How We Use Your Personal Information

We may also use information to provide product recommendations and personalize the Services.

Where permitted by applicable law, we may use personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, including sending marketing communications and displaying advertisements that may be relevant to your interests.

Where consent is legally required, such activities will only be carried out after the necessary consent has been obtained.

We use your personal information to provide customer support, respond to your requests and maintain our relationship with you.

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may contain links to websites or online platforms operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy or content of third-party websites or services.

Children’s Personal Information

The Services are not intended for children below the legal age required to use such services in their jurisdiction.

Security and Retention

We take reasonable measures designed to protect personal information. However, no security system or method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements and policies.

Once personal information is no longer required and there is no other lawful basis for retaining it, it may be deleted, destroyed or anonymized in accordance with applicable law.

Even if you unsubscribe from promotional communications, we may continue to send non-promotional communications relating to your account, purchases, transactions or other services you have requested.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, applicable data protection laws may provide you with additional rights, including the right to object to or restrict processing and, where processing is based on consent, to withdraw your consent.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used in connection with international transfers of personal information.

For transfers from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, this may include recognized transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
