(“Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from
you or that you may provide (“Personal Information”) on the

related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for
collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal

of your Personal Information and how you can access and update it.
This Policy is a legally binding
agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and this Website operator
(“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you are entering into this agreement on
behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the

authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this agreement, you must
not accept this agreement and may not access and use the Website and Services.
By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you have
read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This

Privacy of children
We do not knowingly collect any
Personal Information from children under the age of 18. If you are under the

from our Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians
to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by
instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the
Website and Services without their permission. We also ask that all parents and
legal guardians overseeing the care of children take the necessary precautions
to ensure that their children are instructed to never give out Personal
Information when online without their permission.
Use and processing of collected
information
We act as a data controller and a
data processor when handling Personal Information, unless we have entered into
a data processing agreement with you in which case you would be the data
controller and we would be the data processor.
Our role may also differ depending on the specific
situation involving Personal Information. We act in the capacity of a data
controller when we ask you to submit your Personal Information that is
necessary to ensure your access and use of the Website and Services. In such
instances, we are a data controller because we determine the purposes and means
of the processing of Personal Information.
We act in the capacity of a data
processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the
Website and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the
submitted Personal Information, and such Personal Information is processed only
in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User providing
Personal Information acts as a data controller.
In order to make the Website and
Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to
collect and use certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the

Processing your Personal Information
depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are
located in the world and if one of the following applies: (i) you have given
your consent for one or more specific purposes; (ii) provision of information
is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any
pre-contractual obligations thereof; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance
with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to
a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of
official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the purposes
of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. We may also
combine or aggregate some of your Personal Information in order to better serve
you and to improve and update our Website and Services.
Note that under some legislations we may be
allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting
out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In any
case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the
processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is
a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter
into a contract.

necessary to complete any transaction or provide any Service you have
requested, we may share your information with our affiliates, contracted

to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or
visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over
time. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. As a
result, the Website and Services are not yet set up to interpret or respond to
Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even so, as described in
more detail throughout this Policy, we limit our use and collection of your
Personal Information.

all e-mails sent from us will clearly state who the e-mail is from and provide
clear information on how to contact the sender.
Push notifications
We offer push notifications to which
you may also voluntarily subscribe at any time. To make sure push notifications
reach the correct devices, we use a third-party push notifications provider who
relies on a device token unique to your device which is issued by the operating

they will not reveal your identity, your unique device ID, or your contact

reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not
limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and

will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe that
there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if
