Privacy Statement
At TealBook®, we are committed to protecting individuals’ privacy and safeguarding personal information. The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you about the types of personal information TealBook® collects, uses, and discloses and the choices you have regarding your own information and its use and disclosure.
Your privacy is one of our priorities. We are proud to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, by complying with the laws and regulations under applicable privacy laws in Europe – notably, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Statement, which is current as of the “last revised” date at the end of this document. We will treat Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Statement under which it was collected, unless we have your consent to treat it differently. This Privacy Statement applies to any information we collect or receive about you, or from any other source.

We may transfer your Personal Information outside of the country for the Purposes, including for process and storage by service providers in connection with such Purposes. However, you should note that to the extent that any Personal Information is out of the country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country.

We generally obtain consent prior to collecting, and in any case, prior to using or disclosing Personal Information for any purpose. Consent may be granted to us either orally, electronically, or in writing. The form of consent that we seek, including whether it is express or implied, will largely depend on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the reasonable expectations of privacy, relative to the data and circumstances of use.
