9. To help us create and publish content most relevant to you; and

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED
SCDC will never sell or rent any of your personal information, and we will never share your personal information publicly without your consent. However, from time to time, SCDC may engage other trusted third party companies and individuals to perform functions such as sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), and providing customer service. Such companies shall only use your personal information for those purposes required to perform their functions and you consent to SCDC sharing your personal information with such companies so they can perform their functions. For example, we may store the information described above with a third-party data storage service to support delivery of our Products and Services, and to respond to customer service requests. Whenever we share data with third-party services, we require that they use your information only for the purposes we’ve authorized, and that they protect your personal information at least to the same standards we do.
We also reserve the right to disclose personal information when it is reasonably necessary to conduct our business, protect SCDC’s legal rights and property, and to comply with the law or law enforcement. Otherwise, your personal information is never shared with any individual or other organization.
PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We take the security of your personal information seriously, and follow industry-standard practices to protect the data we collect and process. SCDC has therefore put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information that SCDC collects. Access to personal information will be restricted to our authorized personnel who require the information in order to perform their duties properly. In addition, access will be limited to only that information that is strictly necessary for the performance of those duties.
Remember, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen, or where we have given you a user name and password for access to certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping the user name and password confidential. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so SCDC cannot guarantee its absolute security.
DATA TRANSFERS
Because SCDC is a US-based company, your information may be collected and processed in the United States. Additionally, as part of the products and services offered to you through our Site, the information which we collect about you may be transferred to, and stored in, one or more countries other than where you currently reside. For example, this may occur if any of our servers or third-party service providers are located in a country other than yours. These countries may have different data protection laws that are similar to your current residence. However, if we transfer your information in this way, we will put in place appropriate protection to make sure your personal data remains adequately protected and is treated in line with this Privacy Policy.
COOKIES AND TRACERS
We may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, ad tags and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off and across the Site and different Services and devices. A cookie is a small file that is placed onto your device (e.g., computer, smartphone or other electronic device) that stores information when you visit a website. However, you can control cookies through your browser settings and other tools. You can also opt-out from our use of cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for third party advertising. Neither the Site nor the Services respond to Do Not Track signals. SCDC uses cookies and related technologies on our Site to help us recognize your device as a repeat visitor, and enable certain website features and functionalities. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually. Specifically, we use cookies and other similar technologies on the Site to:

DO NOT TRACK
Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative that has developed a "flag" or signal that an Internet user may activate in the user’s browser software to notify websites that the user does not wish to be "tracked" by third-parties as defined by the initiative. Our websites do not alter their behavior when we receive a "Do Not Track" signal from browser software. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other similar mechanisms.
YOUR PREFERENCES
In certain cases, you may be able to limit the types of communications you receive and certain sharing of your Personal Information.
EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS
We try to keep email communications to a minimum, and give you the ability to opt out of any marketing communications we send. For example, we may send you email relating to the Products or Services that we offer. You may also elect to receive certain marketing email communications, in accordance with your preferences, and from which you may opt out at any time. You can always opt out of receiving email information or mobile device notifications from SCDC (other than certain required communications informing you of the completion of a purchase, user registration, correction of user data, or change of password), by adjusting your user preferences in your account profile if you are a registered user, or by sending us an email at info@terraequitygroup.com stating your request. If we have sent you a promotional email or mobile device notification, you may send us a return email or mobile device communication asking to be omitted from future email or mobile device distributions. This opt out does not apply to information provided to SCDC as a result of a purchase of the Products or Services, product service experience, or other transactions.
RETENTION
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary to perform the relevant processing activity for that information, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us. This is a case by case determination that depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected, why it is processed, and any relevant legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain your data for as long as you maintain an account on our Site so that we may process and deliver your orders. We may also be legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. When the relevant processing activity has been completed, we may destroy your data, or alternatively anonymize the data in such a way that you are not personally identifiable, either directly or indirectly.
INTERNATIONAL USERS
If you are located outside the United States of America, and your location has laws governing data collection and use that differ from U.S. law, note that you are transferring your personal information to the U.S., and in such context, you are consenting to such transfer by providing your personal information.
