We might disclose your personal data to third parties if you have consented to it or if there are other legal grounds for it.

How we secure your data

We do our best to keep your personal data safe. We use safe protocols for communication and transferring data (such as TLS/SSL). We use anonymising and pseudonymising where suitable. We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.

Even though we try our best we cannot guarantee the 100% security of information. However, we promise to notify suitable authorities of data breaches. We will also notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests. We will do everything we reasonably can to prevent security breaches and to assist authorities should any breaches occur.

If you have an account with us, note that you have to keep your username and password secret.

Transfer of personal data outside EU/EEA

Sliptree may use subcontractors when providing its services. When necessary and to the extent required for the successful provision of the services, personal data may be transferred to a country outside of the EU/EEA. In this case we will use the required established mechanisms that allow the transfer to subcontractors in those thirds countries, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

We will rely on the so-called Privacy Shield for those service providers located in the U.S that are Privacy Shield-certified.
