To the extent that you are a resident of a country other than the United States, you consent to the transfer of such data to the United States for processing by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

- we aim to limit our collection of personal data to only that personal data required for legitimate business purposes;
- we first request your explicit consent to process your personal data in cases requiring your consent; and
- we take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and also require these measures from parties that process personal data on our behalf.

3. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
Some mobile and web browsers transmit “do not track” signals. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether visitors intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. Our website does not respond to and does not support the Do Not Track (DNT) header request field.
4. Cookies

5. Data Retention and Security
Information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out above, in accordance with applicable laws. We are committed to the security of personal data. We take appropriate security measures to limit abuse of and unauthorized access to personal data.

9. Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your identity as well as the verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
- A list of the categories of personal information we disclosed about you for a business purpose.
California residents are also entitled once a year, free of charge, to request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of certain categories of personal data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Sales of Personal Information: We do not and will not sell your personal information.
Deletion Request Rights: You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms: Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites and other online services with which a user communicates. There is no industry standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. As described in Section 3, ATA currently does not take action in response to these signals.
No Discrimination: ATA will not discriminate against any consumer for exercising their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act.
