All personal information you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such information.

2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

In short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts, so you can create and log in to your account and keep it in working order.
To deliver and facilitate delivery of services to you, in order to provide you with the services you request.
To respond to inquiries and offer support, to respond to your questions and resolve any issues with the requested service.

3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situation:

Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.

4. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice, unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice requires us to keep your personal information longer than the period during which you have an account with us.

When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if that is not possible (for example, because it is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

5. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.
