4. Your Choices and Rights

You have certain choices and rights in relation to the personal data we collect and process about you. You may:

  • · Access, update, or delete your personal data

To make any of these requests, please contact us using the contact information provided in the "Contact Us" section below. We will respond to your request in a reasonable timeframe and provide you with a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. We may ask you to verify your identity before we can fulfill your request.

We may not be able to fulfill all requests or respect your choices and rights in certain cases, such as if it would infringe on the rights of others or if we are required to retain your personal data to comply with a legal obligation. If you are located in the European Union, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe we have violated your rights under European data protection laws.

5. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. We may also retain and use your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such personal data. If you become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with personal data, please contact us using the contact information provided in the "Contact Us" section below.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect personal data from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free, so you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us.

8. International Data Transfer

Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These include implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers between our group companies, and relying on Privacy Shield certification for data transfers to the United States.

9. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain Services, email notification of privacy policy changes). We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy whenever you access or use our Services to stay informed about our information practices and your choices.
