Please review the payment processor’s privacy notice to learn more about how they collect, process and protect your Personal Information.
(c) Legal, Compliance and Regulatory Purposes
We may disclose Personal Information if we believe that it is necessary to:

For information about retention periods for specific types of Personal Information, please contact us.
6. How We Protect Personal Information
At VORNADO, we take our responsibility to protect the security and privacy of Personal Information seriously. To prevent Personal Information from being lost, used, accessed, altered, or disclosed in an unauthorized or unlawful way, we have implemented what we believe to be reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data security practices that are appropriate to the volume and nature of the Personal Information at issue.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee that Personal Information is completely secure and safe from such risks. By using the Services, you understand and assume the risks associated with your activities on the Internet.
7. International Data Transfers
The Personal Information that we collect or receive may be transferred to and processed in countries located outside of your country of residence to the countries where we or our third-party service providers process it.

The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device, is active only while you are connected to the Services and is deactivated or deleted after you are no longer connected.
We use the term “Cookie” throughout this Privacy Policy to cover all these technologies.
