1. Information That We Collect

a) Voluntarily Shared Information

We acquire personal information that you willingly share with us in the process of interacting with our Services. This occurs when you register your account, exhibit interest in our products and services, participate in our Services, or when reaching out to us for any purpose.

The personal data, including your name, phone numbers, email addresses, and contact preferences, greatly depends on the extent of interaction between you and our Services. The choices you make and the specific features you use in the products also contribute to the scope.

We also engage with sensitive information, but only under necessary circumstances and within the existing laws or with your consent. These include sensitive information such as financial data, information disclosing race or ethnic origin, genetic data, and others.

For purchases, data required for processing your payment, like your payment instrument number and its security code, is collected. It’s essential for your shared personal information to be precise, complete, and up-to-date. We kindly ask you to notify us of any changes that may occur.

b) Automatically Collected Information

Certain data is collected automatically when our Services are used. This primarily includes your IP address, browser type, device specifics, and other usage data, which are necessary for ensuring optimum security and facilitating our internal analytics and reporting. These pieces of information are not used to identify you explicitly

2. Processing Your Information

We process your personal information based on the nature of your interactions with our Services. The primary purposes include facilitating the creation of user accounts and their authentication, delivering user-requested services, responding to user inquiries, providing the necessary administrative details, managing user orders, and securing users’ data, preventing fraud and ensuring compliance with the law.

For instance, we process your information to facilitate user-to-user communications aiming at improving the service delivery process. And in instances where there is a need to protect an individual’s vital interest, we intervene and process the information as necessary…

Remember, for any other purposes that go beyond the stipulations in this agreement, we only process your information after obtaining your consent

3. Legal Grounds For Processing Your Information

We adhere strictly to the legal provisions regarding the processing of your personal data. Our operations involving your data are founded on valid legal bases, which include consent, legal obligations, contractual requirements, protection of rights, and legitimate business interests.

For EU and UK Residents:

As per the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, we are obligated to clarify the valid legal bases upon which we process your data:

A. Consent: We may process your data if you have granted us express permission to utilize your personal data for specific purposes. Note: You reserve the right to revoke your consent at any point.

B. Contractual Obligations: We may process your personal data if it is required for the fulfillment of our contractual terms and obligations to you, or at your request prior to establishing a contract with you.

D. Vital Interests: We may process your data under exigent circumstances aimed at protecting your life or a third party’s.

For Canadian Residents:

Same as the EU and UK residents, we rely on your express or implied consent to process your data. However, exceptional cases permit us to process your data without consent. These include investigations of fraud, timely interests of an individual, business transactions adhering to specific conditions, identifying ill or deceased persons & communicating with next of kin, cases involving evidence of financial abuse, possible violation of Canada’s laws, complying with subpoenas or court orders, journalistic, artistic, literary purposes, or when the information is openly available and approved by the regulations.

5.  Utilization of Cookies And Other Tracking Technologies

Our platform may make use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons and pixels, to access or store your information. These digital tools allow us to custom-tailor our interactions with you by recording data about your preferences and browsing habits on our platform. Such information can include browsing history, frequency and duration of visits, and patterns of page views. You have the option to refuse certain cookies via the settings in your web browser.

6. Duration of Information Retention

We retain your personal data in accordance with the relevant legal and operational requirements. Your data is kept only for the period necessary to serve the purposes outlined in this privacy agreement or as required by the government or judicial entities. When we do not have any ongoing legitimate need to process your personal data, we will either erase or anonymize it. If it is not feasible (for instance, when your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely isolate your personal data from any further processing until deletion is feasible.

7. Ensuring Your Information is Safe

We are committed to maintaining the security of your personal data. To this end, we have put in place a system of organizational and technical measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, or dissemination of your data. However, we must bear in mind that no digital platform can guarantee 100% security. Please consider this when deciding what information you choose to share with us, and only access our services within a secure environment.

8. Controlling Information Gathered From Minors

We do not intentionally solicit or collect data from or market to individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected such data, we will take prompt action to delete it. If you become aware of any data that we may have gathered from children under the age of 18, kindly contact us.

9. Privacy Rights

Depending on your region, you may be entitled to additional privacy rights, which include the right to review, amend, or terminate your account at any time. These rights involve accessing and obtaining copies of your personal data, requesting rectification or erasure, restricting the processing of your personal information, data portability, and to avoid being a subject of automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may object to the processing of your personal information. You may contact us for any such requests, and we are obligated to consider those in line with the relevant data protection laws.

10. Do-Not-Track Controls

Web browsers and certain mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting. When activated, this communicates your preference to not have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. As uniform technology standards for recognizing and implementing DNT signals have yet to be finalized, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other automatic mechanism signaling your choice to not be tracked online. However, should a standard for online tracking be established and we are obligated to follow, a clear notification will be furnished through a revised version of this privacy notice.

11. SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS FOR US RESIDENTS
