If you access and use our websites from a location outside of the United States, any personal data you provide to us or that is otherwise collected may be transferred to and processed in the United States or any other jurisdiction in our sole discretion.

Users who access or use our websites from jurisdictions outside of the United States do so at their own choice and risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local law.
