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. Although we will do
our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and
from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure
environment.

YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS UNDER GENERAL DATA
PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR).
If you are a resident of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA), you have
certain data protection rights, covered by GDPR. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to
correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. If you wish to be informed of what
Personal Data we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please
contact us.
Under certain circumstances, individuals in Europe have rights under data protection laws in
relation to their personal data. If you are located in Europe, you may ask us to take the following
actions regarding personal data that we hold:
1. Access. You are entitled to ask us if we are processing your personal data and, if so, for a
copy of the personal data we hold about you, as well as obtain certain other information
about our processing activities.
2. Correction. If any personal data we hold about you is incomplete or inaccurate, you can
require us to correct it, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you
provide to us.
3. Erasure. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no
good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or
remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to
processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or
where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
4. Object. Where our reason for processing your personal data is a legitimate interest you
may object to the processing as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms.
You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct
marketing purposes.
5. Restriction. You may ask us to suspend our use of your personal data in the following
scenarios: if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; where our use of your personal
data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; where you need us to hold your data
for a longer period than we usually would, because you need it to establish, exercise or
defend legal claims; or you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify
whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
6. Transfer. Where it is possible, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen,
your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that
this right only applies to personal data provided by you which you initially provided
consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
7. Withdraw consent. Where our reason for processing is based on your consent, you may
withdraw that consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to
provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the
time you withdraw your consent.
8. Automated decision making. You have the right not to be subject to automated decision
making (e.g., profiling) that significantly affects you. The exercise of this right is not
available to you in the following cases:
a. The automated decision is required to enter into, or perform, a contract with you.
b. We have your explicit consent to make such a decision.
c. The automated decision is authorised by the local law of an EU member state.
However, in the first two cases set out above, you still have the right to obtain human
intervention in respect of the decision, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
There may be legal or other reasons why we cannot, or are not obliged to, fulfil a request to
exercise your rights. We will use available lawful exemptions to your individual rights to the
extent appropriate. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.
You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of your rights relating to your personal data.
However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or
excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.
Please note, we may not be able to provide Service without some necessary data.
You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of
your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in
the European Economic Area (EEA).

CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a
Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference and
not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no
uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that
automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online
tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this privacy notice.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Services are also for the use of children below the age of 18 (“Child” or “Children”). We
do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18 without the
consent of the legal guardian. If you become aware that a Child has provided us with Personal
Data without the parent's consent, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected
Personal Data from Children, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

PAYMENTS
We provide paid products and/or services within the Service. We don’t store or collect your
payment details. We may use third-party services for payment processing. In that case, the
information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your
personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to
the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a
joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS
requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

COMPLAINTS
You can notify us of any complaint you may have about our handling of your personal
information via 'Contact us’. We will endeavour to reply to you within 30 days of receipt of the
complaint, while we hope that we will be able to resolve any complaints you may have without
needing to involve third parties.

DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
In Short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by
an updated “Last updated” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is
accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by
