Security

Chrono takes technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure, and so we cannot ensure or warrant the security of that information.

International Transfer of Your Information

When you use our products and services, information about you will be transferred to the United States where the majority of Chrono’s data processing occurs. We may also transfer information that we collect about you to third party processors across borders from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

Chrono uses appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal data collected in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom and Switzerland, as required by applicable local law, including the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Marketing Practices and Choices

If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs, to capture data, such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.

Legal Bases for Processing Your Information

Our legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a data protection and privacy regulation in the European Union, for collecting and using your information described above will depend on the particular type of information and the specific context in which we collect it.

We explain when Chrono may disclose information in How We Share Your Information. Chrono does not sell your personal information.

State laws like the CCPA and VCDPA also provide the right to request information about how Chrono collects, uses, and discloses your information. And they give you the right to access and correct your information, and to request that Chrono delete that information. The VCDPA also provides the right to opt out of certain forms of profiling and targeted advertising. The CCPA and VCDPA also provide the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these privacy rights. Chrono supports these requests via its Global Privacy Request Form.

If you disagree with the decision on your request, you can ask Chrono to reconsider it by responding to the team’s email.
