        •  To perform such other processing or disclosure that may be required under the law or regulations; and

        •  To perform such other processes reasonably necessary or desirable for legitimate business purposes, including improvement and development of new products and services to consumers.

TECH1 does not and will not share personal data with a third party except as necessary for the proper execution of processes related to a declared purpose, or the use of disclosure is reasonably necessary, required or authorized by or under law. This means the company might provide personal data to the following:

        a. Existing and prospective business partners, service providers, and contractors, consistent with the purposes discussed above;

        b. Affiliates and subsidiaries of TECH1; and

        c. Law enforcement and government agencies. However, the foregoing may only use personal data for the purpose(s) disclosed in this Privacy Policy and may not use it for any other purpose.

You understand that you are given certain rights, including the right to object to processing of your data, the right to access your data, the right to correct any inaccurate data, the right to erasure or blocking of data, including the right to delete or revoke your consent to any of TECH1’s data processing activities.

TECH1 will not sell, trade or lease to third parties your personal data. Unless we have informed you otherwise and have obtained your express permission, or the law forces us to, we will only use the collected personal data within TECH1 or with business partners that act on our behalf. TECH1 will retain documents (including electronic documents) containing your personal data:

        a. to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
