Sharing of Your Information

We take your privacy seriously and do not share personal data with third parties except under strictly controlled circumstances and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. Situations where we may need to share your data include:

  • Third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our services, analytics, website management, email communications, and marketing initiatives. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data;
  • Legal authorities if required by law, regulation, or legal process. We may disclose personal information in order to protect the rights, property, or safety of our subscribers, our company, or others;

We ensure that all third-party disclosures are carried out with due diligence, ensuring that your personal data is only shared with entities that conform to strict data security and privacy protective measures.

Data Retention

The duration for which we retain your personal data depends on the type of information collected and the purpose for which it is processed. We adhere to a principle of minimization, meaning that:

  • Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary to perform the functions for which it was collected;
  • When data is no longer required for its fundamental purpose or once you have withdrawn your consent, it will be securely and irreversibly deleted or anonymized;
  • Retention periods for specific types of data may be defined by applicable legal obligations or internal requirements, following a thorough review to prevent unnecessary storage.

If there are any legal or contractual reasons necessitating a longer retention period, your data will be stored securely, and you will be informed about such measures.

Access, Update, and Deletion of Your Personal Information

We believe that you have a right to control your personal information. As such, you have the right to request access to, rectify, update, or delete your personal data that we hold. In order to exercise these rights, you may do the following:

  • Access: You may request a detailed report on the personal data we process and the purposes for which the data is used.
  • Correction/Update: Should you notice any inaccuracies or wish to update your information, you are entitled to submit requests for corrections so that it remains current and accurate;
  • Deletion: Under circumstances permitted by law, you may request that your personal data is removed from our systems. Before proceeding with any deletion, please note that certain data records may be retained in an anonymized or aggregated form in order to maintain compliance with our legal and auditing obligations; however, this data will no longer be personally identifiable.

If you wish to review or modify the settings associated with your data, please contact us using the designated procedures outlined on our website. We are committed to responding to your requests without undue delay. In most cases, requests are handled within a reasonable time frame in accordance with prevailing data protection requirements.

Please note that if you decide to withdraw your consent or exercise any right, such actions will not affect the lawfulness of the processing conducted prior to your withdrawal. Any request regarding the access, rectification, or deletion of your information should reference this privacy statement and be submitted through the established communication channels, as described in our contact information provided elsewhere on our site.

Security Measures

We employ a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include, but are not limited to:

  • Data encryption in transit and at rest to ensure that personal information is kept secure;
  • Restricted access controls implemented within our systems to ensure that only authorized personnel can handle your data;
  • Regular reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices to maintain best-in-class security standards;
  • Immediate response protocols that address any potential security breach or unauthorized access to your personal information.

While we strive to secure your personal data, please be aware that no internet-based system is 100% secure. Hence, while we take all reasonable steps to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Transfers and International Processing

In circumstances where personal information of our subscribers may be transferred or processed outside of the original geographical location, we ensure that all such efforts are undertaken in strict compliance with the required data protection principles. We implement safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or other recognized legal instruments to protect your personal data during international transfers.

All transfers are executed in adherence to the prevailing data protection laws, ensuring that your rights and privacy are not compromised regardless of the processing location.
