We also collect, use and share statistical or demographic data that has been aggregated and anonymized, meaning it doesn’t directly or indirectly reveal your identity (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data as it isn’t used to personally identify you. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature.

We may find it necessary to use your Personal Data for a reason not listed above. We will only do so if the new purpose is compatible with these purposes and if the new use does not outweigh your privacy interests. We will notify you if we determine that our new intended use for your Personal Data is outside the scope of those listed above. You are encouraged to contact us with any questions about our use of your Personal Data.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data Under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

  4. For payment processing purposes
  5. To comply with the law

We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of the Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Many of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  1. We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries.
  2. Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give Personal Data the same protection it has in Europe. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
  3. Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

Service Providers

We may employ Service Providers to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how the Service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
