International Data Transfers
We are headquartered in the United States. Personal Information may be collected, used, and stored in the United States or other locations outside of your home country. Privacy laws in the locations where we handle your Personal Information may not be as protective as the privacy laws in your home country. By providing your Personal Information, where applicable law permits, you hereby specifically and expressly consent to such transfer and processing and the collection, use, and disclosure as set forth herein or in any applicable terms of service.
Notice To European Users
The information provided in this Section applies only to individuals in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom (collectively, “Europe” for purposes of this Privacy Policy).
Personal Information. Except as otherwise specified, references to personal information in this Privacy Policy are equivalent to “personal data” governed by European data protection legislation.
Controller. The controller of your personal information covered by this Privacy Policy for purposes of European data protection legislation is Parallax. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected or otherwise received on behalf of our clients when providing them with products and services. In such case, they will be considered the controller of your personal information.
Lawful basis for processing. We are required to inform you of the lawful bases of our processing of your personal information, which are listed in the Sections titled How We Use Your Information and Disclosure of Your Information. If you have questions about the lawful basis of how we process your personal information, please contact us at the address provided below.
We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law; provided the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis. We will use your personal information only for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably determine we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. For example, we consider deidentification, aggregation, and anonymization of personal information to be compatible with the purposes listed above and in your interest, because the deidentification, aggregation, and anonymization of such information reduces the likelihood of improper disclosure of that information.

Access. Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.

Restrict. Restrict the processing of your personal information.
Object. Object to our reliance on our lawful basis as the basis of our processing of your personal information that impacts your rights.
Delete. When we receive your request to delete personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. We may withhold information where we are required by law to do so or if the search for that information would require disproportionate effort or have a disproportionate effect to, for example, the cost of providing the information, the time it would take to retrieve the data, or how difficult it may be to obtain the information requested.
If you are a resident of Europe and would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address provided below. If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may contact us or submit a complaint to the data protection authority in your jurisdiction. You can find your data protection regulator here.
Cross-Border Data Transfer. We may transfer your personal information to the United States, or to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy that are located in various countries around the world. When we collect information in one country and transfer it to another, to the extent possible, we will apply the same level of data protection required under the laws in the first country even when the data is in the second country.
We safeguard and enable the global transfer of personal information in a number of ways. For example, if you or your organization are required to enter into a contract or other binding legal act under EU, UK, or Swiss law with your processors, and we are acting as a processor for you, as the controller, you may request that we enter into a Data Processing Addendum with Standard Contractual Clauses. Please contact us at hello@theparallaxgrp.com for further information about any such transfers or the specific safeguards applied.
Data Security
We have implemented reasonable and appropriate measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
Retention of Personal Information.
We retain Personal Information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and as necessary to comply with our business and legal obligations. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
