In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

It is important you understand that we cannot be held responsible for personal information you choose to disclose on the site and to other members which we have not specifically required for you to complete your profile. We collect data such as IP address, date you joined, date and time you last logged in and accessed the service and device types and other information such as web browser and PC or mobile platform.

4. Billing and payments
We use third party payment processors to assist us in processing your payment information securely. Such third party processors' use of your Personal Information is governed by their respective privacy policies which may or may not contain privacy protections as protective as this Policy. We suggest that you review their respective privacy policies.

5. Managing information
You are able to delete certain Personal Information we have about you. The Personal Information you can delete may change as the Website and Services change. When you delete Personal Information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised Personal Information in our records for the duration necessary to comply with our obligations to our affiliates and partners, and for the purposes described below.

6. Disclosure of information
Depending on the requested Services or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have requested, we may share your information with your consent with our trusted third parties that work with us, any other affiliates and subsidiaries we rely upon to assist in the operation of the Website and Services available to you. We do not share Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties. These service providers are not authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We may share your Personal Information for these purposes only with third parties whose privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies with respect to Personal Information. These third parties are given Personal Information they need only in order to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose Personal Information for their own marketing or other purposes.

We will disclose any Personal Information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally.

15. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time. The Website and Services do not track its visitors over time and across third party websites. However, some third party sites may keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

However, you will continue to receive essential transactional emails.

We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every resource that may collect Personal Information.

18. Privacy Features
It is our intention to give you the best possible exposure and increase interactivity amongst members and potential members. Therefore, when you create a profile or upload content, the default privacy settings are set to be viewed by "everyone". We however appreciate that some users may require some privacy. Therefore we offer privacy options on our Site in the "My Settings" area.

Below is a list of current privacy options on offer. Each offers a different level of privacy.

(a) Everyone - Viewable by visitors to the site, bots and crawlers such as Google, Yahoo etc.

We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal Information in its control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed. Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that

(a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control;

(b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and the Website and Services cannot be guaranteed; and

When we do, we will post a notice on the Website, send you an email.

21. Requesting the data held by us
We ask very little Personally Identifiable Information (pii) therefore any information requested by us would be very limited to:

(a) email address you created your account with which may have been superseded by a new one if you changed it.
(b) date of birth which is used to display your age (not date of birth) on your public profile.
(c) IP address you joined with or logged in with.
(d) Current images relating to your account.

All the pii can easily be accessed via your own profile editor and account settings. There are some information we certainly would be unable to release to you including information that would likely reveal personal information about other users. These notably include but are not limited to messages you received on our service and site, which are not provided out of concern for the privacy of the senders.

It is important to also mention that to protect your data, we would be obliged to ask you for a copy of a government issued ID document such as a passport or driving license to establish proof that you are who you say you are. We would also ask you to blank out certain sensitive parts of the document so it is not visible to us.

In some cases, we may require further verification of your identity, for example, if the materials you provide us do not establish your identity as being linked to the account in question.
