You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any aspect thereof.

Third-Party Services and links thereto are provided solely as a convenience to You and You access and use them entirely at Your own risk and subject to such Third-Parties’ terms and conditions.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We may be collecting or using information from You if You are from the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of Our Privacy Policy, We are going to explain exactly how and why is this data collected, and how We maintain this data under protection from being replicated or being used in the wrong way.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents’ data is protected by companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over their personal data.

What is personal data?

 Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical addresses, sexual orientation and ethnicity. The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

  • Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
  • Personal data should only be collected to fulfil a specific purpose and it should only be used for that purpose. Organisations must specify why they need personal data when they collect it.
  • Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfil its purpose.
  • People covered under GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organisation.

Why is GDPR important?

GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals’ personal data they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing and imposing greater fines for breaches. Beyond these facts, it’s simply the right thing to do. We strongly believe that your data privacy is very important.
