Privacy Policy

What information do we collect?

Personal information you disclose to us

We collect personal information that you provide to us. Data such as users' full names, email addresses, and usernames are accessible by us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you register on the Services, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to that information.

Information automatically collected

Some information - such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics - is collected automatically when you visit our Services.

This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information. This is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for internal analytics and reporting.

Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

We may also collect information from public databases, marketing partners, social media platforms, and other outside sources.

How do we process your information?

We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent. We process your information only when we have a valid legal reason to do so.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services.

When and with whom do we share your personal information?

We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties:

• Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
• Affiliates. We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honour this Privacy Notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.
• Business partners. We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.

Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

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, 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 and to tailor advertisements to your interests, which may appear on our Services or on other websites.

How do we handle your social logins?

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.

Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the provider, but will often include your name, email address, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on that platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the Services. We do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. Review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information.

Is your information transferred internationally?

We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.

Our servers are located in the United Kingdom. If you are accessing our Services from elsewhere, your information may be transferred to, stored by, and processed by us in our facilities and in the facilities of the third parties with whom we may share your personal information, in the United Kingdom and other countries.

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, those countries may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law.

How long do we keep your information?

We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil 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).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if that is not possible (for example because it is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

Location data

We do not automatically collect location data from users. Any location data we use or collect will be with user consent.

What are your privacy rights?

You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

In some regions (like the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), 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.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. That will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal, nor processing conducted on other lawful grounds.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights, contact us using the details below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK data protection authority.

Controls for Do-Not-Track features

Most web browsers include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal that you do not want data about your browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. 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.

Do we make updates to this notice?

Yes. We will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

The updated version will be indicated by an updated date, and it will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes, we may notify you by posting a notice or by sending you a notification. Review this Privacy Notice from time to time to stay informed of how we protect your information.

How can you contact us about this notice?

If you have questions or comments about this notice, email us at abahmark031@gmail.com or use the Support page.

How can you review, update, or delete the data we collect from you?

Account deletion is item 5 of the user menu on the homepage (the three dots in the top-left corner). You must be logged in to use this feature.
