This means that the United States does not require the same level of information security or the same prohibitions on primary or secondary uses of Personal Information as European Union member states. Additionally the United States does not have a National Data Protection Authority and your ability for legal recourse for violation of this Privacy Statement may be severely limited (as opposed to the recourse mechanisms provided under European Union Law).
