OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR HANDLING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The laws in some jurisdictions require companies to tell you about the legal ground they rely on to use or disclose your personal data. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:

To honor our contractual commitments to you: Much of our processing of personal data is to meet our contractual obligations to our users, or to take steps at users’ request in anticipation of entering into a contract with them. For example, we handle personal data on this basis to create your account and provide our services.

Providing a safe and enjoyable user experience;
Customer service;
Marketing, e.g. sending emails or other communications to let you know about new features;
Protecting our users, personnel, and property;
Analyzing and improving our business, e.g. collecting information about how you use our Services to optimize the design and placement of certain features;
Processing job applications; and
Managing legal issues.
Legal compliance: We need to use and disclose personal data in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.

EU Data Protection Rights.
We collect and process personal information about you with your consent and/or as necessary to provide the products or services you use, operate our business, meet our contractual and legal obligations, protect the security of our systems and our customers, or fulfil other legitimate interests.
