8. EU Data Subject Rights

Individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) and other jurisdictions have certain legal rights, subject to applicable exceptions and limitations, to obtain confirmation that we hold certain information about them, to access that information, and to have it corrected or deleted in appropriate circumstances.

You may have the right to object to our processing of your information, restrict our processing of your information, and withdraw any consent you have provided. To exercise these rights, please email us at primafacie@trv.website with the nature of your request.

9. California Privacy Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act ("CPRA"), and other California privacy laws, California residents have certain rights in relation to the collection, use, and sharing of their personal information. For example, if you are a California resident, you have the right to request to know what personal information we have collected about you and to access that information. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, although exceptions under the law may allow us to retain and use certain personal information notwithstanding your deletion request.

10. International Transfers

As described above in the "Disclosures and/or Sharing of Information" section, we may share your information with trusted service providers and products or business partners in countries other than your country of residence in accordance with applicable law. This means that some of your information may be processed in countries that may not offer the same level of protection as the privacy laws in your jurisdiction. By providing us with your information, you acknowledge such transfer, storage, or use.

As set out in the "EU Data Subject Rights" section, if we provide information about you to third-party information processors located outside the UK and/or EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that these companies adequately protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and other data protection laws governing transfers of such data.

11. Security Facilities

We have implemented technical measures, including the use of firewalls, and other organizational security measures to protect you from the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary depending on the sensitivity of the information we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent any unauthorized attempts to access, use, or disclose your information, because despite our efforts, no Internet transmission and/or other electronic transmission can be completely secure, and you should take this into account when submitting personal or confidential information about yourself or others on the Internet site or elsewhere.

12. Children

The services and products are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age and are not directed to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information (as defined by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under the age of 13, or personal data (as defined by the EU GDPR) from children under the age of 16, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.

13. Data Retention

We retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or for as long as we are legally required or permitted to do so. Information may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for a longer period of time.

Therefore, as stated in the " Information Provided Directly" section, the data you have provided to us directly will not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and in general, we will keep this data for a period of 2 years after the termination of your qualification or relationship with us. In some cases, it is not possible for us to specify in advance the periods for which the data provided to us will be retained. Notwithstanding this, we may retain, process and use your data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or contractual obligation to which we are subject, to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person, or for other applicable legitimate interests.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites/applications (e.g., social media sites like Instagram and Twitter), third-party plug-ins (e.g., Facebook's "Like" and Twitter's "Follow" button), and other services.
