The provided text outlines circumstances under which the entity may disclose personal information to third parties. Firstly, in the context of business transfers such as mergers, asset sales, financing, or acquisitions, personal information might be shared or transferred. Secondly, information may be shared with affiliates, including parent companies, subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or entities under common control, all of whom are obligated to follow the same privacy notice.

5. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?

This passage clarifies that the entity is not responsible for the security of information shared with unaffiliated third parties that may be linked to or advertised on their services. Their services may contain links to external websites, online services, or mobile applications, as well as advertisements from non-affiliated third parties. As a result, the entity cannot guarantee the reliability of these third parties and disclaims liability for any losses or damages arising from their use. The presence of such links does not imply endorsement.

Furthermore, the entity states that they cannot ensure the safety and confidentiality of data shared with these third parties, as any information collected by them is outside the scope of their own privacy notice. They are also not accountable for the content or privacy and security practices of these external entities. Therefore, users are advised to review the policies of these third parties and contact them directly with any inquiries.

6. YOUR RIGHTS

For more details, users are directed to the Cookie Notice or the privacy team.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

This passage explains the data retention policy, stating that personal information is kept only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in the privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is legally required for reasons such as taxation or accounting. Importantly, none of the stated purposes necessitate keeping personal information beyond the duration of the user's account. Once there is no legitimate business need to process the data, the entity will either delete or anonymize it. If immediate deletion or anonymization is not possible (e.g., in backup archives), the data will be securely stored and isolated from further processing until deletion is feasible.

This reiterates the commitment to protecting personal data through strong organizational and technical security measures aimed at ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The entity commits to handling these requests in accordance with data protection laws, and users in the EEA, UK, or USA have the right to complain to their local data protection authority if they believe their information is being unlawfully processed.

Furthermore, users have the right to withdraw consent for processing if consent was relied upon, although this doesn't affect prior lawful processing. They can also opt out of marketing communications via unsubscribe links or by contacting the entity, though service-related communications may still occur. Users can review, modify, or terminate their accounts through account settings, and upon a termination request, the account and associated information will be deactivated or deleted, although some data may be retained for legal and administrative purposes. Finally, users can manage cookie preferences in their web browser settings, although this might affect platform functionality.
