We make the transfer to the United States in the absence of an adequacy decision because it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or with your explicit consent.

We provide tools to our subscriber to respond directly to data subject requests to access, transfer, rectify or erase their personal data, or to restrict or object to the processing of their personal data.

If you are a visitor to our Site, we will respond to your request directly within 30 days. If we are processing your personal data based upon the lawful ground of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent for such processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before it is withdrawn.

4. Retention. At a minimum, we will retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose in which it was collected, such as to deliver a Service, perform our obligations under a contract, for our or a third-party’s legitimate interest, or your consent.
Data Retention
How long we retain your information depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process the data. We will retain your information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and our agreement with you unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
Subscriber Rights
If you have purchased a subscription to a Service that is subject to and governed by a separate agreement between you and MajorBoost, to the extent that there’s a direct conflict between this Privacy Policy and the terms of that agreement, the terms of that agreement will control and supersede this Privacy Policy.

Security Program
Data Security
MajorBoost encrypts data at rest and in transit for all of our customers. We use tools like Amazon Web Service’s Key Management System (KMS) to manage encryption keys using hardware security modules for maximum security in line with industry best practices.
Application Security
MajorBoost regularly engages in vulnerability scanning and rigorously reviews and repairs any vulnerabilities.
MajorBoost also uses high-quality static analysis tooling provided by GitHub Advanced Security such as CodeQL, Secrets Scanner, and Dependabot to secure our product at every step of the development process.
Infrastructure Security
MajorBoost uses Amazon Web Services to host our application. We make full use of the security products embedded within the AWS ecosystem, including KMS, GuardDuty, and Inspector. In addition, we deploy our application using containers run on AWS managed services, meaning we typically do not manage servers or EC2 instances in production.
