prevention, and to comply with law. We process the personal information
for the following purposes listed below. We may also process your
information for other purposes only with your prior explicit consent.
We process your personal information for a variety
of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:
3.
WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We only process your personal information when we
believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e. legal
basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with
laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfil our
contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil our
legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the
EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and
UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we
may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
If you are located in
Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given
us specific permission (i.e. express consent) to use your personal information
for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred
(i.e. implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally
permitted under applicable law to process your information without your

5.
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 LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary
to fulfil 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 anonymise 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.
7.
HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through
a system of organisational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable
technical and organisational 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 unauthorised 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.
8.
WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on your state of residence in the US or in some
regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK),
Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and
control over your personal information. You may review, change, or
terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or
state of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK,
Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data
protection laws. These may include the right (i) to
request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request
rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal
information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject
to automated decision-making. If a decision that produces legal or
similarly significant effects is made solely by automated means, we will inform
you, explain the main factors, and offer a simple way to request human
review. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to
the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section 'HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?' below.
We will consider and act upon any request in
accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe
we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right
to complain to your Member State data protection
authority or UK data protection authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact
the Federal Data Protection and
Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing 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.
Opting out of marketing and promotional
communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and
promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link
in the emails that we send, or by contacting us using the details provided
in the section 'HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?' below. You will then be removed from the
marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you €” for example, to send you service-related
messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to
respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
Account
Information
If you would at any time like to review or change
the information in your account or terminate your account, you can:
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.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies
by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove
cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject
cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your
privacy rights, you may email us at info@spinlink.co.uk.
9.
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 recognising and implementing DNT signals has
been finalised. 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 recognising or honouring DNT signals,
we do not respond to them at this time.
10.

Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota,

circumstances by applicable law. More information is provided below.
