How Long Will We Keep Your Information For?
We will retain your personal data for the duration of our service provision to you and will not retain it longer than strictly necessary.

Personal Information Transferred from EEA and/or Switzerland:
We may share your personal data with entities within the ThriveNewsWire group. As an international organization headquartered in the USA, this may involve transferring your personal data outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Some third parties to whom we transfer your personal data are also based outside of the EEA, so their processing of your personal data will similarly involve a transfer outside the EEA. When your personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, we ensure that appropriate mechanisms are in place to safeguard your personal information. This includes using specific contracts approved by the European Commission to afford your personal data the same protection as it has in Europe.

Such transfers may occur by or to us in our capacity as a data processor or as a data controller:

• Processor: ThriveNewsWire provides software, services, and tools to assist customers in managing all aspects of their marketing and PR campaigns. As a processor, ThriveNewsWire receives information transferred from the EU to the US solely as a processor on behalf of its customers. However, such information may not be required by ThriveNewsWire.
• Data Controller: ThriveNewsWire also offers information products designed to help customers research and plan their campaigns more effectively. In this capacity, ThriveNewsWire acts as a data controller of the personal information contained in these products and processes this personal information as a data controller.

Legal Basis for Processing:
We only use your personal data when permitted by law. This includes circumstances such as:

• Where processing your information is necessary to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where processing your information is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
• Where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, provided such interests do not override your rights and interests.
• Where we have obtained your consent.
