(5) International
data transfers
Information
that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between
any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use
the information in accordance with this privacy policy.
If you are in the European Union, information which you provide may be transferred to countries (including the United States) which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Union. You expressly agree to such transfers.
We will take
reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss,
misuse or alteration of your personal information.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
You may instruct

Provision of such information may be subject to the payment of a fee
(currently fixed at €20).
You may instruct us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes by email (support@sailclever.com) at any time. (In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.)
The website
contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy
policies or practices of third party websites.
