In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (“third parties”) who perform services for us or on our behalf. These third parties have contracts designed to help safeguard your personal information. They cannot do anything with your personal information unless we instruct them and cannot share your information with any organization apart from us.

We will only retain your personal information as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we no longer have legitimate business needs to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not possible (e.g., because information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

7. How do we keep your information safe?

In short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect the security of any personal information we process.

The transmission of personal information to and from our Services occurs at your own risk. You should access the Services only through a secure environment.

8. Do we collect information from minors?
