 data privacy and security. For example, the European Union’s
General Data Protection Regulation, or EU GDPR, and the United Kingdom’s GDPR, or UK GDPR, or collectively GDPR, Australia’s
Privacy Act, and India’s Information Technology Act and supplementary rules impose strict requirements for Processing personal data.
For example, under GDPR, companies can face private litigation related to Processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects
or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests, temporary or definitive restrictions on data Processing
or other corrective actions, and fines of up to the greater of 20 million Euros under the EU GDPR / 17.5 million pounds streamline under
the UK GDPR or 4% of their worldwide annual revenue, whichever is greater.

In addition, we may be unable
to transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the United States or other countries due to data localization requirements
or limitations on cross-border data flows. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting
the transfer of personal data to other countries. In particular, the European Economic Area, or EEA, and the United Kingdom, or UK, have
significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the United States and other countries whose privacy laws it generally believes
are inadequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt similarly stringent interpretations of their data localization and cross-border data transfer
laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the United States
in compliance with law, such as the EEA’s standard contractual clauses, the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum,
and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK extension thereto (which allows for transfers to relevant U.S.-based organizations who
self-certify compliance and participate in the Framework) these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance
that we can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the United States. If there is no lawful manner for
us to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK, or other jurisdictions to the United States, or if the requirements for a legally-compliant
transfer are too onerous, we could face significant adverse consequences, including the interruption or degradation of our operations,
the need to relocate part of or all of our business or data processing activities to other jurisdictions at significant expense, increased
exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and penalties, the inability to transfer data and work
