We may provide our partners with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have used the App on any given day). [We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1).] We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

Protection Of Your Personal Information

Despite these reasonable precautions, we do not guarantee that information transmitted through the internet is secure, or that such transmissions will be free from delay, interruption, or error. We also do not guarantee that the information will remain secure against theft or misuse.

The data that We collect from you may be transferred to, and stored on, servers at a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These servers may be engaged in the fulfilment of your request, order or reservation, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

WHERE WE STORE PERSONAL DATA

The Personal Data we obtain from you and your Users (including, without limitation, Client Data) may be moved to and stored at a destination within the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that Personal Data we obtain from you and your Users (including, without limitation, Client Data) may be processed by our service providers based in, countries outside of the EEA for the purposes of providing you with the Service. Such countries may not have laws offering the same level of protection for Personal Data as those inside the EEA; however where such transfers of data occur, we will take steps to prevent the transfer of Personal Data without adequate safeguards being put in place and will ensure that your and your Users’ Personal Data collected in the EEA and transferred internationally is afforded the same level of protection as it would be inside the EEA.

This includes the responsibility to refrain from sharing your/their password with other parties.

As the transmission of data via the Internet cannot be assumed completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of any of your or your Users’ data transmitted to our Website or Service; you are therefore responsible for any risk associated with such transmission. We will however at all times take all reasonable steps to ensure the transmission of your and your Users’ data is executed as securely as possible, and upon receipt of your/their data we will continue at all times to enforce strict security procedures and features in an attempt to prevent any unauthorised access.
