When you visit, use, or navigate our Services, we may process personal information based on how you interact with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use.
Some of the information may be considered 'special' or 'sensitive' in certain jurisdictions, such as your racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. We do not process sensitive personal information.
We do not collect any personal information from third parties.
We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services; to communicate with you; for security and fraud prevention; and to comply with the law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent. We process your information only when we have a valid legal basis to do so.

Information automatically collected
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (such as 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, location, information about how and when you use our Services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
The information we collect includes:
• Log and Usage Data: We automatically collect service-related diagnostic, usage, and performance data when you access our Services, which we record in log files. This may include your IP address, device details, browser type, activity in the Services (e.g., date and time stamps, pages viewed, searches, and features used), and device event information (e.g., system activity, error reports, and hardware settings).
• Device Data: We collect device data, such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Services. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider, and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.
• Location Data: We collect location data, such as information about your device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise. The amount of information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the data or by disabling your location settings on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.
2. How do we process your information?

3. What Legal Bases Do We Rely On to Process Your Personal Information?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
• Consent: We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
• Legitimate Interests: We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests, and those interests do not outweigh your rights and fundamental freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
- Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users.
- Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them, engage, and retain users.
- Support our marketing activities.
- Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities.
• Legal Obligations: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercising or defending our legal rights, or disclosing your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
• Vital Interests: We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to carry out their work. We have contracts in place with these third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do so. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. Additionally, they commit to protecting the data they hold on our behalf and to retaining it only for the period we instruct.
The categories of third parties we may share personal information with include:

5. What Is Our Stance on Third-Party Websites?
The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications, and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us, which may link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantees regarding such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link to a third-party website, service, or application does not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third-party websites. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Notice. We are not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Services. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them directly to address any questions.
6. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. These 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 helping to manage and display advertisements, tailor ads to your interests, or send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your communication preferences). These third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests, which may appear either on our Services or on other websites. Specific information about how we use such technologies, and how you can refuse certain cookies, is set out in our Cookie Notice.
Google Analytics
We may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze the use of the Services. The Google Analytics Advertising Features that we may use include Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reporting. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across the Services, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal information is stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
8. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. Do We Collect Information from Minors?
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 16 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor and consent to their use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users under 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under the age of 18, please contact us:

10. What Are Your Privacy Rights?
In some regions (such as 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; (iv) (if applicable) to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making.

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 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.

Withdrawing Your Consent. If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Cookies and Similar Technologies. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, please contact us:

11. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting that you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. 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 are required to follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Policy.
12. Do We Make Updates to This Notice?
We may update this Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Date of last update" at the top of this Policy.
