We may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, then, in addition to the uses listed in the "How We Collect Other Information" section above, we may use and disclose Other Information for all the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information.
In some instances, we may combine Other Information with Personal Information. If we do, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.
This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or other online service to which this Site contains a link. The inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.
We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in accordance with the "Contact Us" section below.
You may opt out from receiving marketing emails from us by following the instructions contained in each such email. If you opt out, we may still send you important administrative messages.
If you would like to review, correct, update, suppress, delete or otherwise limit our use of the Personal Information you have provided to us, you may contact us at equity@gust.com. In your request, please make clear what information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your Personal Information suppressed from our database or otherwise let us know what limitations you would like to put on our use of your Personal Information. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Information associated with the email address you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. You may also be able to access your online profile and preferences through the Site, so that you can update them yourself.
Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to your request. There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.
We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that these individuals not provide Personal Information through the Site.
The Site is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States.
Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and, by using the Site, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country.
We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive Personal Information (e.g., Social Security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health or criminal background) on or through the Site or otherwise to us.
We may change this Privacy Policy. The "LAST UPDATED" legend above indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Site. Your use of the Site following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at equity@gust.com or 44 West 28th St, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001 USA. Because email communications are not always secure, please do not include credit card or other sensitive information in your messages to us.
