The Site and the Service are not directed or intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. The Site does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to sign up for the Services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age 18 without the prior consent and expressed authorization of the child’s parent or guardian.

Safeguarding and Securing the Data

We are committed to securing your data and keeping it confidential. We have done all in our power to prevent data theft, unauthorized access, and disclosure by implementing the latest technologies and software, which help us safeguard all the information we collect online. We will make readily available to users information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information. We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained. If you post services related to your business, we will ask you for information about service and your business information. This includes information about your service, and details about your business.

Your account is protected by your account password and we urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use. We further protect your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption, firewalls and secure socket layer technology. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our system at all times. The measures of security that we have in place do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.

Identity Verification: We may use identity verification services provided by a third-party provider to verify your identity documents, confirm your identity and protect against fraud and abuse. When you create an account, you may be asked to submit valid identification proofs, along with a self-image. Our third-party provider may use a combination of machine learning tools and optical scans to authenticate your identity documents, and may use facial recognition technology to produce a unique biometric identifier based on facial geometry that can be used to compare your self-image to the identity document you provided to determine the likelihood that the images are a “match”. We do not receive the biometric identifier generated from the images. It is generated and held by our third-party provider until we are informed that the biometric identifier is no longer needed for the purposes described in this paragraph, which will occur no later than 3 years after your last interaction with us. For identity verification and security purposes, we will have access to the self-image and will receive the information extracted from the identity scan of the ID document as well as the results of the identity verification process. We may use this process and associated information to verify your identity, authenticate your identity documents, and protect against fraud and misrepresentation. We do not use, disclose or retain your biometric information for any other commercial purpose. Our third-party provider processes this information on our behalf strictly in accordance with our contractual agreements.

Your Rights Regarding the Use of Your Personal Information

You have the right at any time to prevent us from contacting you for marketing purposes. When we send a promotional communication to a user, the user can opt out of further promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each promotional email.

Please note that notwithstanding the promotional preferences you indicate by either unsubscribing or opting out of the Site, we may continue to send you administrative emails including, for example, periodic updates to our Policies.
