As a result, while We strive to protect Personal Data that is transmitted to Us and once we receive it, Exact cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of such information.

This Website may contain links to websites which are owned and operated by third parties that do not operate in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity before any Personal Data records will be made. This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. Your rights may be limited in certain situations, for example where we can demonstrate that we are legally obliged to process your data.

Your Personal Data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Where Personal Data is transferred outside the EEA We will make sure your data is protected to the same extend as in the EEA. We will transfer Personal Data to a country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA, the adequate countries by decision of the EU Commission, or We will ensure that appropriate Standard Contractual Clauses are in place for those countries with privacy laws that do not have adequate protection. To obtain a copy of the relevant transfer mechanism or additional information about transfers, please send your request to Us using the contact information outlined in the Contact Us section below.

Personal Data you provided will only be retained for as long as required for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.
