LOB operates on a global basis and utilizes distributed infrastructure and authorized service providers to deliver the Services. Personal data may be collected, accessed, stored, and processed in the United States and in other jurisdictions where LOB or its authorized subprocessors maintain operations. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from, and in some cases may be less protective than, those of your country of residence.

Where personal data is transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions that impose cross-border transfer restrictions to countries not recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, LOB implements appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law. Such safeguards may include the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

LOB's Services are hosted on secure cloud infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which maintains industry-recognized security certifications, including SOC 2 compliance. LOB implements reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data and to ensure that international transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

  • Enterprise Customer Data is retained in accordance with the applicable DPA.
  • Biometric data (where processed) is retained only as long as strictly necessary and securely destroyed pursuant to written retention schedules.
