Scraped Personal Data Strictly for Business Purposes
Where personal data is obtained indirectly from publicly available sources, Anakin may not have a direct relationship with the data subject.

Personal data collected or processed through our Services may be transferred to and stored in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including India, where our infrastructure and service providers are located.
