Below is an extensive and comprehensive breakdown of how, when, and why your information may be shared.

By using our services, you consent to this practice.

 

4.8. Profile Sharing and Public Accessibility

 

Our platform allows users to share profile links externally, potentially making your publicly available information accessible outside of our platform. If you opt into certain features, such as social media sharing, portions of your profile may become visible beyond our controlled environment.

While we provide options to manage certain privacy settings, your ability to restrict data sharing is limited. However, you may:

 

4.10. International Data Transfers

 

Given the global nature of our operations and the interconnected digital landscape in which we operate, it is possible that your personal data may be transferred across international borders to be processed, stored, or otherwise handled in jurisdictions that may have different, and in some cases more stringent, data protection and privacy laws than those applicable in your home country. We recognize the importance of safeguarding your personal information and, where necessary, we implement appropriate protective measures to ensure that your data remains secure and is treated in accordance with recognized privacy standards. To facilitate such international data transfers in a legally compliant manner, we typically rely on established mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses, which are widely accepted contractual provisions designed to ensure that any entity processing your data outside your jurisdiction adheres to a certain standard of privacy and security obligations.

 

4.11. Policy Updates and Changes

 

We may modify this policy at any time without prior notice. Updates will be reflected on our platform, and continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any revised terms.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other reporting requirements, or as otherwise permitted by law. In determining the appropriate retention period for personal information, we take into account various factors, including but not limited to: 

 

 

Reminder that deleting information from your profile or closing your account does not guarantee its complete removal. Copies may still exist if shared with others or stored elsewhere. We do not have control over this and bear no responsibility for it. Additionally, third-party applications or websites with prior access to your information may retain it according to their own terms and policies.

In certain cases, the retention period for your personal information may vary depending on the type of account you have with us and whether your account remains active, deactivated, or has been deleted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to retain certain categories of personal information beyond the standard retention period in specific circumstances, including but not limited to: 

 

 

For avoidance of doubt, personal information that has been fully anonymized, de-identified, or aggregated may be retained indefinitely for research, statistical, analytical, or other business purposes, provided that such information does not allow for the direct or indirect identification of any individual.

 

Additionally, we may retain transactional records, including purchase histories, complaint logs, payment details, and other records related to your interactions with us, even after the deletion of your account or the expiration of the standard retention period, if such retention is necessary for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, regulatory reporting, audit purposes, financial record-keeping, or other legitimate business interests. While we implement industry-standard security practices, no online system can be entirely secure, and users should exercise caution when sharing personal data.

 

  1. 6. YOUR RIGHTS & CHOICES

 

We are committed to ensuring that you have full transparency and control over your personal data. As part of our commitment to data protection and privacy, we recognize and facilitate the exercise of various rights regarding your personal information. These rights, which may be subject to limitations based on the applicable laws in your jurisdiction, allow you to access, manage, and, where necessary, restrict the processing of your data. Below, we provide a detailed explanation of these rights, as well as the means through which you may exercise them.

 

Rights

Explanation


How to Exercise This Right


Right to Access, Data Portability, and the Right to Know


You have the right to be informed about the categories of personal data we collect, store, and process about you, as well as to obtain a copy of such data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. This right is commonly referred to as the right of access or data portability.


Some of your personal data may be accessible directly by logging into your account and navigating to the relevant settings where you can view and review certain details associated with your profile. If you require further assistance in exercising this right, please contact us through the appropriate communication channels.


Right to Rectification or Correction


If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, you have the right to request that such data be corrected or updated to reflect accurate and complete information. This ensures that your personal information remains current and correct.


In most instances, you may update or correct certain personal details directly within our service by accessing the relevant settings in your profile and making the necessary modifications. If there are additional inaccuracies in other personal data that cannot be modified through your account settings, you may submit a request for rectification by contacting us.


