Depending on the permissions you grant, the third party may be able to obtain your account information and other information you choose to provide.

Your Rights

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you live, you may be entitled to certain rights with respect to your personal information, subject to certain exceptions, as described below:

• Right to Know. You may have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which it is collected, the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing it, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it.
• Access and Data Portability. You may have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we collected about you.

To exercise one of these rights, or if you have any questions about your rights, please contact us at the email address provided at the bottom of this policy. You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to submit a request through an authorized agent. To designate an authorized agent to exercise choices on your behalf, please provide evidence that you have given such agent power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.

Your Choices

• You can control and access some of your personal information directly through your in-app settings. For example, you can delete the user content you have created and uploaded directly in the app through your in-app settings. Should you choose to do so, you may also delete your entire account via your in-app settings. Further, you can update certain personal information that you have provided to us by logging into your account and using available features and functionalities.
• You may also be able to control some of the information we collect about you through your device browser settings to refuse or disable Cookies. Because each browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your browser. Please note that you may need to take additional steps to refuse or disable certain types of Cookies. In addition, your choice to disable Cookies is specific to the particular browser or device that you are using when you disable Cookies, so you may need to separately disable Cookies for each type of browser or device. If you choose to refuse, disable, or delete Cookies, some of the functionality of the Platform may no longer be available to you. Without this information, we are not able to provide you with all of the requested services.
• Please note that your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and/or across different websites. Our products do not support Do Not Track requests at this time.

Data Security

We use reasonable measures to help protect information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should understand that no data storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. Please note that information collected by third parties may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as it is necessary to serve the purpose(s) for which such information was collected, including to provide you with the Platform. We also retain information when necessary to comply with contractual and legal obligations, when we have a legitimate business interest to do so (such as improving and developing the Platform, and enhancing its safety, security and stability), and for the exercise or defense of legal claims.

We may transmit your data to our servers or data centers outside of the United States for storage and/or processing purposes. Where we transfer any personal data out of the country where you live, including for one or more of the purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy, we will do so in accordance with the requirements of applicable data protection laws, including by entering into data transfer agreements with the recipient to ensure your personal data is accorded an adequate level of protection.
