Those parts are:

Please let us know if you have any questions about these terms.

Part A              Privacy Policy

We take your privacy very seriously. Please read this privacy policy carefully as it contains important information on how and why we collect, store, use and share any information relating to you (your personal data).

It also explains your rights in relation to your personal data and how to contact us or the relevant regulator in the event you have a complaint. Our collection, storage, use and sharing of your personal data is regulated by law, including under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

We are the controller of personal data obtained via the Services, meaning we are the organisation legally responsible for deciding how and for what purposes it is used.

2                   What this policy applies to

This privacy policy relates to your use of the Services only.

The Services may link to or rely on other apps, websites, APIs or services owned and operated by us or by certain trusted third parties to enable us to provide you with Services. These other apps, websites, APIs or services may also gather information about you in accordance with their own separate privacy policies. For privacy information relating to these other apps, websites or services, please consult their privacy policies as appropriate. For more information see the section ‘Who we share your personal data with’ below.

3                   Personal data we collect about you

The personal data we collect about you depends on the particular activities carried out through the Services. We will collect and use the following personal data about you:

Category of data

In more detail

Identify and account data you input into the Services

·        Your name and email address

·        Your account details, such as username and password

Data collected when you use specific functions in the Services

Data you store online with us using the Services including your usage history or preferences (while such data may not always be personal data as defined at law in all cases we will assume it is and treat it in accordance with this policy as if it were)

Other data the Services collects automatically when you use it

·        Your activities on, and use of, the Services which reveal your preferences, interests or manner of use of the Services and the times of use

If you do not provide personal data we ask for where it is required, including the geo-localisation services, it may prevent us from providing services and/or the Services to you.

We collect and use this personal data for the purposes described in the section ‘How and why we use your personal data’ below.

Please note that we do not knowingly or intentionally collect sensitive personal data or information about criminal convictions from individuals and that you should not submit sensitive data to us.

If, however you do submit sensitive data to us, such as if you make this sensitive data available to other users of the Services (such as by publishing it through any forum feature we may make available from time to time) we will assume that you have purposefully made any such sensitive data manifestly public.

5                   How your personal data is collected

We collect personal data from you directly when you sign up to the Services, contact us directly or reach out to us via social media, or indirectly, such as your activity while using the Services.

Under data protection law, we can only use your personal data if we have a proper reason, e.g.:

(iii)               for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or

(iv)               for our legitimate interests or those of a third party

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own. You can obtain details of this assessment by contacting us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

We or the third parties mentioned above may occasionally also need to share your personal data with:

Following the end of the of the aforementioned retention period, we will delete or anonymise your personal data.

11                Transferring your personal data out of the UK

At this point in time, we do not transfer your personal data outside of the UK.

Any updated destinations to which we send your personal data, would be indicated in the present section and notified to you in accordance with the section on ‘Change to this privacy policy’ below.

Furthermore, under UK data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside the UK where: the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR; there are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for you; or a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law. Accordingly, if we were to start transferring your personal data from the UK to:

§      The EEA: we would rely on the adequacy finding granted by the UK to the EU under the Withdrawal Agreement to do; for any transfers from the EU to the UK, we would rely on the adequacy regulation granted to the UK under the Adequacy Decision.

§      Any country located outside the UK/EEA: we would rely an appropriate safeguards under the UK GDPR, such as by including the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses in our data processing agreements

In the event we could not or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any time we would not transfer your personal data outside the UK unless we could do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by UK data protection law.

12                if you’re from OUTSIDE the uK, transferring your personal data

Where your data is transferred to another country by us, we will take steps to ensure that the third parties concerned adhere to the commitments set out in this Privacy Policy. By using our Services, you agree to your information being transferred and processed outside of the United States of America, Canada, Australia, the UK, as applicable, and waive any claims that may arise as a result of such transfer.
