Terms related to EU/EEA users
Legal basis for processing personal data (for EU/EEA users)
If you are an individual in the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process data about you only where we have a legal basis for doing so under applicable EU laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis depends on the way in which you use Websites. This means we collect and use your data only where:
- It is necessary for the performance of a contract, such as to provide you with the services you requested, including operating the services, providing customer support and personalised features, and protecting the safety and security of the services, including all processing necessary for the performance of our contract(s) with you;
- It satisfies a legitimate interest that is not outweighed by your data protection rights and interests, such as for research and development, to market and promote our services, and protect our legal rights and interests;
- You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or
- We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
In any case, we will gladly help clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, particularly whether the provision of personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Your rights as a data subject
We respect the privacy of your personal information and ensure that you may exercise your rights. You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law, if you are within the EU/EEA, to:
- Request access to your personal information. The right to view, modify or delete your personal information. Whenever feasible, you may immediately view, modify, or delete your personal information by emailing us at [email protected]. This also allows you to get a copy of the personal information we maintain on you.
- Request corrections to the personal information we have on file about you. You have the right to have inaccurate or incomplete information about you rectified.
- Object to processing of your personal information. This right arises when we rely on legitimate interest as the legal basis for our processing, and there is something about your specific circumstances that compel you to object to our processing of your personal information on this basis. You also have the right to object when your personal information is used for direct marketing purposes.
- Request deletion of your personal information. You have the right to request that we delete or erase your personal information where there is no compelling reason for us to retain it.
- Request the transfer of your personal information. Your personal information will be sent to you or a third party of your choosing in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to the automated information for which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw your permission. You may withdraw your permission for the processing of your personal information. If you withdraw your permission, we may no longer be able to provide you with access to particular Website functionalities.
If you would like to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please contact us at [email protected].
No fee is usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Timeframe for responding to a request
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Disclosure of your personal data
We may disclose aggregated data about our users and information that does not identify any individual without restriction. We may disclose personal data that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy:
- To our subsidiaries and affiliates;
- To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal data confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them;
- To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganisation, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all Company’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal data held by Company about our Websites users is among the assets transferred;
- To fulfil the purpose for which you provide it;
- With your consent.
We may also disclose your personal data:
- To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request;
- To enforce or apply our Terms of use or Privacy Policy and other agreements; and
- If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging data with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Hyperlinks to third-party websites
The Websites include links to third-party websites over which the Company has no control. Any information you send to third-party websites will be controlled by their own terms of service and privacy policies. Therefore, we strongly advise you to explore and ask questions before submitting any information to the operators of third-party websites and to get acquainted with their privacy practices by examining their privacy notices and privacy policies.
Inclusion of third-party websites on or accessible via our Websites does not imply an explicit or implied endorsement of the policies or notices of such websites.

Sharing of personal data
We may disclose your personal data to a third party for business purposes or sell your personal data, subject to your right to opt-out of those sales. When we disclose personal data for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to keep that personal data confidential and not use it for any purpose except the contract.

Sale of personal information
As defined in the CCPA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer's personal information by the business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that we may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
Please note that the following categories are those specified by the CCPA. This does not imply that all instances of this category of personal information were, in fact, sold; rather, it represents our good faith judgment, to the best of our knowledge, that some of the information from the relevant category may be and may have been exchanged for value in return.
We may sell and may have sold the following categories of personal information in the last twelve (12) months:
- Category A. Identifiers.

We do not sell the personal data of consumers we actually know less than 16 years of age unless we receive affirmative authorisation (the "right to opt-in") from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal data may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorised representative) may submit a request to us at [email protected].

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Websites that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at [email protected].
