Threat= is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside Canada and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to Canada and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your personal data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.
8. Links to Other Websites
Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site.

Furthermore, if you interact with Threat= content on third-party platforms (such as social media sites or publishing platforms like Substack), your interaction and any personal information collected by those platforms are primarily governed by their respective privacy policies. If Threat= uses such a platform as a direct service provider for a service we control (e.g., managing a Threat= newsletter subscription list hosted on that platform), then our commitments regarding Third-Party Service Providers as outlined in Section 3 of this Policy would apply to our use of that platform in that specific capacity.
