5. DO WE USE
COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In
Short: We may use cookies and
other tracking technologies to collect and store your
information.
We may use cookies and
similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and
pixels) to gather information when you interact with our
Services. Some online tracking technologies help us
maintain the security of our Services and your account, prevent
crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist
with basic site functions.
We also permit third
parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and
advertising, including to help manage and display
advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders
(depending on your communication preferences). The third
parties and service providers use their technology to
provide advertising about products and services tailored
to your interests which may appear either on our
Services or on other websites.
To the extent these online
tracking technologies are deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which
includes targeted advertising, as defined under the
applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can
opt out of these online tracking technologies by
submitting a request as described below under section "
DO
UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
"
Specific information about
how we use such technologies and how you can refuse
certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice

6. 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.
7. 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
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, 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.
8. 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.
9. DO WE COLLECT
INFORMATION FROM
MINORS?
In
Short: We do not knowingly collect
data from or market to
children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly
collect, solicit data from, or market to children under
18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal
information. By using the Services, you represent that
you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or
guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that
personal information from users less than 18 years of
age has been collected, we will deactivate the account
and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such
data from our records. If you become aware of any data
we may have collected from children under age 18, please
contact us at
[email protected]
.

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.

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?

this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing
before its withdrawal nor,

Cookies and
similar technologies: Most Web browsers
are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you
can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies
and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies
or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or
services of our Services.

11. 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.
