At BeRush, we strive to develop innovative services to better serve our Affiliates (as defined in BeRush Affiliate Program Terms).

In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify you about the request after the fact where appropriate and where we determine in good faith that we are no longer prevented from doing so.
We use a variety of third party service providers to help us provide services related to the services. Service providers may be located inside or outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In particular, our service providers are based in Europe, Russia, Ukraine and North America.
For example, service providers may help us: (i) conduct background or police checks, fraud prevention, and risk assessment, (ii) perform product development, maintenance and debugging, (iii) provide customer service, advertising, or payments services. These providers have limited access to your contact information to perform these tasks on our behalf, and are contractually bound to protect and to use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed and consistent with this Privacy Policy.
