[We work with a variety of third parties to attempt to understand the profiles of the  individuals who are most likely to be interested in our Services so that we can send  them promotional emails, or serve our advertisements to them on the websites and  mobile apps of other entities.

These third parties include: (a) advertising networks, which collect information about  a person’s interests when that person views or interacts with one of their  advertisements; (b) attribution partners, which measure the effectiveness of certain  advertisements; and (c) business partners, which collect information when a person  views or interacts with one of their advertisements.

We maintain appropriate administrative,  technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or  unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorised alteration, unauthorised  disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the  Personal Data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password 

protection and other access and authentication controls. We use TLS technology to  encrypt data during transmission through public internet and ISO certified cloud  services and applications, [and we also employ application-layer security features to  further anonymise Personal Data.] 

However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic  storage, is 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any  information you transmit to us or store on the Service, and you do so at your own  risk.

We only retain the Personal Data collected from a User for as long as the User’s  account is active or otherwise for a limited period of time as long as we need it to  fulfill the purposes for which we have initially collected it, unless otherwise required  by law. We will only retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal  obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. 

Privacy Settings 

Although we may allow you to adjust your privacy settings to limit access to certain  Personal Data, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or  impenetrable. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or  security measures on the Service. Additionally, we cannot control the actions of  other users with whom you may choose to share your information. Further, even  after information posted on the Service is removed, caching and archiving services  may have saved that information, and other users or third parties may have copied  or stored the information available on the Service.
