Information we collect about you

We collect and process the following personal data from you:

 

Information you give us

  • Signing Up – When you create an account, we will ask for your email address. We may also ask for your name, surname, and country. We may also capture your IP address.
  • Subscribing to a Premium Subscription – When subscribing to a premium subscription, we need to know additional information, including name, surname, email address, and location. We also require payment information when purchasing a paid subscription. We do not store any financial details beyond the PayPal account email address. All transactions and communications with third-party payment portals are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
  • Other Services – We may ask you for additional information when providing special, personalised services, such as text message notifications. Participation in these services is purely voluntary, and therefore such information does not have to be provided if you don’t want to. However, this also means that you will not be able to take advantage of such services if you choose not to share the additional requested information.

For example, where you have provided us with your email address, we will use this information to deliver and communicate the desired content you requested effectively.

How long do we retain your information

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil any legal obligations and contractual obligations to you.
