4. Use and Processing of Collected Information

We act as a data controller and a data processor when handling personal information, unless we have entered into a data processing agreement with you, in which case you would be the data controller and we would be the data processor.

Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving personal information. We act in the capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your personal information that is necessary to ensure your access and use of the Website and Services. In such instances, we are a data controller because we determine the purposes and means of the processing of personal information.

We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit personal information through the Website and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted personal information, and such personal information is processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User providing personal information acts as a data controller.

In order to make the Website and Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect and use certain personal information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used to help us run and operate the Website and Services.

Processing your personal information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are located in the world, and if one of the following applies:

• You have given your consent for one or more specific purposes;
• Provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject;
• Processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
• Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

Note that under some legislations, we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular, whether the provision of personal information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

5. Disclosure of Information

To maintain the highest level of privacy and to protect your personal information to the full extent, we do not share your personal information with any third parties, except as follows:

• If required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or government request;
• When necessary to protect our legal rights, investigate fraud, or respond to legal processes;
• With trusted service providers who assist us in operating our Website and Services, subject to strict confidentiality agreements.

SMS opt-in or phone numbers for the purpose of SMS are not being shared with any third party or affiliate company for marketing purposes.

6. Retention of Information

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Once the retention period expires, personal information is deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
