3. What Legal Bases Do We Rely on to Process Your Information?
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:
• Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
• Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
o Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services
o Analyze how our services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users
o Support our marketing activities
o Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities
o Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience
​
• Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
• Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
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 consent, including, for example:
-
If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
-
For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
-
For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
-
If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
-
For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
-
If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
-
If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
-
If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
-
If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
-
If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
-
If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations
4. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?
Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.
We do not sell or share your personal information with third-party organizations, except in the
following circumstances:
-
To comply with legal requirements, such as a court order or subpoena.
-
To protect the safety and security of our website, our services, or our clients.
-
To improve our services, such as by using data analysis or market research.
5. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
Our website may use cookies and other technologies to improve your user experience. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device to remember your preferences or to analyze website usage. You can adjust your browser settings to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is
being used.
​
6. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
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 six (6) months past the termination of the user's account. 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.
​
7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe? 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.
​
8. Do We Collect Information from Minors?
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that
personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us
at cyls.kids@mycylskids.com.

our systems (e.g., backups, etc.).
