  HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We also consider the minimum necessary retention period prescribed by applicable laws, recommended by industry standards, and stated in contracts and other legal obligations.

  OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  The following additional information relates to our privacy practices:

  Transmission Of Information To Other Countries.  We provide products and services globally, and need to share information with our affiliates in order to do so.  Additionally, our corporate headquarters is located in the United States, and so information needs to be transferred from other countries to the United States in order to manage the group.  As a result your information may be processed in a foreign country where privacy laws may be less stringent than the laws in your country. In order to provide adequate protection for the transfer of your personal information, we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and similar mechanisms to facilitate the transfer of content that contains personal information from the European Economic Arena (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (UK), to jurisdictions (including locations within the United States) not considered to provide adequate protection to personal information by the UK and countries in the EEA, where necessary and as required. If you have questions about such mechanisms or would like to request copies of the same, you can contact us using the contact information below.

  Information for California Residents. If you would like more information concerning the categories of personal information (if any) we disclose to third parties or affiliates for those parties to use for direct marketing please submit a written request to us using the information in the "Contact Information" section below.

  Children's Privacy. Panavision will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from or about children under the age of 13 and our websites and our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. If a child under 13 submits personal information to Panavision and we learn that the information is from a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. In addition, Panavision does not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under the age of 16.

  Changes To This Notice. We may change our Notice and practices over time. To the extent that our policy changes in a material way, the policy that was in place at the time that you submitted personal information to us will generally govern that information. Our Notice includes an “effective” and “last updated” date. The effective date refers to the date that the current version took effect. The last updated date refers to the date that the current version was last substantively modified.
