4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND
OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking
technologies to collect and store your information.
We
may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels)
to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking
technologies help us maintain the security of our Services and your account,
prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site
functions.
We
also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help
manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your interests,
or to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your communication
preferences). The third parties and service providers use their technology to
provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests
which may appear either on our Services or on other
websites.
To
the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising, as defined
under the applicable laws) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out of
these online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described below
under section "DO UNITED STATES
RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY
RIGHTS?"
Specific
information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain
cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR
SOCIAL
LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services
using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about
you.
Our
Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party
social media account details (like your Facebook or X logins). Where you choose
to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your
social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on
the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email
address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you
choose to make public on such a social media platform.
We
will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in
this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant
Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for,
other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media
provider. We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how
they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set
your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP
YOUR
INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to
fulfill
the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by
law.
We
will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the
purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal
requirements). No
purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for
longer than the period of time in which users have an account
with us.
When
we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for
example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives),
then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any
further processing until deletion is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR
INFORMATION
SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a
system of organizational and technical security measures.
We
have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational
security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information
we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your
information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information
storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or
guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our
security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission
of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
In Short: You may
review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your
country, province, or state of residence.

your consent: If we are relying on your consent to
process your personal information,
which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable
law,
you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your
consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in
the section "HOW
CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS
NOTICE?"
below.
However,
please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before
its withdrawal nor,
when applicable law allows,
will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in
reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.Account
Information
If you would at any time like to review
or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you
can:
- Log in to your account settings and update your
user account.
Upon
your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your
account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some
information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with
any investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with applicable legal
requirements.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you
may email us at hello@gathru.net.
10. CONTROLS FOR
DO-NOT-TRACK
FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include
a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your
privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities
monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing
and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT
browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your
choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted
that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a
revised version of this Privacy
Notice.
California
law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals.
Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing
or honoring
DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this
time.
