We will use information about you for delivering our Services to you under the terms of use agreed between us. The processing of information in this way is necessary for us to provide you the Service properly and to ensure the features function properly so that you have the best Service possible.

 

We further process your personal information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with our legal obligations.

We keep your information confidential, but may disclose it to our personnel, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We may share with third party your data that we hold based on the following legal basis:

  • We may share your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
  • We may share your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.
  • Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may share your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.

We have implemented appropriate 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, so 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.
