This Privacy Policy Notice only applies to personal information that we collect through the website, at www.americanexpatfinance.com (“the website”).

Who the AXFNJ may (but doesn’t always) share its readers’ personal information with
We may disclose readers’ personal information to the following categories of recipients:
(i) to third party service providers and partners who provide data processing services to us (for example, to support the delivery of, provide functionality on, or help to enhance the security of the website), or who otherwise process personal information for purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy Notice;
(ii) to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party, if there a reason has arisen to believe such disclosure is necessary
(for example: (a) as a matter of applicable law or regulation; or
(b) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights);
(iii) to an actual or potential buyer (and its agents and advisers, should it have any) in connection with any actual or proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business; or
(iv) other persons, should a situation arise in which we have a legitimate reason to do so, and in which we are otherwise permitted to do so by law.
The legal basis under which any personal
information processing takes place
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned, and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect personal information from readers and visitors to the website only in situations in which the processing of this information is in our legitimate interest (such as our interest in improving the content we provide on our website), and when these legitimate interests are not overridden by our readers/visitors’ own rights; or, where we have these readers/visitors’ consent to do so.
In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from our readers, or may otherwise need such personal information to protect these readers’ vital interests, or those of another person.
