We also create personal data about you in certain circumstances, such as records of your interactions with us, and details of the usage information of your Machine. We may collect and process the following data:
The purposes for which we process personal data, subject to applicable law, and the legal bases on which we perform such processing, are as follows:
If you use the App from North or South America, your data will be processed on servers located in the United States; if you use the App from the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Africa, your data will be processed on servers located in Germany; if you use the App from other countries or regions, your data will be processed on servers located in Singapore. Additionally, to support our global operations, we may also back up some of your data at our data center located in Singapore.
We will only retain your personal data for the time necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Notice.
We will process and store your data during the period that we maintain an ongoing relationship with you. Most of your personal data will be associated with your App account. When you deactivate your App account, the personal data associated with your account and related Services will be deleted or anonymized, unless local applicable laws require our continued processing of such data.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, and other unlawful or unauthorized forms of processing, in accordance with applicable law. When using an App account, it is important that you select a strong password and do not share it with others. If you have any concerns that your App account or personal data has been put at risk, for example if someone could have found out your password, please contact us by using the contact details provided in Section 9 below. Please note, the Internet is an open system, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement all reasonable measures to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us using the internet – any such transmission is at your own risk, and you are responsible for ensuring that any personal data that you send to us are sent securely.
Third-party service providers who provide us with IT services (including IT-related cloud services), business support, and customer services may need to process your data. These third parties will process your personal data on our behalf under relevant contracts. We may disclose personal data with our affiliates for legitimate business purposes and the operation of the App, in accordance with applicable law. In addition, we may only disclose your data under the following circumstances:
When transmitting or disclosing your data, we will adhere to relevant legal obligations to ensure adequate protection for the transfer of such data by providing the same level of protection equivalent to that required in your jurisdiction.
Since we maintain servers located in the United States, Singapore, and Germany, your personal data may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live. For example, personal data of Australian users may be stored in Singapore, that of Canadian users may be stored in the United States, and that of users in the United Kingdom may be stored in Germany. Because of the international nature of our business, your personal data may also be accessed by our affiliates or be transferred to third-party customer service providers and third-party SDK providers, in connection with the purposes set out in this Notice. For this reason, we transfer personal data to other jurisdictions that may have different laws and data protection compliance requirements to those that apply in the jurisdiction in which you are located. Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your personal data is processed, we apply the same protections described in this Notice.
In the event of an international transfer of personal data, when required by applicable law, we will provide an adequate level of protection for your personal data using various means, including where appropriate, relying on a formal decision that a certain country ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data, or implementing the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses and UK International Data Transfer Agreement between our affiliates and third parties (where applicable) or any other lawful approach that permits the lawful transfer of personal data from those countries.
