In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third parties that we may link to or who advertise on our Services, but are not affiliated with, our Services.

Our Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications, and may contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us. We do not endorse or guarantee any third party’s practices, and we are not liable for any loss or damage caused by use of their sites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of any data you provide to these third parties; you should review their privacy policies directly.

6. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. These technologies help us maintain security, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and support basic site functions.

We also allow third parties and service providers to use tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising purposes—such as managing and displaying ads, tailoring ads to your interests, and sending abandoned cart reminders (subject to your communication preferences). Under certain US state laws, this may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of data; you can opt out as described in the section “DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?” Specific details on our use of cookies and how to refuse them are available in our Cookie Notice.

7. DO WE OFFER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED PRODUCTS?

In Short: We offer products, features, or tools powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, or similar technologies.

As part of our Services, we provide AI-powered products, features, or tools (collectively, “AI Products”) designed to enhance your experience with innovative solutions. The terms in this Privacy Notice govern your use of these AI Products.

  • Use of AI Technologies. Our AI Products are delivered through third-party service providers (“AI Service Providers”), including OpenAI. Your inputs, outputs, and personal information may be shared with and processed by these providers to enable the AI functionality. You must not use the AI Products in any way that violates our AI Service Providers’ terms or policies.

  • How We Process Your Data Using AI. All personal information processed via our AI Products is handled in accordance with this Privacy Notice and our agreements with AI Service Providers, ensuring robust security and safeguarding of your data throughout the process.

8. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

9. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill 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). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than twelve (12) months past the termination of the user’s account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, 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.

10. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational 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 unauthorized 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, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

11. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Depending on your region, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information.

Depending on your state of residence in the US or region (EEA, UK, Switzerland, Canada), you may have rights to:

  • Request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal information
  • Restrict the processing of your personal information
  • Exercise data portability, where applicable
  • Object to automated decision-making, where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, or to unsubscribe from marketing communications, please contact us at [email protected]. We will consider and act upon your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) setting you can enable to signal your preference not to have your online activities monitored. At this time, no industry standard for honoring DNT signals has been adopted, so we do not respond to DNT or any other automated tracking signals. If a standard is established in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice accordingly.

Under California law, we must inform you how we respond to DNT signals. Because no standard exists, we do not honor DNT at this time.
