5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

Pamex generally stores your information on our servers for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).  When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it.  If this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We have implemented security measures that meet industry standards and are designed to protect the security of any Personal Information we collect and process.  However, please remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure.  Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, transmission of Personal Information to and from Pamex Products & Services is at your own risk.  You should only access Pamex Products & Services within a secure environment.

Pamex is based in the United States, but your Personal Information may be collected, processed, and stored by Pamex or its service providers in the US or other countries where our servers reside.  Please be aware that the privacy protections and legal requirements, including the rights of authorities to access your Personal Information, in some of these countries may not be equivalent to those in your country.  If you are using Pamex Products & Services in the EEA or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from United States law, you agree to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and other countries where Pamex operates.

International Data Transfers

When we transfer personal data from the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK to other countries, including to the US, we use various legal mechanisms to help ensure your data is appropriately protected.  Pamex complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework (the “Privacy Shield”) set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, sharing, and retention of Personal Information from the EEA, Switzerland, or UK to the US.  We adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles (the “Principles”).

As part of our participation in Privacy Shield, if you have a dispute with us about our adherence to the Principles, you may refer a complaint to your local data protection authority and we will work with them to resolve your concern.  (In certain circumstances, the Privacy Shield Framework provides the right to invoke binding arbitration to resolve complaints not resolved by other means, as described in Annex I to the Privacy Shield Principles.)  If you have a Privacy Shield-related complaint, please contact us at privacy@pamexinc.com.

Privacy Shield participants are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the US Federal Trade Commission and other authorized statutory bodies.  Under certain circumstances, participants like us may be liable for the transfer of Personal Information from the EEA, Switzerland, or UK to third parties outside the EU.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES?

If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can do so by logging into your account to change the settings directly or by contacting us using the contact information provided below.  Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases as soon as is practical, but some information may be retained in our files for our records or to comply with legal requirements.

Some information is processed and stored directly on the Products.  Personal Information from the Products is encrypted while it is being transmitted to Pamex.  You can delete the information on the Products by resetting it to the defaults.  In addition, Product owners may request deletion of activity logs, including guest information, unless such information is required to be maintained in order to fulfill an existing legally required purpose. If you are a guest or visitor to a home where you used a Pamex Product or Service and wish to exercise your data subject rights regarding your personal data, then please contact the product owner directly, as we can only fulfill such requests when expressly authorized by the Product owners.  We may not accept a request to modify or erase your personal data where we cannot verify your personal data, where we require it to comply with a legal obligation, or in relation to a legal claim.  For additional information about how to requests to exercise your rights, please see contact us at the information provided below.

If you access Pamex Products & Services through a mobile device and you do not wish to share location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your mobile device.
