Should you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority where you live or where you believe a breach may have occurred. We encourage you to come to us in the first instance but, to the extent that this right applies to you, you are entitled to complain directly to the relevant Supervisory Authority.
1. Right to withdraw consent: Wherever we rely on your consent, you will be able to withdraw that consent at any time you choose and at your own initiative. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the collection and processing of your data based on your consent up until the moment where you withdraw your consent.
2. Right to access and rectify your data: You have the right to access, review, and rectify your Personal Data. You may be entitled to ask us for a copy of your information, to review or correct it if you wish to rectify any information like your name, email address, passwords and/or any other preferences, you can easily do so by logging into your profile as detailed above.

Is your Personal Data transferred outside the EEA?
For the purposes described in this policy, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA, notably to countries that do not provide an ‘adequate’ level of data protection. However, when such a transfer happens, we ensure that it takes place in accordance with this Policy and that the necessary safeguards are put in place, ensuring that the transfer is (i) either regulated by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate protection or (ii) done to an organisation that complies with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework as implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce in case the transfer is made to the United States of America.
How long will we keep your Personal Data?
We retain your Personal Data for as long as is required to fulfil the activities set out in this Privacy Policy, for as long as otherwise communicated to you or for as long as is permitted by applicable law. For example, we may retain your Personal Data if it is reasonably necessary to comply with any legal obligations, meet any regulatory requirements, resolve any disputes or litigation, or as otherwise needed to enforce this Policy and prevent fraud and abuse.
To determine the appropriate retention period for the information we collect from you, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we process the Personal Data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Does this Privacy Policy apply to Third Party websites?
