In summary: we only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We only share and disclose your information in the following situations:

As required by law: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, legal process, a court order, or legal procedure, such as in response to a court order or subpoena (even in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

Vital interests and legal rights: We may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, illegal activities, or as evidence in a legal dispute in which we are involved.

No purpose in this policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than 1 year after the user’s account is canceled.

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete it or anonymize it, or, if that is not possible (e.g., because your personal information has been stored in backup files), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE?

In summary: our goal is to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the Internet is 100% secure.
