Personal Information collected on this Site may be stored and processed in the Netherlands, the United States, Canada, or any other country in which Food Forces (or its affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions and their respective third party business partners and suppliers) maintain facilities. This may include transfer to countries without data protection rules similar to those in effect in your country of residence. You acknowledge and agree that by providing Personal Information to Food Forces through this Site, you consent to the transmission of such Personal Information over international borders as necessary for processing your requests.
Due to the existing legal, regulatory, and security environment, Food Forces may be required, under certain circumstances, to disclose aggregate level and/or personally identifiable information submitted to Food Forces through the Site. Food Forces will use reasonable efforts to limit such disclosures to the following circumstances:
(i) where Food Forces believes in good faith that it is required to do so in response to a subpoena or other legal process;
(ii) where reasonably required to do so in order to maintain, update or otherwise implement Food Forces’s data security measures, equipment, technical operations and the like;
