THIRD PARTY LINKS

The Websites may contain links to webpages operated by parties other than CWL. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators.

Further, it is up to the User to take precautions to ensure that whatever links the User selects or software the User downloads (whether from this Site or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which the User will be subject to upon linking to the third party's website. CWL strongly recommends that each User review the third party's terms and policies.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

We are committed to complying with applicable laws, regulations and mandatory government standards regarding the protection of Personal Data.

Since we are a global organization, Personal Data and any additional information submitted may be used globally in connection with employment, business processes within CWL, or communicating with our clients. Therefore, Personal Data may be transferred to other CWL entities worldwide, where it will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and laws that are applicable in each country. Countries where we process data may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective, as the laws of your own country.

If we transfer your Personal Data out of your jurisdiction, we will implement suitable safeguards and rely on legally- provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders to ensure that your Personal Data is protected.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY

We restrict access to personal data collected about you at the Websites to our employees, personnel and those of our affiliates' employees, and to others who need to know that information to provide services to you or to us, or in the course of conducting our normal business operations.

While no website can guarantee security, we maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards intended to protect your personal data collected via the Websites.

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the User's Personal Data and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms.
