opt out of these online tracking technologies by
submitting a request as described below under section

8. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In
Short: If you choose to register
or log in to our Services using a social media
account, we may have access to certain information
about you.
Our Services offer you
the ability to register and log in using your
third-party social media account details (like your
Facebook or X logins). Where you choose to do this, we
will receive certain profile information about you
from your social media provider. The profile
information we receive may vary depending on the
social media provider concerned, but will often
include your name, email address, friends list, and
profile picture, as well as other information you
choose to make public on such a social media
platform.
We will use the
information we receive only for the purposes that are
described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise
made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please
note that we do not control, and are not responsible
for, other uses of your personal information by your
third-party social media provider. We recommend that
you review their privacy notice to understand how they
collect, use, and share your personal information, and
how you can set your privacy preferences on their
sites and apps.
9. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In
Short: We keep your information
for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless
otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your
personal information for as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice,
unless a longer retention period is required or
permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements).
No purpose in this notice will require us
keeping your personal information for longer than
six (6) months past the
termination of the user's account, except where we
reasonably need to retain certain information for
security, fraud prevention, safeguarding, enforcement
of our Terms, and the establishment, exercise, or
defence of legal claims, or where retention is
required or permitted by law. In those cases, we
retain the minimum necessary information for as long
as needed for those purposes.
.
When we have no ongoing
legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such
information, or, if this is not possible (for example,
because your personal information has been stored in
backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible.
10. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In
Short: We aim to protect your
personal information through a system of organizational and
technical security
measures.
We have implemented
appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security
measures designed to protect the security of any
personal information we process. However, despite our
safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no
electronic transmission over the Internet or
information storage technology can be guaranteed to be
100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that
hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third
parties will not be able to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your
information. Although we will do our best to protect
your personal information, transmission of personal
information to and from our Services is at your own
risk. You should only access the Services within a
secure environment.
11. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In
Short:
Depending on your
state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as
the European
Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK),
Switzerland, and Canada
, you have rights that allow you greater
access to and control over your personal
information.
You may review,
change, or terminate your account at any time,
depending on your country, province, or state of
residence.
In some regions (like
the EEA, UK,
Switzerland, and Canada
), you have certain rights under applicable data
protection laws. These may include the right (i) to
request access and obtain a copy of your personal
information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure;
(iii) to restrict the processing of your personal
information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability;
and (v) not to be subject to automated
decision-making. If
a decision that produces legal or similarly
significant effects is made solely by automated means,
we will inform you, explain the main factors, and
offer a simple way to request human review. In certain
circumstances, you may also have the right to object
to the processing of your personal information. You
can make such a request by contacting us by using the
contact details provided in the section "
HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US
ABOUT THIS NOTICE?
" below.
We will consider and act
upon any request in accordance with applicable data
protection laws.
Withdrawing
your consent: If we are relying on
your consent to process your personal information, which may be express
and/or implied consent depending on the applicable
law, you
have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in
the section "
HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US
ABOUT THIS NOTICE?
" below.
However, please note that
this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing
before its withdrawal nor,
when applicable law allows, will it
affect the processing of your personal information
conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other
than consent.
Account Information
If you would at any time like
to review or change the information in your account or
terminate your account, you can:
-
Log in to your account settings
and update your user account.
Upon your request to
terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete
your account and information from our active databases.
However, we may retain some information in our files to
prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any
investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply
with applicable legal requirements.
Deletion requests are subject to legal exceptions. We may retain limited information where necessary to prevent fraud or abuse, protect users (including minors), comply with legal obligations, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and
some mobile operating systems and mobile applications
include a Do-Not-Track (
"DNT"
) feature or setting you can activate to signal
your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. At
this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such,
we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or
any other mechanism that automatically communicates
your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard
for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in
the future, we will inform you about that practice in
a revised version of this Privacy
Notice.
California law requires us
to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT
signals. Because there currently is not an industry or
legal standard for
recognizing
or honoring
DNT
signals, we do not respond to them at this
time.
