The type of consent we may rely on in processing your Personal Data will vary based on your reasonable expectations, the sensitivity of your Personal Data, and the circumstances surrounding the collection of your Personal Data. Express consent is when you willingly agree (e.g., orally, in writing, or electronic agreement) to the processing of your Personal Data for particular purposes.

For certainty, by accessing or using our Services, you hereby consent to our processing of your Personal Data pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

6. Disclosure of Personal Data

(a) General. When we disclose your Personal Data to third parties, we take reasonable measures to ensure that these third parties implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
