HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
The privacy and security of your data is important to us. We use digital and physical security and process controls to protect your data. We encrypt and anonymize data where we can and it makes sense. Even inside our company, we limit access to your data as much as we can.
We need your help to keep your data safe! When you make an account, we ask you to pick a password. If you give a friend your password, it is much harder for us to keep your data safe. You should not use the same password across sites. That makes your data much less safe, and it’s very hard for us to protect you from someone else’s breach.
Bad guys are tricky! They sometimes pretend to be us to trick you into giving them your data. Don’t get tricked, we will never ask you for your password.
HOLDING YOUR DATA
We need your data to fulfill our contracts with you, provide you great products and excellent service, and comply with some laws. We plan to keep your data until we no longer have a relationship with you or for as long as it is required by contract or law.
MINORS
We do not want to collect any data from people under the age of 16. If we learn that we collected any such data, we will delete it.
YOUR RIGHTS
Our goal is to serve you. We know you want to control your data and you have the right to do so. We serve customers in many countries, and data privacy laws differ from one to another. Here is a list of the rights you have in the European Union:
- You can ask us to correct your data or to delete some of it;
- You can ask for a copy of your data or info about what we collect, why, who we share it with, etc.;
- You can ask us to transfer data you gave us to other companies;
- You can ask us to stop using some data;
- You can ask us to stop sending you marketing;
- You can make a complaint to a local data protection authority;
We plan to defend your rights and work with you to make sure you feel that your data is protected. If you have any questions regarding your rights, please Contact Us.
To keep you safe, we will need to verify your identity before we can assist you with these rights.

We may update this Policy from time to time. We’ll post the new policy here. This Policy was last updated on 18 May 2018.
