We implement and maintain reasonable security measures to protect the personal information we collect and maintain from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.

8. AGE RESTRICTION
The Services are not intended for individuals under the age of sixteen (16).

9. CROSS BORDER TRANSFER
We may transfer your personal information to recipients in countries outside of the European Economic Area that may have differing data protection laws. This includes countries which the EU Commission does not consider to have an adequate level of protection for personal data. If this occurs, we will ensure there is a legal ground for the transfer in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. You will also be informed about the legal ground, what safeguards were implemented, and where you can obtain a copy of information on these safeguards. Swoogo and our client (Controller) have executed a data processing agreement that includes Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission that govern the transfer of your personal information outside of the EEA, which we will provide to you upon your request.
Swoogo participates in, and adheres to, the principles of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF) and, as applicable, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF), and to the rights of EU and UK individuals and Swiss individuals. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/. A list of companies that comply with these Frameworks is available here. To view our certification, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list and search for “Swoogo”.
Swoogo is committed to follow the DPF Principles in handling all personal data received from the European Union, the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar), and Switzerland in reliance on the relevant parts of the DPF program. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Notice and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles (collectively, the “DPF Principles”), the Principles shall govern. With respect to onward transfers of data subject to the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF, Swoogo remains liable for processing such transfers in accordance with the DPF Principles. Swoogo is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In certain situations, Swoogo may be required to disclose Personal Information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
In compliance with the DPF Principles, Swoogo commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information transferred to the United States pursuant to the DPF Principles. European Union, Swiss, and United Kingdom individuals with DPF inquiries or complaints should first contact:
Swoogo has also committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the DPF Principles to an independent dispute mechanism, provided free of charge, through JAMS, an Independent Dispute Resolution Body based in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your DPF Principles-related complaint from us, or if your DPF Principles-related complaint was not resolved to your satisfaction, please follow JAMS instructions found here. Under limited circumstances, and after other available dispute resolution mechanisms have been exhausted, you may be able to invoke binding arbitration to address complaints about our compliance with the DPF Principles.
