4. International Data Transfers

As mentioned in our Privacy Statement, CloudResearch operates primarily in the United States, through servers located in the United States. When we transfer Personal Data outside the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, we ensure that:

  • The transfer is to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission or other applicable authority; or
  • The transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, binding corporate rules, or other legally acceptable mechanisms.

5. Cookie Management

For European Users, we will only use non-essential cookies with your explicit consent. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach. We will also communicate the personal data breach to you without undue delay, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms.

7. Data Retention Periods

We will store your Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you
  • Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject
