  2. Cookies
    1. The term “Cookie” means a text-only string of information that a Website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on User's computer's hard disk so that the Website can recognize the User upon revisits and remember certain information about the User. This can include which pages the User visited, choices made, any specific information the User has entered into forms and the time and date of the User's visit. Cookies include Session cookies and persistent cookies.
      1. Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session. Session cookies allow the Website to recognise the User as the User navigates between pages during a single browser session and allows the User to use the Website most efficiently.
      2. In contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on the User's equipment between browsing sessions until expiry or deletion. They therefore enable the Website to “recognise” the User upon return, remember the User's preferences, and tailor the Services for the User.
    2. Session Cookies help us to maintain security and to verify User's details whilst Users use the Website and navigate from page to page, which enables User to avoid having to re-enter his or her details each time entering a new page.
    3. Persistent Cookies help us recognize User as a unique user when User returns to the Website so that the User does not have to insert his or her details multiple times as moving between pages. It also remembers how User has customized its use of the Website, such as your preferred currency and time zone, and helps to collect and compile anonymous, aggregated information for statistical and evaluation purposes to help the Service Provider to understand how Users use the Website and help the Service Provider to improve the structure and usability of the Website.
    4. Some of the Cookies may collect and store User's Personal Data, such as User's name or email address. The Service Provider is committed to respecting and protecting privacy and will ensure that all User's Personal Data collected is kept and treated in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
    5. User can set his or her browser settings to be notified when receiving a cookie, so that the User will have an opportunity to either accept or reject Cookies in each instance. However, Users should note that refusing Cookies may have a negative impact on the functionality and usability of the Services or the Website. Therefore, as the Cookies allow you to access some of the Website's features it is recommended that Users leave Cookies enabled.
    6. The Service Provider will act in line with the Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications). However, with respect to the Cookies exempt from the requirements set within the Directive, the Service Provider is not obliged to ask User consent for certain Cookies. Please visit https://ec.europa.eu/ for more information.
  3. Data retention
    1. All Data and Personal Data, that is entered into the Website or User Account by the User, or automatically imported on the User's instructions, is transferred to servers used by the Service Provider as a function of transmission across the Internet. By using the Services, You consent to Data and Personal Data being transferred to the servers as set out in this Privacy Policy.
    2. Currently the servers used by the Service Provider are located in Germany, operated and maintained by another service provider (Amazon Web Services, Inc.), and Data and Personal Data will be routed through, and stored on, those servers as part of the Services. Amazon Web Services, Inc. complies with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and has certified that it adheres to relevant Safe Harbor Privacy Principles (i.e. Directive on privacy and electronic communications). If the location of the servers changes in the future, the Service Provider will update this Privacy Policy.

While Data and Personal Data will be stored on servers located in the EU (Frankfurt), it will remain within the effective control of the Service Provider at all times. The server host's role is limited to providing a hosting and storage service to the Service Provider and the Service Provider has taken steps to ensure that the server hosts do not have access to, and use the necessary level of protection for, Data and Personal Data.
    4. The Service Provider only keeps Data and Personal Data for as long as required for the purposes of providing the User with the Services. However, the Service Provider may also be required to keep Data or Personal Data for specified periods of time, for example under certain laws relating to corporations, money laundering, and financial reporting legislation.
    5. The Service Provider may retain Data and Personal Data and Confidential Information in servers as long as it deems necessary for the purposes of back-up, recovery and archiving of such information.
    6. The Service Provider undertakes to make daily back-up copies of the Data and Personal Data to avoid any unexpected loss of such data in case of any technical failure in one of the Databases or servers used.
    7. The User can remove Data or Personal Data related to him at any time from the Website. When the User requests the Service Provider to delete the User Account, the User's Data and Personal Data may be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to User's Account will not be possible any longer. The Service Provider will also promptly disconnect any connection it had established to the particular User Account and delete all account credentials. However, portions of the User's Data and Personal Data, consisting of aggregate data derived from the User's Account, may remain on the servers indefinitely. Your Personal Data may also remain on a backup server or media. The Service Provider keeps these backups to ensure the continued ability to provide the Services to You in the event of malfunction or damage to our primary production servers.
  4. Security of Personal Data / User Content

    The Service Provider has put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure Data and Personal Data and any Confidential Information. This is achieved via the application of a variety of measures to protect such information from illegitimate access, use or disclosure.

    1. We encrypt some of the data transmission using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This technology sends User's information through an encrypted tunnel via 256-bit encryption while it becomes unreadable for third parties during being in transit. For security purposes, the Service Provider is not obliged to reveal any of the mechanics related to the functioning of the SSL implemented.
    2. The Service Provider applies firewall techniques to protect User's Data and Personal Data. For security purposes, the Service Provider is not obliged to reveal any of the mechanics related to the functioning of firewalls applied.
    3. The Service Provider reviews the information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures regularly to guard against unauthorized access to systems.
    4. The Service Provider has restricted access to User's Data and Personal Data to its employees (or of its Affiliates), contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it for the Service Provider, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.

    You acknowledge that despite the Service Provider's efforts to keep Data, Personal Data and Confidential Information secure, there is no guarantee for 100% system safety.

    The Service Provider will advise Users at the first reasonable opportunity upon discovering or being advised of a security breach where User's Data or Personal Data is lost, stolen, accessed, used, disclosed, copied, modified, or disposed of by any unauthorized persons or in any unauthorized manner.