Right to Deletion or Erasure


You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, sometimes referred to as the "right to be forgotten," which allows you to request that we remove certain or all personal data associated with your account, subject to the limitations outlined in our Privacy Policy and applicable laws.


Certain personal data that you have provided to us may be removed directly through your account settings within our service. Additionally, if you wish to permanently delete all personal data associated with your account, you may initiate an account closure request through our platform. Once your account is closed, your personal data will be deleted in accordance with the provisions set out in this Privacy Policy. Should you require further assistance regarding the deletion of specific data, you may contact us.


Right to Object to Processing or Restriction of Processing


You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where such processing is based on legitimate interests, or where you wish to request that the processing of your data be temporarily or permanently restricted under certain circumstances. This right allows you to limit or prevent further processing of your personal data.


You may opt out of specific types of personal data processing directly through your account settings by adjusting your preferences accordingly. If you wish to object to or restrict a specific data processing activity that we carry out, as described in our Privacy Policy, you may submit a formal request by contacting us. Depending on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements, we will assess your request and respond accordingly.


Right to Withdraw Consent


Where we process your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to the withdrawal of consent but will prevent further processing based on that consent.


You may withdraw consent for certain types of data processing directly within your account settings by modifying the relevant preferences. Additionally, if you have previously granted certain device permissions such as access to specific device data (e.g., phone contacts, photos, advertising identifiers, or location services) or permission to receive push notifications, you can revoke those permissions through your device settings.


Please be advised that withdrawing consent may impact the functionality or availability of certain features within our service. If you require further clarification or assistance regarding consent withdrawal, you may contact us through our platform.

 

  1. 7. VERIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

 

We take the security and privacy of our members seriously. To ensure that we are addressing requests appropriately and safeguarding your personal data from unauthorised access or misuse, we may require you to provide sufficient information to verify your identity or to demonstrate your authority to act on behalf of another member before we can process certain requests. This precautionary measure is implemented to prevent unauthorised parties from gaining access to, modifying, or controlling your personal data. The protection of your personal information is a priority, and we are committed to ensuring that only you, or an authorised individual acting on your behalf, can exercise the rights related to your data.

 

It is important to note that we reserve the right to decline requests under certain circumstances. A request may be rejected if we are unable to verify your identity or authority to act on another’s behalf, if the request does not comply with applicable legal requirements, or if granting the request would be unlawful or invalid. Additionally, we may decline requests where fulfilling them would compromise our legitimate business interests, infringe upon trade secrets, violate intellectual property rights, or affect the privacy and legal rights of other individuals.

 

If your request relates to obtaining information associated with another member—such as requesting a copy of messages exchanged with them—we are unable to disclose such information unless the other member submits a request independently. In such cases, the individual whose data is being requested must exercise their own rights directly to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and privacy laws.

 

  1. 8. APPEALS PROCESS FOR RESIDENTS OF CERTAIN U.S. STATES

 

For residents of specific states within the United States including Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut, if we deny your privacy-related request, you may have the right to appeal this decision. Should you wish to initiate an appeal, you must contact us through the appropriate channels and explicitly reference the term “Privacy Rights Appeal” in your communication. This will ensure that your appeal is properly identified and reviewed in accordance with the applicable legal framework.

 

  1. 9. ESCALATION AND COMPLAINTS TO DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITIES

 

Individuals residing in certain countries, including those within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), have the right to pursue further action if they have concerns regarding the manner in which their personal data is being processed. This includes the right to seek judicial remedies and the right to lodge a formal complaint with the appropriate data protection authority in their respective jurisdiction.

 

If you believe that your rights under applicable data protection laws have been violated or that your personal data is being processed in a manner that is inconsistent with legal requirements, you have the option to escalate your concerns to the relevant regulatory body. 

 

We remain committed to ensuring that our data handling practices align with relevant legal standards and that you are provided with accessible avenues to exercise your rights. If you require additional information or further assistance regarding any of the matters outlined above, we encourage you to reach out to us through our designated contact channels.
