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. - 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 - 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

other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information until
you unsubscribe my news.
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.

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 18 years of age has been collected, we

9- 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 notice.
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.
