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 gather information
when you interact with our Services. Some online
tracking technologies help us maintain the security of
our Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix
bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic
site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to
use online tracking technologies on our Services for
analytics and advertising, including to help manage
and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements
to your interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart
reminders (depending on your communication
preferences). The third parties and service providers
use their technology to provide advertising about
products and services tailored to your interests which
may appear either on our Services or on other
websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are
deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which includes
targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable
laws) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out
of these online tracking technologies by submitting a
request as described below under section "
DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY
RIGHTS?"
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 offer you the ability to register and log
in using your third-party social media account details
(like your Facebook or X 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 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. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short:
Depending on your state of residence in the US or in
some regions, such as the European Economic Area
(EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada,
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, depending on your country, province, or state
of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and
Canada), 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;
(iii) to restrict the processing of your personal
information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability;
and (v) not to be subject to automated
decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may
also have the right to object to the processing of
your personal information. You can make such a request
by contacting us by using the contact details provided
in the section "
HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in
accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Withdrawing your consent:
If we are relying on your consent to process your
personal information, which may be express and/or
implied consent depending on the applicable law, you
have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in
the section "
HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the
lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal
nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the
processing of your personal information conducted in
reliance on lawful processing grounds other than
consent.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the
information in your account or terminate your account,
you can:
-
Log in to your account settings and update your user
account.
-
Contact us using the contact information provided.
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will
deactivate or delete your account and information from
our active databases. However, we may retain some
information in our files to prevent fraud,
troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations,
enforce our legal terms and/or comply with applicable
legal requirements.
9. 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.
California law requires us to let you know how we
respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there
currently is not an industry or legal standard for
recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond
to them at this time.
