equivalent data transfer regulations to protect the security and confidentiality of personal information, as described below. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Squarespace stores your personal information (for analytics purposes) in multiple Tier III data centres across the USA. Squarespace serves images and other static assets via multiple geographically distributed content delivery networks (CDNs). This system ensures that the data in each page view is served from the data centre closest to your location. For further information about how Squarespace processes personal information, read Squarespace’s privacy policy - squarespace.com/privacy
Personal information contained on job applications you submit to us or when providing details to us of any technology, invention or development of interest will be stored on our servers within the EEA and will only be shared with external service providers in certain circumstances for the purposes of assessing your applications via specific contracts approved by the European Commission.
Transfers outside the European economic area
We may transfer your personal information outside of the EEA, including to the USA, in order to provide this information to some of our third party business partners; to allow for our analytics providers, Squarespace and Google Analytics, to provide analytics services; to comply with a legal obligation; or for our own legitimate business purposes. At all times when transferring your information outside of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
Transfer of your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
Where we use certain service providers or transfer data to other recipients, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (so-called standard data protection clauses).
Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data in compliance with the provisions of the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework.
Not withstanding the above, in the absence of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, or appropriate safeguards, a transfer or a set of occasional transfers of personal data to a third country located outside the EEA may take place pursuant to the Art. 49 GDPR derogations for specific situations.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific steps we take when transferring your personal data out of the EEA, in particular if you wish to receive an overview of third country recipients and a copy of the appropriate or suitable safeguards in place.
How long do we keep your information?
We apply a general rule of keeping personal information only for as long as is required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. However, in some circumstances we may retain your personal information for longer periods of time.
We may retain your information for the following purposes:
as long as it is necessary and relevant for our operations, e.g., so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenge; and
to comply with applicable laws, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce our Terms of Service and take other actions as permitted by law.
The security measures we have in place to protect your personal information Item
We take great care in maintaining the security of our Services and your information and in preventing unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or damage to it through industry standard technologies and internal procedures. Among other things, we contractually ensure that any third party processing your personal information equally provides for confidentiality and integrity of your data in a secure way. However, the transmission of data via the internet is never completely secure, and although we shall do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through our Services; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Who is responsible for processing your personal information?

In addition, we may limit how we collect, use and store some of the information of EU users between the ages of 13 and 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
