- The Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission or the United Kingdom (as updated from time to time)
- Another lawful transfer mechanism provided for under the GDPR (e.g., Binding Corporate Rules)
Baz also monitors the circumstances surrounding such transfers to ensure that Personal Data continues to be afforded a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to the one guaranteed by the GDPR and UK GDPR.

c. Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sales of Personal Information and Sharing/Processing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising Purposes
Certain U.S. states provide residents with the ability to opt-out of the "sale" of their Personal Information or the "sharing/processing" of their Personal Information for cross-context behavioral and advertising purposes. As discussed above in Section 3(l), we may engage in certain online advertising activities through social media and by re-targeting advertising for our Services on other websites. We may use third-party ad networks to assist in these activities, which involves their collection of cookie and device identifier information to perform these activities. Under certain U.S. state laws, you have the right to opt-out of these activities. If you would like to opt-out of our online disclosure such as through cookie and pixel technology of your Personal Information for purposes that could be considered "sales" or "sharing" for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising, please click the ‘Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information’ link in the footer of the Baz.co website here. You can also submit a request to opt-out of our offline disclosures of Personal Information that are subject to applicable opt-out rights by clicking here. Please note that if you have a legally-required browser-based opt-out preference signal turned on via your device browser (e.g., the Global Privacy Control), we recognize such preference in accordance with applicable law.
d. To help protect the security of your Personal Data, Baz will verify your identity in connection with any requests. We also take steps to ensure that only you or your authorized representative can exercise rights with respect to your information. If you are an authorized agent making a request, we may require and request additional information to protect the Personal Data entrusted to Baz, including information to verify that you are authorized to make that request. There may be situations where we cannot grant your request, for example, in the event that your request would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (for example, would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others) or if we are legally entitled to deal with your request in a different way than initially requested, we will address your request to the maximum extent possible, all in accordance with applicable law.
e. We will not discriminate against you (e.g., by restricting or denying you access to our Services) because of choices and requests you make in connection with your Personal Data. Please note, certain choices may affect our ability to deliver the Services. For example, if you sign up to receive marketing communications by email, then ask Baz to delete all of your information, we will be unable to send you marketing communications. You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your Personal Information by contacting us using the details provided under the "CONTACT US" section below.

In the event that we become aware that you provide Personal Information in violation of applicable laws, we reserve the right to delete it.
