which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports
(sometimes called "crash dumps"), and hardware settings).
● Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device's location,
which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on
the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we
may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your
current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this
information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location
setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use
certain aspects of the Services.

3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR
INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we
have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent,
to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual
obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid
legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on
the following legal bases to process your personal information:
● Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e.,
consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your
consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
● Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we
believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our
Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
● Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is
reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do
not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may
process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
● Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and
services
● Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users
● Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain
users
● Support our marketing activities
● Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities
● Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user
experience
● Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary
for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement
body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your
information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
● Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to
protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations
involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express
consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your
permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your
information without your consent, including, for example:
● If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in
a timely way
● For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
● For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
● If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess,
process, or settle an insurance claim
● For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
● If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of
financial abuse
● If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the
availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for
purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the
laws of Canada or a province
● If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the
court relating to the production of records
● If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or
profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information
was produced
● If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
● If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations
4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with
the following categories of third parties.
Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data
with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform
services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have
contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal
information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we
have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any
organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to
retain it for the period we instruct.
The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:
● Website Hosting Service Providers
● Social Networks
● Sales & Marketing Tools
● Payment Processors
● Data Analytics Services
We also may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
● Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or
during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of
all or a portion of our business to another company.
● Other Users. When you share personal information (for example, by posting comments,
contributions, or other content to the Services) or otherwise interact with public areas of
the Services, such personal information may be viewed by all users and may be publicly
made available outside the Services in perpetuity. If you interact with other users of our
Services and register for our Services through a social network (such as Facebook),
your contacts on the social network will see your name, profile photo, and descriptions of
your activity. Similarly, other users will be able to view descriptions of your activity,
communicate with you within our Services, and view your profile.
5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your
information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather
information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us
maintain the security of our Services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your
preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our
Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to
tailor advertisements to your interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders
(depending on your communication preferences). The third parties and service providers use
their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests
which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which
includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under applicable US state
laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described
below under section "DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?"
Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain
cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy [PUT THE LINK TO YOUR COOKIE POLICY HERE
AFTER YOU UPLOAD THESE TO YOUR SITE].
6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we
may have access to certain information about you.
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media
account details (like your Facebook or X logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive
certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we
receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your
name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to
make public on such a social media platform.
We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy
Policy or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do
not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your
third-party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to
understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set
your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?
In Short: We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your
own.
Our servers are located in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Dubai. If you are accessing our
Services from outside the United Kingdom, Ireland and Dubai, please be aware that your
information may be transferred to, stored by, and processed by us in our facilities and in the
facilities of the third parties with whom we may share your personal information (see "WHEN
AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?" above), in the United
Kingdom, Ireland, Dubai, and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or
Switzerland, then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar
laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures
to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses:
We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the
European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information
between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses
require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the
EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Data
Processing Agreements that include Standard Contractual Clauses are available here: _[PUT
THE LINK TO YOUR DPA HERE AFTER YOU UPLOAD THESE ON YOUR SITE]_. We have
implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners
and further details can be provided upon request.
8. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in
this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set
out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such
as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us
keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an
account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we
will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because
your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your
personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
9. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and
technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security
measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However,
despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over
the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we
cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties
will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your
information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of
personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the
Services within a secure environment.
10. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 17 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 17 years of age, nor
do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you
are at least 17 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor
dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 17
years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures
to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have
collected from children under age 17, please contact us at platformyou@theplatformyou.com.
11. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on your state of residence in the UAE, US, or in some regions, such as the
European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have
rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may
review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or
state of residence.
In some regions (like the UAE, EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights
under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and
obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict
the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to
be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right
to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT
US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal
information, you also have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority
or UK data protection authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information
Commissioner.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal
information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you
have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time
by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU
CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below or updating your preferences.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its
withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal
information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from our
marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in
the emails that we send, or by contacting us using the details provided in the section "HOW
CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below. You will then be removed from the
marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to send you
service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to
respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
Account Information
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate
your account, you can:
● Log in to your account settings and update your user account.
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and
information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to
prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms
and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If
you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies.
If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services
of our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at
platformyou@theplatformyou.com.
12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a
Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to
have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no
uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that
automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online
tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals.
Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT
signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
13. DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
In Short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have the right to request access to and receive
details about the personal information we maintain about you and how we have processed it,
