JagBandu takes appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal information are done in accordance with applicable law and carefully managed to protect your privacy rights and interests. Accordingly, transfers are limited to countries which are recognized as providing an adequate level of legal protection or where we can be satisfied that alternative safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights. In particular, we rely on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. You have a right to contact us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place. We implement and maintain reasonable security, appropriate to the nature of the personal information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process.

Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security. You are responsible for keeping your password for the Service confidential. Jagbandu requires you to not share your password with anyone. JagBandu requires you to not use the same password that you use on JagBandu on any other service. JagBandu will comply with applicable laws in the event of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your personal information and, where we consider appropriate or where required by applicable law, notify you via email, in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as it is consistent with any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
