Some browsers offer similar settings for HTML5 local storage and other technologies. However, if you block or otherwise reject cookies, local storage, JavaScript or other technologies, certain websites (including some of our own websites) may not function as expected.

If you replace, change, upgrade or reset your browser or device, or delete your cookies, you may need to use these opt-out tools again. We do not respond to browser-based do-not-track signals.

We are headquartered in the United States, and recipients of the data disclosures described in this Privacy Policy are located in the United States and elsewhere in the world, including where privacy laws may not provide as much protection as the laws of the country where you live. However, this Privacy Policy applies to CultureScience’s operations worldwide. CultureScience complies with applicable legal requirements for protecting the movement of data across borders, including through the use of EuropeanCommission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses. Please note that our customers may transfer personal data to CultureScience on the basis of legal mechanisms approved by the European Commission and other relevant authorities for transferring data across borders, such as Standard Contractual Clauses. If you wish to exercise a right to see the mechanisms that CultureScience uses to transfer data to third parties, please contact us.

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and similar laws require data controllers to explain the legal bases that justify their processing of your personal information. To the extent such rules apply, our legal bases are:

a. In many cases, our processing your personal     information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others. For example, we may process your personal information on this legal basis to:

b. In some cases, processing your personal information is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations. For example, we will process certain personal information to comply with tax laws.

c. In some cases, we process your personal information to perform our obligations pursuant to a contract with you or to take steps in anticipation of entering into such a contract. For example, we     may process personal information on this basis to:  

- Administer your account, including to process your registration and verify your information; and  
- Complete transactions with you.  

d. In other cases, we process your personal information based on your consent. For example, in some cases the following activities will be performed on the basis of consent:

You can unsubscribe from CultureScience marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or contacting us at support@culturescience.io, and you can make certain choices regarding the use of cookies and similar technology as described in section 1 above.

Depending on which laws apply to particular situations, residents of the European Economic Area, the UK, and some other jurisdictions have certain additional legal rights to do the following with personal information we handle:
‍
- obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal information about them, and receive information about how it is used and disclosed;
- obtain a copy of the personal information, and in some cases, receive it in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or have it transmitted to a third party in such form;
- update, correct or delete the information;
- object to the use or disclosure of the information;·
- withdraw consent previously provided for the handling of the information (without affecting the lawfulness of prior use and disclosure of the information); and
- obtain a restriction on the use of the information.

For example, individuals whose personal information is subject to the GDPR have a right to opt out of our handling of their personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Many of the rights described above are subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or raise a complaint about our handling of your personal information, please contact us as described at the end of this Privacy Policy. You also have a right to file a complaint about our privacy practices with the relevant supervisory authority, but we respectfully invite you to contact us first, as we would like to do our best to resolve any concern you may have.

To help protect personal information, we have put in place physical, technical, and administrative safeguards. However, we cannot assure you that data that we collect under this Privacy Policy will never be used or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Privacy.

We will retain personal data as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless the law requires us to keep it for a longer period of time. To provide security and business continuity for the activities described in this Privacy Policy, we make backups of certain data, which we may retain for longer than the original data.
