We retain Personal Information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE EEA: You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority for your country or region where you have your habitual residence or place of work, or where an alleged infringement of applicable data protection law occurs. The data protection authority of the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), and a list of the EEA data protection authorities is available at ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm.

Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and by using the App you understand that your information will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including Japan, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Information.


  • For transfers from within the UK, Switzerland and/or EEA to outside the UK, Switzerland and/or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
  • Some countries outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) are recognized by the UK government, Swiss government, and the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these “specified countries” is available at ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en). The UK recognizes the EEA member states, the specified countries and certain other countries as providing an adequate level of data protection according to UK standards (the full list is available at ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/international-transfers/international-transfers-a-guide/#Q1). Switzerland recognizes EEA member states and the countries available at www.bj.admin.ch/dam/bj/de/data/staat/gesetzgebung/datenschutzstaerkung/vdsg/vorentw.pdf.download.pdf/vorentw-d.pdf.
  • For transfers from the EEA, Switzerland, and/or the UK to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, Switzerland, or the UK government (as applicable), we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the relevant authority, to protect your Personal Information. You may obtain a copy of these measures by contacting us in accordance with Section 14 below (“How Can You Contact Us?”).
  • For transfers from Japan to countries not considered adequate by the Japanese government, we have also put in place adequate measures, such as data transfer agreements containing provisions required under Japanese law, to protect your Personal Information.

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service to which the App link. The inclusion of a link on the App does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us.

In addition, we are not responsible for the information collection, use, disclosure, or security policies or practices of other organizations, such as, Google, Apple, or any other app developer, app provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer, including with respect to any Personal Information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with the App.

The App is not directed to individuals under the age of majority, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under the age of majority. For example, in many countries, such as the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, the age of majority is 18, and in the UAE the age of majority is 21. If you are unsure what the age of majority is for your jurisdiction, please contact us in accordance with Section 14 below.

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it periodically. We will update the effective date of the Privacy Policy at the time a change is made. The "Last Updated" legend at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the App.
