It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update it.

If you are entering into this Policy on behalf of a business or legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Policy, in which case the terms “Users”, “You” or “Your” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority or if you don’t agree with the terms of this Policy, you must not accept this Policy and may not access and use the Website and Services. By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy.

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
You can access and use the Website and Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the features offered on the Website, you may be asked to provide certain Personal Information (for example your name and email address).
We receive and store information you knowingly provide to us when you fill any forms on the Website. When required, this information may include the following:
- Contact information (such as email address, phone number, etc)
- Basic personal information (such as name, city of residence, etc)
You can choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the features on the Website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us.
USE AND PROCESSING OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
We act as a data controller and a data processor when handling Personal Information, unless we have entered into a data processing agreement with you in which case you would be the data controller and we would be the data processor.
Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving Personal Information. We act in the capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your Personal Information that is necessary to ensure your access and use of the Website and Services. In such instances, we are a data controller because we determine the purpose and means of the processing of Personal Information.
We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the Website and Services. We do not own, control or make decisions about the submitted Personal Information, and such Personal Information is processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User providing Personal Information acts as a data controller.
In order to make the Website and Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect and use certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information that we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:
- Request user feedback
- Improve user experience
- Enforce terms and conditions and policies
- Run and operate the Website and Services.
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are located in the world and if one of the following applies: (a) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; (b) provisions of information is necessary for the performance of this Policy with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (d) processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (e) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by third party. bad
Note that under some legislation we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
To maintain the highest level of privacy and to protect your Personal Information to the full extent, we do not sell or share your Personal Information with any third parties.
However, we may also disclose any Personal Information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
We do not share mobile information, phone numbers, or SMS opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our messaging program, please contact the message sender using the contact information provided on this website.
SMS OPT-OUT

RETENTION OF INFORMATION
We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, as long as your user account remains active, to enforce our Policy, resolve disputes, and unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
PRIVACY OF CHILDREN
We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit any Personal Information through the Website & Services. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us through the Website and Services, please contact us to request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Website and Services without their permission. We also ask that all parents and legal guardians overseeing the care of children take the necessary precautions to ensure their children are instructed to never give out Personal Information when online without their permission.
DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from users who use or visit a website or online services as they move across different websites over time. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. As a result, the Website and Services are not yet set up to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even so, as described in more detail throughout this Policy, we limit our use and collection of your Personal Information. For a description of Do Not Track protocols for browsers and mobile devices or to learn more about the choices available to you, visit internetcookies.com

The Website and Services contains links to other resources that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other resources or third parties. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every resource that may collect Personal Information.

Administrative safeguards: We maintain internal policies and procedures designed to support secure handling of user data and to limit access based on business need.
Technical safeguards: We use reasonable technical measures to help protect user data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
Physical safeguards: We apply physical security measures to help protect systems and records containing user data.
Access restrictions: Access to user data is limited to authorized personnel only, and only where necessary to perform their responsibilities.
DATA BREACH
In the event we become aware that the security of the Website and Services has been compromised or Users’ Personal Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activities, including but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law authorities.
In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will post a notice on the Website, mail you a letter. In jurisdictions where required, we may also report the breach to relevant authorities in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.
