We collect this information on the basis of consent, legitimate interest, or legal obligation.

We use this information to provide and improve the Service.

We collect Log Data that includes your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, pages of our Service that you visit, time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

We use Log Data to improve our Service, analyse trends, and monitor the Service’s usage. We retain Log Data for a period no longer than is necessary. We may share Log Data with third-party service providers who assist us in analysing how our Service is used.

4.  Service Providers

We may engage third-party service providers to technically support our Service, including hosting, maintenance, backups, data analysis, and customer support. These service providers may have access to your Personal Information only for the purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

5.  Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We implement appropriate physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We retain your Personal Information for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and we dispose of it securely by deleting it from our systems.

7.  International Data Transfers

We may transfer Personal Information outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to service providers who assist us in the operation of our Service. Where this is the case, we ensure that such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards to protect data subjects’ rights and enable effective legal remedies.

8.  Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18 (“children”). We do not knowingly collect or process Personal Information from children under 18, unless for the purposes of providing hosting to families.
