User content: cPacket provides some opportunities for you to generate your own internet-based content about cPacket and our products and services. Typically, the personal information that you provide in this user content will be shared outside of cPacket as described below.
User-generated comments: cPacket’s website may contain areas where users can transmit or post communications, for example, on blogs or in user forums. Any personal information you submit there will be publicly available, and can be read, collected or used by other users, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. cPacket is not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in such public areas.

5. How Personal Data is Stored, Processed and Collected
Storage and processing of your personal data: cPacket may transfer personal data to, and store or process personal data in, countries other than the country in which the personal data originally was collected. Those countries may not have as comprehensive data protection laws as the country from which cPacket initially obtained the personal data. However, cPacket has executed agreements between and among cPacket entities operating in different countries that contain Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) as defined in the E.U. Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC) and as further authorized in the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) Article 46(5), to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place for the protection of personal data. Therefore, when we transfer, store or process personal data in other countries, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with the SCCs and this Privacy Statement.
Data Retention: cPacket retains your personal data as part of your individual customer record for a period of five years following any activity on your account. After that time, your record will be inactivated and then deleted in accordance with cPacket’s data retention practices. cPacket may retain personal data associated with orders, quotes, or other official business records for a longer period of time to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Security: cPacket puts in place appropriate physical, electronic and processes to safeguard and secure your data. These measures follow generally accepted industry standards both during transmission and once it is received. Since transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure, although cPacket will do its best to protect your personal data, the security of your data transmission to our website cannot be guaranteed.
Data compromise: In the event that your personal data under our control is compromised, cPacket will investigate the situation and take all steps required by applicable law. This includes notification of the competent data protection authority where applicable, and when appropriate notification of those individuals whose personal data may have been compromised. cPacket may take other steps in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
