This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
The information we collect includes:
- Identifiers. Identifier is a device and browser-specific unique random string that we generate when you use our Service.

- Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

- Analyse how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users
- Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities
- Legal Obligations.

- If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
- If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced

6. How long do we keep your information?¶
In Short
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
7. How do we keep your information safe?¶
In Short
We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
8. What are your privacy rights?¶
In Short
We strive to protect your privacy rights and choices to the best possible extent under the law.
You have rights under certain data protection laws. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law. These rights include:

- Right to request the deletion of your personal data

How to exercise your rights¶
It is very unlikely that you will be able to exercise the above rights as we do not collect any identifiable personal data from you.
We are unable to reply to and act on data subject access request as we do not save any identifiable information about you, and we will not be able to verify your identity.
If you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you can contact the relevant data protection regulator, state attorney general, or other competent authority in your jurisdiction.

Withdraw your consent¶

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the button on the top of this page or the button below:
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Cookies and similar technologies¶
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this will NOT affect the availability and functionality of our Services.
9. Controls for Do-Not-Track features¶
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (‘DNT’) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. Although we cannot promise to honour every DNT signal, we strive to honour all such requests where technically feasible.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because we cannot guarantee to recognise and houour all DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
10. Do residents in certain jurisdiction have specific privacy rights?¶
NO.
All men and women are created equal.
We provide the same privacy rights to all individuals, regardless of their location.
Be assured that we will treat you with the same respect and dignity as we would want to be treated.
11. How can you review, update, or delete the data we collect from you?¶
It is very unlikely that you will be able to review, update, or delete the data we collect from you as we do not collect any identifiable personal data from you, and we will not be able to identify which data belongs to you.
12. Do we make updates to this notice?¶
In Short
Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.
We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated ‘Last Revised Date’ at the top of this privacy notice. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by posting the new privacy notice on this page. We are unable to notify you directly as we do not collect any contact information from you.
