We use personal data that You provide to us to respond to Your enquiry, ask a question, contact You about Your request or other reasons related to offering and improving our products and services.

When we transfer Your personal data to recipients in other countries, we will protect that personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.
We will comply with applicable legal requirements by providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal data to data recipients in countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Switzerland. To the extent that these data recipients are in countries that have not been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, we ensure that appropriate safeguards aimed at ensuring such a level of data protection are in place, including by entering into the European Commission’s EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the data recipients, or ensuring that the data recipient has certified to the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, or has implemented Binding Corporate Rules.

Even then, CPNI is only provided to the supplier to the extent necessary to provide the service You request.
Masergy uses CPNI to provide You the services that You subscribe to, manage services that You request, recommend new products and services that may be of interest to You, provide inbound marketing services if You contact Masergy for that purpose, conduct customer satisfaction surveys, bill and collect for services rendered, and protect Masergy’s rights and property, including fraud control.
