This website is owned and operated by PCM Impairments in the United States. PCMi may transfer your personal information to the United States, to any PCMi affiliate worldwide, or to third parties acting on our behalf for the purposes of processing or storage.

PCM Impairments stores your data no longer than necessary. How long we retain your data depends on the type of data and the purpose for which the data was collected and processed.
