Simply put, we only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and have a legitimate legal reason to do so under applicable law. This could be with your consent, to comply with laws, fulfill our contractual obligations, protect your rights, or serve our legitimate business interests.

For our users in the EU or UK, we want to ensure transparency and comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Thus, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

 

1. Consent: We may process your information if you have given us permission (consent) to use it for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

We won't keep your personal information for longer than you have an account with us, unless there's a valid reason to do so.

When we don't have a legitimate business need to use your personal information anymore, we will either delete it or make it anonymous. If that's not possible (for example, if your information is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and stop using it until we can delete it.

 

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In simpler terms: We try to protect your personal information with security measures.

We have put in place reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, even with our efforts, we can't guarantee that your information will be 100% secure from hackers, cybercriminals, or unauthorized third parties who may try to collect, access, steal, or change it. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, it's your responsibility to use our services in a secure environment.
