YOUR CHOICES
You may access your Personal Data through our support by calling or emailing us, using the credentials specified on the Website. VMK GROUP UA, LLC will be responsible for responding to your requests, including under the GDPR and the local states data protection laws. Please bear in mind that we ensure the above-mentioned rights only with respect to the information that we physically access and store or if we have a technical opportunity to ensure your rights.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
We process information on servers in many countries around the world and you consent to your Personal Data being processed on a server located outside the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective). However, VMK Group has taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected under this Privacy Policy, including, utilizing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between its group companies and service providers, which requires all group companies to protect personal information being processed from the European Economic Area to an equivalent standard to that required under European Union data protection law.
RETENTION
We generally retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfill all the purposes stated in this Policy and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your Personal Data that we physically access and store, you can request that we erase your Personal Data.
Even if you requested the erasure, some data may still be stored for a certain period (but no longer than the storage purpose requires) if the information is necessary to comply with legal obligations (taxation, accounting, audit), or to maintain safety and data backup settings, prevent fraud or other malicious acts, or keep your choices about privacy, for example, if you unsubscribe from our marketing communications.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy on this page and we encourage you to check back regularly for any updates. Your continued use of our Websites and services after any changes have been made will indicate your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy, unless your expressed consent is required according to applicable law.
