We will retain your personal information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in the above table unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
This is to:
- Provide you our Services.
- Employ you or provide you employment opportunities.
- Respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf.
- Keep records for as long as required or permitted by international, national or local law, or necessary for us to comply with a legal request from a national or local authority.
For how long we need to keep the data is determined by national or local law, our contractual commitments, and other such legal obligations, and so can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
When the purpose for which the personal information has been retained is fulfilled, we will stop using the personal information for that purpose. If the same data is not relevant for any other purpose we will delete the relevant personal information as soon as commercially reasonable in accordance with international standards and best business practices.
Security of information
Safeguarding the personal information you give us or we receive about you is important to us.
We use commercially reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the personal information we process from loss, theft, misuse, alteration and unauthorized access or destruction. In addition, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information in line with international standards and security best practices. Notably:
- All data transmitted by you personally is encrypted using the generally accepted and secure standard TLS (Transport Layer Security). TLS is a secure and proven standard that is also used, for example, for online banking. You can recognize a secure TLS connection by the “s” appended to http (i.e. https://..) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock symbol in the lower area of your browser.
- Your information is maintained in a secure environment and is encrypted at rest and we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Cheetah Digital by Marigold takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your information.
- We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we believe it is the right thing to do and/or where we are legally required to do so.
- We undergo independent audits annually to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of our systems and services processing your personal information. Our third party auditors examine our controls against internationally recognized standards and certification programs.
Access, disclosure and cross-border transfers
We maintain facilities and offices around the world, including in the United States, the UK, France, Germany, Australia and Japan. Your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from a location outside of your country or the country in which you were located when you initially volunteered the information. We take many steps to ensure the data is transferred or accessed securely and that us doing so is lawful under applicable data protection law.
For example, if your personal information is subject to EU and/or UK data protection laws we rely on model data transfer agreements as our legal mechanism for the cross-border flow of such data.
When a person or an organization works on our behalf to store data, maintain our systems, or help us perform services, we only choose people or organizations that will protect your personal information appropriately and use it only the way we ask them to. We require these partners and service providers to make that commitment through a contract, including through model data transfer agreements where appropriate.

Automated decision making and profiling:
Cheetah Digital by Marigold does not use automated means to evaluate or profile you or make decisions about you which have legal effects or otherwise significantly affect you.

California and the “sale” of personal information:
The California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) is a law that protects the personal information of people in California. However, it only applies to some personal information, because other information is protected by other laws. The CCPA uniquely concerns the “sale” of Californians’ personal information. What is a “sale” under the CCPA is broadly defined and can include the monetization of consumer data, including via cookies, by digital marketing and targeting advertising technology companies.
Cheetah Digital by Marigold ’s customers do not “sell” us personal information for us to provide them our Services, and we do not “sell” or rent personal information to third-parties. We may however disclose personal information to our service providers who act as sub-processors on our behalf.
