In nearly all cases we rely on the significantly more sophisticated security of our Third Party Services to protect your personal data, we do not maintain your personal data on our own physical servers or systems.

While we take reasonable precautions against possible security threats, there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. We strongly recommend that you take steps to maximize the security of your information, such as not sharing your login information and logging out of your account after you are done using our Applications.

We store your information in the United States as well as other territories. You consent to such storage and to the transfer of information from one territory to another.

We will take reasonable steps to require any third parties who you authorize us to share your personal information with to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
