Safeguarding Your Personal Data

• To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have or will implement appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards.

• You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data. You use the Platform and our Services at your own risk. If a data breach occurs, we will take steps to investigate and notify affected users, in line with applicable data protection and privacy laws.

We may (but are under no obligation to) anonymise personal data contained in Contributed Data at our sole and absolute discretion.
