Further, STARBURST respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data in line with all applicable laws and regulations. This Policy will inform you as to how we will look after your personal data when you interact with us, including visiting our Websites. It also tells you about your rights in relation to your personal data.
ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVACY POLICY
By using the Websites and clicking “Accept” on the Cookie Banner contained on our Websites and/or by using our Products, you consent to the collection, use and storage of your information by us in the manner described in this Policy. We reserve the right to make changes to this Policy at any time. If we decide to change our Policy, we will post those changes on our Websites so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use our Websites. Your continued use of our Websites following posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOOKING AFTER MY PERSONAL DATA?
Personal data is any information about an identifiable individual. STARBURST is responsible for personal data which we collect from you and, along with our distributors, resellers, dealers and other sales channels, we are also responsible for how we handle personal data which we collect from STARBURST’S sales partners.

Any payments you make for Products are made through third- party payment processing vendors, and we have no access to such information. In addition, if you contact us, we may keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. Finally, we may receive contact details or other information about you from publicly and commercially available sources, which we may combine with other information we receive from or about you. We will use the information we collect from third party sources in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If you have requested information or if you have purchased products or services from us in the past, we may use this information to provide you with news, offers for upgrades, discounts and other marketing information. But we only want to stay in contact with people that are interested in what we’re doing.

We use industry standard measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to help protect personal data from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure. As a result, while we always use all reasonable efforts to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your information and the submission of data is thus at your own risk.

We implement appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.
