Applicable law might allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all the personal information we hold about you, or we might have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous under our record retention obligations and practices.

Your EEA/UK Privacy Rights
If you live in the EEA or the UK, the following terms apply to you.
We may process your personal data because you have given us permission to do so (for example, by sending data through the Platform’s contact or signup forms), because the processing is in our legitimate interests and it is not overridden by your rights, or because we need to process your personal data to perform a contract with you or comply with the law.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws concerning your personal data. Your rights may include the following:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected].
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to honor your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will let you know and keep you updated.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We store all information you provide to us on our secure servers behind firewalls. Our payment processor (Segpay) encrypts all payment transactions using SSL technology.
The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Platform. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Platform.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information through the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Platform. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Platform.
Except as otherwise permitted or required by law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typically, this means retaining data for a minimum of seven years. We may also retain data longer if required to protect the rights and safety of our users, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Under some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We may use that anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.
We adhere to the principle of data minimization, collecting only the information necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. We periodically review the data we hold and ensure that unnecessary data is securely deleted or anonymized.
Where you have provided your consent to the collection, use, and transfer of your personal information, you may have the legal right to withdraw your consent under certain circumstances. To withdraw your consent, if applicable, contact us at [email protected]. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, we might not be able to provide you with a particular product or service. We will explain the impact to you at the time to help you with your decision.
Our policy is to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the email address specified in your account or through a notice on the Platform home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for you and for periodically visiting the Platform and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
