With Your Consent

Other than the purposes listed above, we may, with your implied or express consent, share your personal information outside of our group of companies, in accordance with applicable laws.

How Long We Store Personal Data

The duration for which we hold the information we gather about you varies depending on its nature, as outlined below. Once this period lapses, we will either delete or anonymize your data. If deletion or anonymization isn't feasible, for instance, due to storage in backup archives, we'll securely store your data, keeping it isolated from further use until it can be deleted.

Account information: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active and a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to re-activate the Services. We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations, and to continue to develop and improve our Services. Where we retain information for Service improvement and development, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Services, not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.

Information you share on the Services: In the event of deactivation or disablement of your account, certain information and content you've shared will persist to allow other users or team members to continue using the services fully. For example, sent messages will remain visible to recipients, and provided content will be accessible, but personally identifiable details will be removed upon request.

Managed accounts: If the services are provided to you through an organization, we retain your information as long as dictated by the account administrator.

Marketing information: If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences for a reasonable period from the date you last expressed interest in our Services, such as when you last opened an email from us or ceased using your Macnaught account. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period from the date such information was created.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

In order to protect your security, we use the strongest available browser encryption and store all of our data on servers in secure facilities. All data is only accessible to our employees. Our employees shall bound by strict confidentiality agreements, if required and a breach of this agreement would result in the employee's termination.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

International Data Transfers

We may transfer user personal data to the following countries:

1. USA.

When we transfer user personal data we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Policy and comply with applicable legal requirements for transferring personal data internationally.

Children

We do not knowingly collect or use personal data from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 years of age, the personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 13 years of age has provided us with personal data their parent or guardian may contact our privacy officer.
