5. 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.
6. 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.
7. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), 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.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, 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; and (iv) if
applicable, to data portability. 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.

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.

8. 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.

Verification process
Upon
receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to
determine you are the same person about whom we 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 request. To the extent possible,
we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the
purposes of verification. However, if we cannot verify your identity
from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you
provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your
identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete
such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying
you.
