2. How we use your Personal Information

3. For how long we retain your Personal Information

  • 3.1.

    We will retain your information for as long as your account is active, your information is needed to provide you Services.



4. How we protect your information

  • 4.1.

    We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your Personal Information, username, password, information about your collections and data stored on our Technology Platform.

  • 4.2.

    Sensitive and private data exchange between the Technology Platform and its users happens over an SSL-secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures. Our Technology Platform is functioning in compliance with UNIX stack vulnerability standards in order to create an environment as secure as possible for users.

  • 4.3.

    For higher security the Technology Platform supports Two-factor authentication (2FA). The two-step verification or dual factor authentication is a security process in which the user provides two different authentication factors to verify themselves to better protect both the user's credentials and the resources the user can access. Two-factor authentication provides a higher level of assurance than authentication methods that depend on single-factor authentication (SFA), in which the user provides only one factor -- typically a password or passcode. Two-factor authentication methods rely on users providing a password as well as a second factor, usually either a security token or a biometric factor like a fingerprint or facial scan.

  • 4.4.

    Unfortunately, there is no such thing as completely secure data transmission or storage, so we cannot guarantee that our security will not be breached (by technical measures or through violation of our policies and procedures).

  • 4.5.

    Without prejudice to our efforts on protection of your information nothing herein constitutes a warranty of security of the Technology Platform, and you agree to transmit information at your own risk. Please note, that the Technology Platform does not guarantee that your information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
