International Transfers of Personal Information

We may use, disclose, process, transfer or store personal information outside the country in which it was collected, such as to the United States and other countries, which may not guarantee the same level of protection for personal information as the country in which you reside.

Additionally, there are situations when personal information is transmitted to third-party service providers (in the United States and/or other countries, including countries in which Anviz operates or has offices) to provide services for Anviz, such as payment processing and web hosting and other services required by law. Anviz uses third-party service providers to process personal information for service-related and administrative purposes. Such service providers are located in the United States and other locations where they provide their service.

We have implemented reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from damage, misuse, interference, loss, alteration, destruction, unauthorized or accidental use, modification, disclosure, access or processing, and other unlawful forms of processing data. However, please be aware no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. While we monitor and maintain the security of the Anviz Applications, we do not guarantee that the Anviz Applications or any products or services are impervious to attack or that any use of the Anviz Applications or any products or services will be uninterrupted or secure.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Information

We will retain your personal information for no longer than necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the information was originally collected unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law for legal, tax or regulatory reasons or other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Personal information collected for recruitment purposes will be retained for a reasonable period of time in accordance with applicable law, unless you are hired in which case some of this information will be retained in your employment record.
