2. How We Use Your Personal Data

As Data Controller:

As Data Controller, we use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will never sell your personal information to third parties without your consent. In addition to other uses outlined in this Privacy Policy, we may use your personal information to:

Send you marketing communications related to our business, including profiling related to direct marketing. Respond to inquiries or concerns you may have. Perform analytics and create a database to enhance your browsing experience and improve our services.

We may share your personal information with trusted Service Providers or our affiliated companies for payment processing, supplementing information, statistical analysis, marketing, hosting the site, indexing user profiles and usernames, and customer support. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except for these purposes and are required to maintain its confidentiality. If you do not wish for us to share your personal information with these third parties, please contact us at info@mjlclarivate.com.

For the purpose of global operations, we may transfer and access your personal information from around the world. This Privacy Policy applies even if we transfer your personal information to countries outside the European Union. After you place an order on our website, you will need to make payment for the services you have ordered. To process your payment, we use third-party payment processors, and the payment information you provide will only be used to process refunds.

To maintain the security and integrity of our site, we may monitor your personal information. We may also engage trusted third-party Service Providers for technical site management. Information submitted to us through the contact form on our website will be stored outside the European Economic Area on third-party servers. If necessary and solely for the purpose of providing services on our site, we may disclose your personal information to these third parties.

As Data Processor:

As a Data Processor, we will handle the information or data we collect through the Data Controller (“Business Partner”) according to their instructions and in compliance with the terms of the Controller/Processor Binding Agreement and relevant regulations. We will not transfer this information to any sub-processors unless we have obtained the Controller's prior written consent. If such consent has been granted, we will inform the Controller of any new sub-processor. We will also have the same contractual obligations towards the sub-processors as agreed with the Controller and be fully responsible for their actions.

Upon the Controller's written request, we will delete or return all personal information or data to them after the processing services are completed, unless there is a legal reason for us to retain a copy. This information will be stored on servers outside of the European Economic Area by our third-party hosting provider.

To maintain an appropriate level of security, we will implement suitable technical and organizational measures and provide the Controller with any necessary information to demonstrate our compliance. We will also allow the Controller or their appointed auditor to conduct audits to ensure that our processing meets regulations and protects the data subject's rights.
