WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

We may process or share data based on the following legal bases:

We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.

When in a contractual relationship with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.

When required to do so we may disclose your information to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

We may disclose your information if it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

We may share your data with third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf who require access to such information to do that work. Examples include payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service and/or marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on the Services, enabling them to collect data about how you interact with the Services over time.

DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We will only keep your personal information as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, it will be deleted or anonymized. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

 

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.

Only access services within a secure environment.
