Under the CPRA: Tarzo Media does not "sell" or "share" personal information as defined under California law, nor do we permit third parties to use your data for their own independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Certain analytics tools we deploy may be characterised as a "sale" under CPRA, from which you may opt out (see Section 10).
5. Data Storage
Your Personal Data is stored on servers owned or operated by Tarzo Media, or on infrastructure managed by reputable third-party cloud providers. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to ensure that data is stored securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
6. International Data Transfers
Depending on your location, your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"), Tarzo Media ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
- Transfers to jurisdictions that benefit from an EU adequacy decision
For questions about international transfers or the safeguards in place, please contact us using the details provided in Section 11.
7. Data Retention
We retain Personal Data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected — including meeting legal, regulatory, audit, or contractual obligations, and resolving any disputes that may arise.
Once data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised. Some aggregated or statistical data derived from your usage may be retained indefinitely, but in a form that does not identify you personally. Data may also remain in encrypted backups until those backups are routinely overwritten.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
top10-ranked.com uses cookies, pixel tags, and similar local storage technologies (collectively, "tracking technologies") to distinguish you from other users and to improve your experience on the Website.

These measures are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis in line with industry standards.
Access to Personal Data within Tarzo Media is restricted to personnel who require it in order to fulfil their responsibilities, who are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, and who have received relevant training.
