8. Residents Of The European Economic Area (“EEA”)

This Adoptee Life website has visitors from around the world, including in the EEA. If you are located in the EEA, your personal information is processed by our servers in the United States. 

If you are located in the EEA, you have certain rights under European law with respect to your personal data, including the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, port to another service provider, or object to certain uses of your personal data. If you are a member or a visitor on the This Adoptee Life website and wish to exercise these rights, please reach out to us by sending us an email at thisadopteelife84@gmail.com

If you are unhappy with the response that you receive from us we hope that you would contact us to resolve the issue but you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction at any time.

Additionally, if you are located in the EEA, we note that we generally process your information in order for you to leave a comment on our website or blog, make a purchase, contact us, or provide us with information for an article unless we are required by law to obtain your consent for a particular processing operation. We specifically process your personal data to pursue the following legitimate interests, either for ourselves or other third parties for advertising.

  • To prevent risk and fraud on our platform;
  • To provide communications, marketing, and advertising;
  • To provide reporting and analytics;
  • To provide support services, troubleshooting, and to answer questions;
  • To improve our services and website.

When we process personal information to pursue these legitimate interests, we do so where we believe the nature of the processing, the information being processed, and the technical and organizational measures employed to protect that information can help mitigate the risks to the data subject.

9. How Do We Protect Your Personal Information Across Borders?

While This Adoptee Life is a website based in the United States and only stores data in the United States, our technology processes data from users around the world. Accordingly, This Adoptee Life may transmit your personal information outside of the country, state, or province in which you are located. Transferred data may be subject to the laws of those countries. This Adoptee Life does not transfer or store data in countries that do not have a robust regime of data protection.

If you are located in the EEA or in Switzerland, and believe that your personal information has been used in a manner that is not consistent with the relevant privacy policies listed above, please contact us at thisadopteelife84@gmail.com. If your complaint or dispute remains unresolved, you may also contact the International Centre for Dispute Resolution®, the international division of the American Arbitration Association® (ICDR/AAA). This organization provides independent dispute resolution services, at no charge to you. ICDR/AAA can be contacted at http://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html.

10. Control Over And Access To Your Personal Information
