As we have a global business operation, your Personal Data will be transferred to recipients located in jurisdictions outside your jurisdiction of residence, and that your profile will be accessible by users all over the world. If you are concerned about this, you can stop using our Services at any time.
As a result, your Personal Data will be used, stored and/or accessed in countries outside your jurisdiction of residence, including without limitation. Some of these jurisdictions do not have an equivalent level of data protection laws as those in your country however we will take steps to ensure that the information receives the same level of protection as if it remained within your home country.
6. SECURITY
We take the protection of your Personal Data seriously. We implement appropriate measures and take steps to protect Personal Data against loss and theft as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, and modification using security safeguards, including physical, organizational and technological measures, commensurate with the sensitivity of your Personal Data. Employees who have access to your Personal Data are made aware of the importance of keeping it confidential.
Where we use service providers who might have access to your Personal Data, we require them to have privacy and security standards that are comparable to ours. We use contracts and other measures with our service providers to maintain the confidentiality and security of your Personal data and to prevent it from being used for any other purpose.
Please be aware that no data security measures can guarantee complete security. You should also take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, relying on two-factor authentication and keeping your log-in and password private.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT?
We keep your Personal Data for only as long as it is required for the purposes for which it was collected, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, after which we delete or de-identify your Personal data, rendering it Non-Personal Data.
In general, we retain your Personal Data for a period of time corresponding to a statute of limitation setting out the period during which legal claims may be filed in court. For example, we’ll retain your Personal Data during the statute of limitation period, to maintain an accurate record of your dealings with us and, as applicable, assert or defend against a legal claim. We automatically delete data where an account has been inactive (e.g., no messages sent etc.) for 12 months. As a general rule, we will hold purchase information for 6 months past account deletion to ensure that we can deal with any chargeback/payment penalties. However, in some circumstances we may retain Personal Data for other periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements, or if required to do so by a legal process, legal authority, or other governmental entity having authority to make the request, for so long as required.
