certain services may lose full functionality.
-
Deletion: You can delete your account by using the
corresponding functionality directly on the service.
-
We want you to be aware of your privacy rights. Here are a
few key points to remember:
-
Reviewing your information: Applicable privacy laws may give
you the right to review the personal information we keep
about you (depending on the jurisdiction, this may be called
right of access, right of portability or variations of those
terms). You can request a copy of your personal information
by sending us an email at ghdfgfdgfdgfgfd@gmail.com.
-
Updating your information: If you believe that the
information we hold about you is inaccurate or that we are
no longer entitled to use it and want to request its
rectification, deletion or object to its processing, please
contact us via ghdfgfdgfdgfgfd@gmail.com.
-
For your protection and the protection of all of our users,
we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can
answer the above requests.
-
Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons,
including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe
on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of
another user. If you wish to receive information relating to
another user, such as a copy of any messages you received
from him or her through our service, the other user will
have to contact our Privacy Officer to provide their written
consent before the information is released.
-
Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to
object to the processing of personal information, notably
where such requests would not allow us to provide our
service to you anymore. For instance, we cannot provide our
service if we do not have your date of birth.
-
Uninstall: You can stop all information collected by an app
by uninstalling it using the standard uninstall process for
your device. If you uninstall the app from your mobile
device, the unique identifier associated with your device
will continue to be stored. If you re-install the
application on the same mobile device, we will be able to
re-associate this identifier to your previous transactions
and activities.
-
Accountability: In certain countries, including in the
European Union, you have a right to lodge a complaint with
the appropriate data protection authority if you have
concerns about how we process your personal information. The
data protection authority you can lodge a complaint with
notably may be that of your habitual residence, where you
work or where we are established.
-
If you want to exercise any of your rights listed above
please visit our feedback form or email us at
ghdfgfdgfdgfgfd@gmail.com.
6. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for
legitimate business purposes and as permitted by applicable law.
To protect the safety and security of our users on and off our
Services, we implement a safety retention window of six months
following account deletion unless there is a technical
difficulty. During this period, some of your account information
will be retained although the account will of course not be
visible on the Services anymore. In practice, we delete or
anonymize your information upon the deletion of your account
(following the safety retention window) or after 5 years of
continuous inactivity. An account is considered inactive when
the Application of the Member has not established contact with
LuvNow’s servers (including due to deactivation of the
geolocation process), and the Member has not used the
Application. In any event, the Account of a Premium Member is
not considered inactive.
Unless:
-
we must keep it to comply with applicable law (for instance,
some “traffic data” is kept for one year to comply with
statutory data retention obligations) as well as to prevent
bot systems that are abusing the system;
-
we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable
law (for instance, records of consents to our Terms, Privacy
Policy, and other similar consents are kept for five years);
-
there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us
to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or
-
the information must be kept for our legitimate business
interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users'
safety and security. For example, information may need to be
kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behavior or
security incidents from opening a new account.
Correspondence with our Customer Support team will be retained
for longer to allow us to deal with any subsequent queries you
may have but will usually be deleted within 6 years if there are
no queries.
Anonymized information about activity on our Services is
retained for longer periods of time for statistical and product
research purposes but this is not attributable to an individual
once the profile has been deleted.
Keep in mind that even though our systems are designed to carry
out data deletion processes according to the above guidelines,
we cannot promise that all data will be deleted within a
specific time frame due to technical constraints.
7. Data Protection and Security
We work hard to protect you from unauthorized access to or
alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal
information. As with all technology companies, although we take
steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you
should not expect, that your personal information will always
remain secure. Your password is an important part of our
security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it.
You should not share your password with any third party, and if
you believe your password or account has been compromised, you
should change it immediately and contact
ghdfgfdgfdgfgfd@gmail.com with any concerns.
We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities
and attacks and regularly review our information collection,
storage, and processing practices to update our physical,
technical and organizational security measures.
We may suspend your use of all or part of the Services without
notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security. If you
believe that your account or information is no longer secure,
please notify us immediately. We are not responsible for virus
protection outside our service network. We are also not
responsible for the damage or destruction of user data. We will
pursue every detected attack by hackers, etc. under civil law
and, if necessary, by the prosecution.
In case of a breach, we will notify; the EU representatives, our
DPO and our users who were or potentially were affected by the
breach within 72 hours of the attack. We will announce it on our
webpage.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are restricted to users who are 18 years of age or
older. We do not permit users under the age of 18 on our
platform and we do not knowingly collect personal information
from anyone under the age of 18. If you suspect that a user is
under the age of 18, please use the reporting mechanism
available through the service. If we become aware that a child,
minor or anyone under the age of 18 has registered with us and
provided us with personal data, we will take steps to terminate
that person’s registration and delete their profile information
from our Services. If we do delete a Profile because you
violated our no children rule, we may retain basic account and
profile information to ensure that you do not try to get around
our rules by creating a new profile.
9. International Transfer Policy
In order to provide the Services to you, we must transfer your
data to our servers and process it there. By visiting or using
our Services, you consent to the storage of your data on
servers. If you are using the Services, you consent to the
transfer, storage, and processing of your data. Specifically,
personal data collected in Switzerland and the European Economic
Area (“EEA”) is transferred and stored outside those areas.
That data is also processed outside of Switzerland and the EEA
by our LuvNow companies, or our service providers, including to
process transactions, facilitate payments and provide support
services as described in Section 4 & 5. We have entered into
data processing agreements with our service providers that
restrict and regulate their processing of your data on our
behalf. By submitting your data or using our Services, you
consent to this transfer, storage, and processing by LuvNow and
its processors. We operate a global network of servers including
in Germany, Netherlands, Turkey, and Canada. We ensure that the
data is adequately protected by ensuring that valid, legal
mechanisms are in place. If you want more information relating
to the nature of the safeguards we have in place please email
ghdfgfdgfdgfgfd@gmail.com.
10. Privacy Policy Changes
we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to help you
build meaningful connections, this policy may change over time.
We will notify you before any material changes take effect so
that you have time to review the changes.
