Storage of your information and who your information might be shared with

We store your personal data on cloud-based servers based in the European Economic Area (EEA).

You agree that we may disclose your information and use of the Platform with third parties which referred you to access the Platform, or on whose behalf you are accessing the Platform, on the basis that they have a legitimate interest in processing such information.

We may also disclose your personal data to:

  • our agents and service providers, to the extent that they require access to the data in order to provide goods/services to us, in which case they will be bound by a contract requiring them to process personal data in accordance with the requirements prescribed by data protection law;
  • law enforcement agencies in connection with any investigation to help prevent unlawful activity; and
  • a third-party purchaser if we sell our business, in which case, customer and user information will be a transferred asset.

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, for example:

  • access to your account is controlled by a password and user name that are unique to you; and

How long do we keep your personal information?

We keep your personal information for as long as we need to for the purposes for which it was collected or (if longer) for any period for which we are required to keep personal information to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements.
