Retention of Your Personal Data

How long we keep information.

We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and to the extent needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements and policies.

Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when used to strengthen security, improve functionality, or when longer retention is required by law.

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Processing locations and safeguards.

Your information may be processed at the Company’s operating locations and other places where parties involved in processing are located. This may involve transfers to computers outside your jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of information represents your agreement to such transfer. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Delete Your Personal Data

Your rights and how to request deletion.

You have the right to delete or request that we assist in deleting Personal Data collected about you. The Service may provide ways to delete certain information within the app (if available).

If accounts exist in your version, you may be able to update, amend, or delete information by signing in and using account settings. You may also contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of information you provided.

We may retain certain information where we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

When we may disclose information.

Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose Personal Data if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (such as a court or government agency).

Other legal requirements

We may disclose Personal Data in good faith when necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
  • Protect the personal safety of Service users or the public
  • Protect against legal liability

Security of Your Personal Data

Reasonable safeguards, no perfect security.

The security of your Personal Data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Under 13.

The Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 13. If you are a parent/guardian and you believe a child provided Personal Data, contact us.

If we become aware we collected Personal Data from someone under 13 without verified parental consent, we take steps to remove that information. If consent is required by law, we may require parental consent before collection.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Updates over time.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes are effective when posted on this page.
