Exercising Your California Privacy Rights

Once we receive your request, we will validate the information that you provide and send a message to the email address you provide in the request, asking you to verify that it is your email address. Please follow the instructions in that email to verify your email address. We will begin processing your request once the verification is completed.
Janus will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving your verifiable request. The time to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.
Please note that if you do not include the necessary information concerning you in your requests, we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.
We are making reasonable efforts to provide you with an appropriate level of security at the risk associated with the processing of your personal information. We employ organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to appropriately protect your personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, or abuse. Your personal information may only be accessed by a limited number of personnel who need access to such information in order to perform their duties. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If You have a reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored personal information to you via email or conspicuous posting on our Website in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system, and any other disclosures that may be required under applicable law.
We also take measures to delete your personal information or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you when this information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of products and services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with our products or services, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.
Your personal information may be retained for as long as is reasonably necessary to perform the purposes listed under the "How Janus Use Personal Information" section.
Generally, upon the termination of these Terms your data will get deleted from active database during the next clean-up that occurs once in 6 months.
We retain personal information after we cease providing Services to you to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. We also retain personal information to comply with our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations, where we are required to retain the data due to our contractual commitments to our financial and business partners, and where data retention is mandated by the applicable laws. Where we retain data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law. Aggregated data is used by Janus for analysis, product improvement, and troubleshooting purposes.
The servers and databases in which information may be stored may be located outside the country from which you accessed our Services and, in a country where the data protection and other laws may differ from your country of residence. Your personal information may be disclosed in response to inquiries or requests from government authorities or to respond to judicial processes in the countries in which we operate.
Some of your personal data may be transferred, stored, and/or processed outside of European Union and UK as our Sub-processors sometimes operate from outside of these jurisdictions.
In some cases, when Janus uses the Sub-processors who support Janus in its business activities, personal information may also be accessed or processed outside the EU and UK. When the personal information we collect is processed outside the EU or UK, we have obligations to ensure that personal information is only processed outside the EU or UK where the European Commission has decided that the territory in question ensures an adequate level of protection (known as a ‘whitelisted’ territory) or, in the absence of a decision by the European Commission, there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect your personal data.
For example, if your personal data is accessed or processed from a territory outside the EU that is not whitelisted, the appropriate safeguards may be provided by standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission (known as ‘standard contractual clauses).
We will only transfer your data outside of the UK and the EU in compliance with data protection laws and provided appropriate or suitable safeguards are in place to protect your data, Standard Contractual Clauses.
Personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage Service Providers. We may transfer personal information that we maintain about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the personal information was originally collected, including to the United States. Those countries may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. However, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your personal information remains protected to the standards described in this Policy. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal information.
