How long we keep your personal information

We’ll keep your personal information as long as your account is active or as long as it is needed to provide a service. We have retention polices for each of the categories of personal information that we process.

If you’d like for us to delete your data, we’ll only keep information that we need for legal reasons, to resolve disputes or to enforce our agreements.

Our employees

Whether you’re an existing employee or applying for a job with us, we will process specific information relevant for your employment and application. The principles in this Privacy Policy will also apply to your employment and application.

Data security and integrity

The security, integrity and confidentiality of customer information is extremely important to us. We use technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use and modification. All external transfers that contain personal information are done using encrypted technology. Credit card information is handled by approved service providers that meet PCI (Payment Card Industry) standards and have appropriate safeguards in place.

Although we regularly review our security procedures and evaluate new technology and methods to make our online channels safer, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Our customers, employees and partners also play an important role in protecting information. We encourage customers to choose passwords that are difficult for others to guess and to keep their personal passwords secret.

Should you notice any flaws or concerns in our security, please contact us as soon as possible.

If we ever experience a data breach in which customer information is at risk of being misused, we’ll contact customers according to legal requirements. If necessary, we’ll also contact data protection authorities.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy to accommodate new technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements or for other purposes. We will provide prior notice to users by email and post the information on our online channels if these changes are material and request your consent if legally required.
