Your data can be stored via our hosting provider's data storage, databases and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and it provides secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

 

Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, publish or otherwise disclose to us or others.

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and, where possible, not to provide us or others with confidential information that you feel could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. As email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not share confidential information via either of these communication channels.

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH MINORS

Children can use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. The collection of some data (including data collected via cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies) may be automatic. If we knowingly collect, use or disclose information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We will not condition a child's participation in an online activity on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We will only use the information we collect in connection with the services that the child has requested.

 

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities on the Services. Parents may review information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting any further information from their child, and request that any information we have collected be deleted from our records.

 

Please contact us to view, update or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe that your identity is questionable. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to fulfil legal or regulatory obligations, or

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that this is done at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).
