8. Data Security and Retention

Security of your information is important to me. I maintain appropriate technical, administrative, and physical security measures that are designed to protect your information from unauthorised access, theft, disclosure, modification, or loss. I regularly review my security measures to consider available new technology and methods.

I retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Platform and for the other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. I also retain information when necessary to comply with contractual and legal obligations, when we have a legitimate business interest to do so (such as improving and developing the Platform, and enhancing its safety, security and stability), and for the exercise or defence of legal claims.

This information includes your Profile Information, User Content, and Direct Messages. If you violate our Guidelines or Terms, I may remove your Profile Information and/or User Content from public view immediately but keep your information as is necessary to process the violation.

9. Global Operations and Data Transfers

To support our global operations:

  1. We store the information described in the “What Information We Collect” section in servers located in the United States.
  2. This access is limited, secure and only granted where necessary under strict security controls and authorisation approval protocols.
  3. We share “What Information I Collect” with service providers, partners and other third party entities, as described in “How I Share Your Information”. These third parties can be located outside your country of residence.

These entities commit to processing information in compliance with applicable privacy laws and to implementing appropriate security measures to protect your information. 
When I transfer your information outside of the EEA, I ensure it benefits from an adequate level of data protection by relying on:

  1. Adequacy decisions. These are decisions from the European Commission under Article 45 GDPR (or equivalent decisions under other laws) where they recognise that a country offers an adequate level of data protection. I transfer your information as described in “What Information We Collect” to some countries with adequacy decisions, such as the countries listed here;
  2. Standard contractual clauses. The European Commission has approved contractual clauses under Article 46 of the GDPR that allows companies in the EEA to transfer data outside the EEA. These (and their approved equivalent for the UK and Switzerland) are called standard contractual clauses. We rely on standard contractual clauses to transfer information as described in “What Information We Collect” to certain entities and third parties in countries without an adequacy decision.

10. Children’s Privacy

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Application.

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 18. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18 years of age. In the case I discover that a child under 18 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do the necessary actions.

To provide users younger than 18 with an age-appropriate experience, certain features are not available. Further details are available in our FAQ Centre.

11. Payments

I may provide paid products and/or services within Service. In that case, I use third-party services.

I will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to my third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

12. Cookies Processing

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.

This Service does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse my cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.
