What do we mean by personal data?

Usage Data helps us understand trends in usage of the Services so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor the Services.

In addition to collecting and using Usage Data ourselves, we may share Usage Data with third parties, including our customers, partners and service providers, for various purposes, including to help us better understand customer needs and improve the Services as well as for advertising and marketing purposes. We do not share Usage Data with third parties in a way that would enable them to identify you personally.

Web Beacons

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In particular, this means that your personal data will only be transferred to a country that provides an adequate level of protection (for example, where the European Commission has determined that a country provides an adequate level of protection) or the recipient is bound by standard contractual clause according to conditions provided by the European Commission ("EU Model Clauses").

Our Website and Services are accessible via the internet and may potentially be accessed by anyone around the world. Other users may access the Website or Services from outside the EEA. This means that where you chose to post your data on our Website or upload it to the Services, it could be accessed from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your data outside of the EEA may be deemed to have occurred. You consent to such transfer of your data for and by way of this purpose.

Links to Other Websites

The Websites and Services contain links to other websites and web applications that are not owned or controlled by us. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies.

Protection of Information

We are committed to ensuring the security of your personal data. We utilise robust precautions to protect the confidentiality and security of the personal data within the Services, by employing technological, physical and administrative security safeguards, such as firewalls and carefully-developed security procedures.

For example, when you enter sensitive information (such as login credentials and all your activity on our Services platform) we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). These technologies, procedures and other measures are used in an effort to ensure that your information is safe, secure, and only available to you and to those you authorized to access your information. You are responsible for keeping all passwords confidential and we ask you not to share passwords with anyone.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our Websites and any transmission is at your own risk and you should take care in deciding what information you send to us.
