Short: We are not
responsible for the safety of any

The Services may link to
third-party websites, online services, or mobile
applications and/or contain advertisements from

and which may link to other websites, services,
or applications. Accordingly, we do not make any
guarantee regarding any such third parties, and
we will not be liable for any loss or damage
caused by the use of such third-party websites,
services, or applications. The inclusion of a
link towards a third-party website, service, or
application does not imply an endorsement by us.
We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of
data you provide to any third parties. Any data
collected by third parties is not covered by
this privacy notice. We are not responsible for
the content or privacy and security practices
and policies of any third parties, including
other websites, services, or applications that

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 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, 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

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
sixty (60)
months past the termination of the user's
account
.
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.

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

consent at any time by contacting us by
using the contact details provided in the
section "

YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS

below
.
However, please
note that this will not affect the lawfulness of

will it affect the processing of your personal
information conducted in reliance on lawful
processing grounds other than consent.

out of marketing and promotional
communications: You

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.
