Data protection and privacy laws around the globe, including those of the EEA, EU Member States, United Kingdom and certain countries in Asia and the American continents, and those countries deemed by the European Union and others to provide “adequate” or “equivalent” protections, require Take The Magic Step® to provide you with certain information applicable to its collection of your personal data.
