We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

14. Additional Information for Residents of Other States

Residents of certain U.S. states, other than California, have rights under comprehensive state privacy laws with respect to the Personal Information, also known as personal data, that we collect about them. This section supplements this Privacy Policy and applies solely to eligible residents of U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws that are in effect and apply to our processing of their Personal Information.

Personal Data We Collect And How We Use It

International Data Transfers

As MPS is headquartered in the United States, your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, a country whose data protection laws differ from those of your country of residence. We may also transfer your Personal Data to other countries whose data protection laws may not provide the same level of protection as the laws in your country of residence in compliance with applicable laws.

Data Subject Rights

Under the GDPR, you have a number of rights in relation to the processing of your Personal Data. You may exercise any of these rights free of charge, unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.

• Right of Access: You have the right to request access to the Personal Data we hold about you, including the right to obtain a copy of such data.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of any inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure: You have, under certain circumstances, the right to request the erasure of your Personal Data, for example, when we no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes for which it was collected; when you consented to the Processing of your Personal Data, but have now withdrawn your consent; when we processed your Personal Data unlawfully; or when we are legally required to delete it pursuant to a legal obligation we are subject to.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request the restriction of Processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, for example where you contest the accuracy of the Personal Data or where the Processing is unlawful. In such a case, except for storage, we will only Process your Personal Data with your consent or for other specific reasons permitted under the GDPR.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive the Personal Data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract and is carried out by automated means.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data where we rely on our legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
• Right to Opt Out of Receiving Direct Marketing: When your Personal Data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the unconditional right to object to such processing at any time.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where the processing of your Personal Data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling:

• Under the EU GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, except where statutory exceptions apply.
• Under the UK GDPR, there is no standalone right not to be subject to solely automated decisions. However, should we, in the future, make decisions using solely automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects, we will implement appropriate safeguards required by the UK GDPR.

We will respond to your request without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request, unless the request is complex or we have received a large number of requests, in which case the response period may be extended by a further two months. We will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of your request, together with the reasons for the delay.

If necessary (for example, when we have reasonable doubts about your identity), we may ask you to provide proof of identity before responding to a request to exercise any of the rights mentioned above. Additionally, we may require further information, for instance, to identify the Personal Data to which your request relates.
