tracking technology in the App by going to About in your App and disable the

Accessing and Correcting Your Personal
data
You can review and change your personal
data by logging into the App and visiting your account profile page. If you are
not able to find your personal data, you may also send us an email at
to
request access to, correct, or delete any personal data that you have provided
to us. You may also object to or request us to restrict the processing of your personal
data. If we process your personal data based on consent, you may withdraw your
consent at any time by contacting us (see below). A summary of your legal
rights is set out below:
· Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
· Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
· Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data if there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
· Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on our legitimate interest (or that of a third party), and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you believe it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.
· Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
· Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
· Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
For security reasons, we will take steps to authenticate your identity before providing access to your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant Data Protection Authority.
If you delete your User Contributions from the App, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other App users. Proper access and use of information provided on the App, including User Contributions, is governed by our Terms and Conditions.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
Your personal data will be retained for as long as required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or insofar as such is necessary for compliance with statutory obligations and for solving any disputes.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data; the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and the applicable legal requirements.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our App, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the App like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the App.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted through our App. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If we made material modifications to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you sending you an in-App alert the first time you use the App after we make the change. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the App thereafter; provided, to the extent required by law, we will seek your affirmative consent prior to applying material modifications to this Privacy Policy on how we use or disclose personal data that we collected or received prior to the date of the modification. You are expected to check this Privacy Policy frequently, so you are aware of any modifications, as they are binding on you.
