Data protection and privacy laws around the globe, including those of the EEA, EU Member States, United Kingdom and certain countries in Asia and the American continents, and those countries deemed by the European Union and others to provide “adequate” or “equivalent” protections, require Take The Magic Step® to provide you with certain information applicable to its collection of your personal data.

Should for any reason transfer personal information outside of a local jurisdiction, it shall only be done with adequate protections in place and in compliance with applicable laws and standards. For data transfers to the U.S. from the E.U., or otherwise, Take The Magic Step® complies with all applicable laws and standards in the U.S. & E.U (and as it may be amended over time) regarding the collection, use, retention and disclosure of personal information from the E.U. and E.E.A. to the U.S., and certifies its adherence to the law and these policy principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, enforcement, and the applicable supplemental principles.
