Disclosure and additional uses of your information
Sharing your information with a prospective or actual purchaser or seller: in the event we go through a business transition (such as a merger, acquisition by another company, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, including, without limitation, during any due diligence process), your Personal Data will likely be among the assets transferred. By providing your Personal Data, you agree that we may transfer such information in those circumstances without your further consent.
Transmission of information to us, while we take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is kept secure from unauthorized access, we cannot guarantee it will be secure during transmission by you. Transmission of information over the internet is not entirely secure, and if you submit any information to us over the internet (whether by email, via our website or any other means), you do so entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for any costs, expenses, loss of profits, harm to reputation, damage, liabilities or any other form of loss or damage suffered by you as a result of your decision to transmit information to us.
How long we retain your information: for as long as we have a legitimate business need or as needed to provide you with the Services, and for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

Sensitive personal information: we do not knowingly or intentionally collect sensitive personal data. Sensitive personal data is information about an individual that reveals their racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic information, biometric information for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual, information concerning health or information concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation. Please do not submit or disclose sensitive personal information to us.
Where we receive information about you from a third party in error and/or we do not have a legal basis for processing that information, we will delete your information.
European Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following information applies with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data and additional rights you have under applicable law.
Purposes of processing and legal basis for processing
We process personal data for the purposes described above. We process personal data on the following legal bases: (1) with your consent; (2) as necessary to perform our agreement to provide the Services; (3) as necessary for our legitimate interests in providing the Services where those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms related to data privacy; and (4) where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, we will also process, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary.
Transfers of your information outside the European Economic Area
We may transfer or store your personal information outside your jurisdiction, including to countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or your local legislature or regulator. In certain circumstances we will transfer your information outside the EEA or to an international organization to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject (compliance with a court order, for example). Where we are required to do so, we will ensure appropriate safeguards and protections are in place.
Your privacy rights and choices
These rights may include, under certain conditions and subject to any exceptions or limitations:
- The right to know what personal information is being collected and for what purpose.
- The right to know what personal information is being ‘sold’ or ‘shared’, for what purpose and the categories of recipients of your personal information.
- The right to opt out of the ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ of your personal information.
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request deletion of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
- The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
Your exercise of these rights is subject to certain exemptions to safeguard the public interest (e.g., the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g., the maintenance of legal privilege). If you exercise any of these rights, we will check your entitlement and respond in most cases within a month. You can exercise these rights by writing to NATDA, 2300 Clarendon Blvd., Ste. 305, Arlington, VA 22201, or sending a message through our contact form.
We hope to resolve any privacy concerns you may have. If you are not happy with our response, or you believe that your data protection or privacy rights have been infringed, you can complain to any supervisory authority or other public body with responsibility for enforcing privacy laws.
