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 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
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
offers you the ability to register and login using your third-party social media
account details (like your Facebook or Twitter 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, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public on
such 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 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. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short:
In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom
(UK), 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.
In some regions (like the EEA and UK), 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;

applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the
right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a
request, please use the
contact details
provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with
applicable data protection laws.
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have
the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will
not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it
affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful
processing grounds other than consent.

10. 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.

have the information in our system. These verification efforts
require us to ask you to provide information so that we can
match it with information you have previously provided us. For
instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may
ask you to provide certain information so that we can match
the information you provide with the information we already
have on file, or we may contact you through a communication
method (e.g. phone or email) that you have previously provided
to us. We may also use other verification methods as the
circumstances dictate.
We will only use personal information provided in your
request to verify your identity or authority to make the

additional information from you for the purposes of
verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from

information as soon as we finish verifying you.
