4. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We maintain a variety of security measures to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, as no method of internet transmission is completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

When registering for an account through the Services, it’s important that you select a strong password and do not share it with others. Alert us immediately if you have any concerns about unauthorized use of your account.

5. DATA RETENTION

We retain information for different periods of time depending on the purposes for which we collect and use it, as described in this Privacy Policy. We will delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed to fulfill these purposes, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with applicable laws.

6. CHILDREN’S INFORMATION

Our Services are intended for general audiences and are not directed at children. If we become aware that we have collected data without legally valid parental consent from children under an age where such consent is required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Services allow you to connect to, and exchange data with, third-party applications, and may also contain links to third-party sites and services.
