Transfers of Personal Data to Third Countries

We are headquartered in the United States. However, both the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the so-called UK GDPR (together, “GDPR”) may apply to our processing of Personal Data due to the nature of our processing operations concerning individuals in the European Economic Area and/or the United Kingdom (together, “EEA+”).
Some of the third party recipients noted above who receive your Personal Data may be located in countries outside the EEA+.
In some cases, the European Commission and/or the UK Government (as and where applicable) may not have determined that the legal environment in certain of those countries provides a level of data protection that is essentially equivalent to the level of protection provided under the GDPR and other applicable laws in the EEA+ (such countries, “Restricted Countries”).

Where we transfer your Personal Data to a recipient in a Restricted Country, we will either:

  • enter into an appropriate data transfer / processing agreement with such recipient, which incorporates the so-called Standard Contractual Clauses issued or approved from time-to-time under the GDPR by the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office and/or the UK Government (as and where applicable); or
  • rely on other appropriate transfer mechanisms permitted by the GDPR (e.g., your explicit consent to that transfer).
You may ask for a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses referred to above by contacting us using the contact details provided below.

HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA

We may also disclose your Personal Data:

  • to the extent required by law or if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings initiated by governmental and/or law enforcement officials, or private parties, including but not limited to: in response to subpoenas, search warrants, or court orders;
  • if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our company’s business interests, assets, or both, or in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, or other company change;
  • if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of ChromaDex, our customers, our suppliers, or others;
  • to our subsidiaries or affiliates only if necessary for business and operational purposes.
  • for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information;
  • with your consent.

We reserve the right to use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data, which does not include any Personal Data, about the users of our services as a group for any legal business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and seeking compatible advertisers, sponsors, clients, and customers.

If we must disclose your Personal Data in order to comply with official investigations or legal proceedings initiated by governmental and/or law enforcement officials, we may not be able to ensure that such recipients of your Personal Data will maintain the privacy or security of your Personal Data.
