7. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We respect the privacy of personal information and will take reasonable steps to keep it strictly confidential.
The personal information you submit directly to us will be stored by electronic means on HubSpot. This means your personal information may be processed and stored in the EU and the US.
