Once we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion or anonymization is not possible (e.g., due to data stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and restrict any further processing until deletion becomes feasible.

 LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION

We only process your personal information when we have a valid legal reason (legal basis) to do so under applicable law. The legal bases we rely on to process your personal information include:

We recommend accessing our services within a secure environment.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM MINORS

We do not knowingly collect data from or market to individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not use our services or provide any personal information.

CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

While some web browsers, mobile operating systems, and mobile applications offer a Do-Not-Track (DNT) feature or setting that allows you to indicate your preference not to have your online browsing activities monitored and collected, there is currently no universally accepted standard for implementing and recognizing DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that automatically communicate your choice to opt-out of online tracking. If a standard for online tracking is established and we are required to comply with it in the future, we will provide information about that practice in an updated version of this privacy notice.
