Third-party links

This Privacy Policy does not cover privacy information (including cooking and other tracking technologies) that may be collected by third-party websites that You may enter through hyperlinks on Our Website. We have no control over such third-party sites. Each such site has its own privacy policy, which You should carefully read before entering any personal data at that site. We will not accept any liability connected to the policies of such third-party websites. Accordingly, if You choose to follow a link to any of these sites, all risks that may arise from the use of third-party websites to which We have referred you are knowingly and voluntarily borne by you as the user.

If You choose to share any of Your personal information to a third-party site, to which Our Website or Services refer you, then Our Privacy Policy will not be applicable.

Using your information

Apart from the reasons outlined in this Privacy Policy, the information that We collect from the User may also be used for the following purposes:

  • To adhere to any legal and regulatory obligations of the Website, including but not limited to any legislative requirements regarding the participation of any competitions made available by our Website;
  • To preserve the safety and security of Our Website;
  • To evaluate the relevance of the accessed content to You;
  • Improving and modifying Our Services through conducting research or analytics.

Moreover, We may utilize data in response to government requests following any applicable laws and regulations, or to respond to any court demands or requests by an equivalent legal entity.

Sharing your information

Data gathered by Us might be shared by Us as follows:

Service providers and others

The Company may share Your Personal Information with particular trusted third-party service providers and business partners, so as to aid them in performing their function and processing User data on the behalf of the Website.

Carrying out research, analytics or technical diagnostics.

The processing of anonymized data to third parties according to the methods described above will follow strictly the security obligations outlined in this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Other disclosures

We may share and disclose anonymized data with advisers, auditors, and any potential investors or purchasers in the Company. Such data may also be shared with Our affiliates and subsidiaries.

In a case of corporate transaction in which the Company has an interest, such as for instance, a merger, the sale of a major part of the Company's business, or the purchase of any other business or asset by the Company, We may share information with the prospective buyer or seller of such assets or business.

Besides the above cases, information may also be shared if it is Our belief that disclosing such information would be helpful or reasonably necessary so as to comply with any legal obligation, governmental request or applicable law; enforce any legal rights such as intellectual property; take action when it comes to any illegal activities or other types of wrongdoing, such as security issues and suspected fraud; enforce our internal policies; exercise out rights to contest legal claims; and prevent harm to Our, Your, or any third party's safety or rights.

Retention of your information

We only retain personal information and anonymized data for the period during which our agreements and policies demand for the sake of security and law compliance. We make all reasonable effort to maintain the safety and security of our data according to all the conditions laid out in this Privacy Policy.

Security and transfer of your information

By interacting with our site You agree that You have read Our Privacy Policy and accept its terms for storing and processing such information. We will endeavour to do all that is reasonably necessary to ensure that any data collected from you is being processed and stored securely and according to this Privacy Policy.

It is essential for the Company to be furnished with adequate security for both the Services and Your Personal Information. This means that the realization and maintenance of security procedures are allotted a lot of attention: the Company utilizes industry-standard policies and procedures to avoid the unauthorized use of any Non-Personal Information. Despite all Our considerable efforts to protect Our data, We cannot guarantee that We will be able to stop all unlawful access to it or any exploitation of our Services.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the internet is not entirely secure. The Company makes every possible effort to safeguard information, but it is impossible to guarantee that all information transferred to our Website will be secure; any internet-based transmission is carried out at Your own risk.

The Company operates on a global scale, which means that we may need to transmit Your Personal Information to countries within and outside of the European Union ("EU"). What is important to note about this is that data protection and other relevant laws of countries outside of the EU may be less comprehensive than the laws and regulations within the EU. In such a situation, the Company will endeavour to take all reasonably necessary measures to provide You with an equivalent level of protection when it comes to any anonymized data collected from You. When You interact with this Website You give Your consent to the transmission of any anonymized data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
