We take reasonable steps to ensure that our Service Providers are obligated to reasonably protect your information on our behalf. These entities are restricted by written agreements from using this data in any way other than to provide services for us, or for the collaboration in which they and we are engaged (for example, some of our products are developed and marketed through agreements with other companies). Service Providers, furthermore, are prohibited from selling your Personal Information.

Privacy Rights for Certain Jurisdictions
Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are located or reside, you may also have the following additional rights with regard to your Personal Information:
- Access
You may have the right to request access to your Personal Information that we hold about you or confirmation that we have information about you. This right also enables you to receive a copy of such Personal Information from us.
- Rectification or Deletion
You may have the right to request rectification or erasure of your Personal Information. This right enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no legitimate reason for us continuing to process it. You also may have the right to have incomplete Personal Information completed. You may also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Please note that where we hold and process your Personal Information in order to comply with legal obligations, such as compliance with tax requirements and exemptions, or for the establishment exercise or defence of legal claims, your right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information is limited. We are not under an obligation to rectify or delete your Personal Information where to do so would prevent us from meeting our contractual obligations to you, or where we are required or permitted to process your Personal Information for legal purposes or otherwise in accordance with our legal obligations.
- Object to Processing
You may have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Information including for direct marketing purposes, or where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) in order to justify the basis for our processing your Personal Information and there is something about your particular situation which makes you wish to object to processing on this ground.

You may have the right to request that we restrict processing of your Personal Information. This right enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information under certain circumstances, e.g., if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

- Revocation Of Consent
Where we process your Personal information based upon consent, you may revoke consent. Please note, if you revoke your consent for the processing of Personal Information then we may no longer be able to provide you services.
If you want to exercise your rights, please contact us at the contact details below, setting out in writing your request clearly, including by specifying the Personal Data to which the request relates. We recommend that you provide as much detail as possible when sending your requests to us, and that you identify yourself clearly, so that we can deal with your query properly and efficiently. We do not discriminate against individuals who exercise their privacy rights under applicable law. If you disagree with how we handled a request, you may appeal our decision by contacting us with the subject line “Appeal.”
Note that, as required by law, we will require you to prove your identity. We may verify your identity by phone call or email. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, the last item you purchased from us, or the date of your last purchase from us. We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity. We will only send verification questions from privacy@bellsonglobal.com . Before sending a verification response, please double-check the email address. If you receive an email that appears to be from us but is not from our verification email address listed above, do not respond. Any information we gather through this process will only be used for consumer verification, security procedures, or fraud-prevention. Following a request, we will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you in our files.
In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us. If you are an authorized agent submitting a request on behalf of an individual, you must attach a copy of the following information to the request:
A letter or form signed by the individual indicating that you have authorization to act on the individual’s behalf.
If you are submitting the request on behalf of an individual located in California and are a business, proof that you are registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California.
If we do not receive both pieces of information, the request will be denied.
Retention
We may store the information we collect about you for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected, or as otherwise required by law. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the purposes for which we obtained the information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements.
Following termination or deactivation of a Bellson Global Services Account, we may retain your information and content for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, and audit purposes. After requests to delete or remove your information are received, removed information may persist in backup copies maintained for system restoration purposes, typically for a period of seven (7) years or such other period prescribed by local law. Backup and restoration copies will be deleted earlier if technologically feasible and allowed or required by retention policies or local law.
Transfer and Storage Of Your Information
Please note information we collect about you may be transferred, processed and/or accessed by us in the United States, European Union, UK, Hong Kong or another country where we, or our Service Providers operate. Please be aware your Personal information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state or country where privacy laws may differ from and may not be as protective as those where you live. If you are located outside the United States and choose to allow us to collect information about you, please be aware that Bellson Global may transfer your Personal Information to the United States or other country to process and store it there.
Please note that we may transfer information to a country or jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. Such countries or jurisdictions may include, without limitation, the United States and other countries in which we or our subsidiaries, affiliates or Service Providers maintain facilities. In order to provide adequate protection for the transfer of your Personal Information, we have in place contractual arrangements (as appropriate) with our subsidiaries, affiliates and Service Providers in respect of such transfers. Specifically, we have adopted the Standard Contractual Clauses published by the European Commission on 4 June, 2021. If you are located in the UK or the EEA, you may request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses we use for the transfer of your data outside of the UK or EEA, which includes the categories of information transferred by contacting us using the contact information below. We will take all reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard Personal Information we transfer in such situations.
Information Security
We take reasonable efforts to secure and protect the privacy, accuracy, and reliability of your information and to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We implement security measures as we deem appropriate and consistent with industry standards. As no data security protocol is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our systems or databases, nor can we guarantee that Personal Information we collect about you will not be breached, intercepted, destroyed, accessed, or otherwise disclosed without authorization. Accordingly, any information you transfer to or from our services is provided at your own risk. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your Personal Information, we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.
Please do your part to help us keep your information secure. You are responsible for maintaining control over operation of your Services, the confidentiality of your password and Services account(s), and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Services password or Services account(s). Please note that we may terminate your access to the Services and any license you have with Bellson Global related to our Services in the event it learns or suspects you have disclosed your Services account(s) or password information to an unauthorized third party.

The Bellson Global Services may link to other sites created and maintained by other public and/or private-sector organizations. Bellson Global provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving our Services, and our information management policies no longer apply. We encourage you to read the privacy statement of the websites you visit before you provide any Personal Information.
