This section covers the information for our website users within the EU, which comes under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR.

The conditions to process your personal data include the following:

  • Consent and Contract: This privacy policy is applicable in situations where you, the user, have given your consent and permission for us to use your personal information for a specific stated purpose. It also applies when we need to process your personal information to provide you with a service that you have a contract with us for.

  • Legal Obligation: There may be situations where we need to process and handle your personal information to comply with a specific law or legal obligation that has been put in place. In these cases, we will process your data as required by that law.

  • Public Task: This is applicable in situations where the processing of personal information needs to be carried out to serve an important public interest.

  • Legitimate Interest: This privacy policy applies in situations where we need to process personal data to carry out legitimate business activities and operations. However, any such processing will have only a minimal impact on an individual's privacy rights.

When relying on these legal bases for data processing, we clearly explain to users why the processing is truly necessary for our business purposes. We also demonstrate how the processing complies with and respects the user's own interests, privacy rights, and fundamental individual rights and freedoms.

What Do We Do With Your Personal Information, And When Do We Share It?

There are certain parties and entities that we may need to disclose or share your personal information with:

  • Advertisers: If our website displays advertisements, we may share some of your personal information with the companies and businesses who are advertising on our site.

  • Business Partners: In cases where we collaborate or co-own certain products/services with other business partners, we may share your information with those partner companies to provide those offerings to you.

  • Service Providers: We may share your personal data with third-party service providers that we hire to perform various functions. For example, companies that provide advertisement services, web hosting, data storage services, etc.

  • Subsidiaries and Affiliates: If our website merges or combines with another company's website, we may share your personal information with that entity. Similarly, if our company is acquired by another business, your data could be shared with the new owners and their advisors.

  • Public Authorities: In some situations, we may be required to share your personal information with law enforcement agencies, government bodies, or other public authorities. This would only occur if legally mandated to do so, or if sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights.

What Types Of Tracking Measures Do We Use?

When you visit our website, we may use cookies and other tracking technology to collect certain information about you.

We may use these cookies and tracking apps to collect and store data like:

  • Information from your web browser, including the browser type and version

  • Your device's unique identifiers assigned by the manufacturer

  • Your IP address

  • Location data

  • Information on the webpages you visited on our site like the URL, date, and time stamp

  • Any preference settings like your text size and font settings in the web browser

Is Your Data Shared Internationally?

It is possible that we may store, transfer, and process the personal information you provide to us in locations outside of the country you originally submitted it from. Your data may be handled by our systems and servers in other countries around the world.

Additionally, if you access our website from a device or location outside of where our main servers are based, we may need to share your information with third-party websites and service providers in order to properly deliver our website's content and functionality to you in that location.

How Long Will We Keep Your Data?

We will keep and store the personal information of our users for as long as it is needed to achieve the intended purposes and objectives for which the data was originally collected. We also retain data for as long as necessary to comply with any applicable laws, regulations, or legal obligations.

However, if you decide to terminate or close your user account with us, we will only continue keeping your personal information for a maximum period of one month after account closure. Once that one-month period has passed, all of your personal data will be permanently and completely deleted from our systems.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?

We take data security very seriously at our company. We have put in place many technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information and data that our users provide to us. We take extensive steps and precautions to ensure the complete safety and security of all the personal data that our users entrust us with.

However, even with our strong security efforts, we cannot guarantee 100% that personal data being transferred over the internet will be completely secure from potential threats. There is always a possibility that personal data could be stolen, hacked, or accessed by unauthorized malicious third parties without permission.

While we have highly secure systems and follow all the recommended best practices for data security, there is an inherent risk anytime data is transmitted online. It is possible that the data could potentially be intercepted or the security could be compromised by bad actors with malicious intent.

What Are Your Rights To Privacy?

If you live in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Canada - you will have enhanced control and rights over your privacy settings and personal information.

You can change or update your account details, review what information is stored about you, and terminate or delete your account if desired.

Additionally, you can also:

  • Request to review, correct, or delete any of your personal information that we have on record

  • Request to receive an exported copy of your personal information data in a common file format

  • Place restrictions on how your personal information may be used by us

Any requests you make regarding your personal data will be carefully considered and responded to in full compliance with all relevant data protection laws and legislation that apply in your region.

Information about your account: You can change, update, or completely delete your account information by going into your account settings on our website/app. If you submit a request to cancel or deactivate your account, we will deactivate it right away, and remove all of the personal information associated with your account that is stored in our databases.

However, there are some cases where we may need to keep certain pieces of information even after you have deleted your account. This would be for limited purposes such as:

  • Troubleshooting technical issues or errors that need to be investigated

  • Assisting with any open investigations into violations or misuse

  • Enforcing the legal terms laid out in our policies that you originally agreed to

  • Preventing and protecting against fraudulent activities

In these specific situations, a minimal amount of data may still be briefly retained. But the overall principle is that we permanently remove your personal account information promptly after cancellation, except where absolutely necessary.

Do-Not-Track Feature Controls: Many web browsers have a feature called "Do Not Track" or DNT. This feature allows you to send a signal to websites, telling them that you do not want your online browsing activities to be tracked or monitored by them.

Currently, our website does not respond or make any changes based on these DNT signals that may be sent from your browser.

Instead of following DNT, we strictly follow the standards and practices outlined in detail within this Privacy Policy document. Our policy explains how we collect and process your personal information or data in an honest, lawful, and fully transparent manner.

Do We Make Changes To This Notice?

We reserve the right to make changes or updates to this Privacy Policy document in the future. We are committed to keeping this policy current and up-to-date with any changes in laws, regulations, or best practices related to data protection and privacy.

Any changes or modifications that we make to this Privacy Policy will be done in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations around data privacy and user rights.

It is important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are aware of our most current data protection practices and to verify we remain compliant with all relevant laws. If we ever make significant, material changes to this policy, we will notify you by posting the updated version directly on our website. We may also inform you of major updates through other means if required by law.
