Collection of Data and Transfer Outside the United States. Ostendo is a company headquartered in the United States. The Site is primarily controlled and operated from the United States (unless you are accessing the Site from outside of the United States, in which case the Site may be localized for your jurisdiction); however information collected about you or your use of our products or services may be collected, stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. Some of these jurisdictions, including the United States, may not provide an equivalent level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. When we transfer and process information about you or your use of our products or services to other countries, we will protect it as described in this Policy and in accordance with the requirements of local law, including, where applicable, the more stringent standards set forth in certain jurisdictions such as the European Economic Area (EEA). By using the Site, you acknowledge and consent to any such transfer, storage, or use of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States. We will endeavor to take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it, including through appropriate written data processing terms and/or data transfer agreements. If you are in the EEA, you may have the right to obtain details about the mechanism under which your information is transferred to a third country. For more information about these transfer mechanisms, please contact us as set out in the Contact Information section below.

We may rely on various legal grounds to collect, use, and otherwise process your information, including: your consent; that the information is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; to comply with a legal obligation; to protect your, or someone else’s vital interests; or for a legitimate interest that is balanced against your rights and interests. These legitimate interests may include Ostendo’s interest in improving its products and services, enhancing safety and security, protecting Ostendo or its business partners against wrongful conduct, and responding to customer inquiries and claims. Where applicable, we will take reasonable efforts to inform you whether and why we need certain information from you, for example, whether we need the information to fulfill a legal or contractual requirement and what the consequences are of not providing the information.

Minors. Our products and services are not directed to individuals under the age of thirtee (13), and we request that these individuals not provide any information to Ostendo. To respect the privacy of children and to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, if you are under the age of eighteen (18), you should only use the Site with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
