We refer all personal information we collect about you as "Personal Data". Personal Data refers to the data that may be used for determining your identity.
To the extent permitted by the applicable laws, we may combine the Personal Data we collect about you with our Services, website or other channels with the information you provided us via other ways, and retain all such information in a combined database or separate databases.
The Company shall not retain your Personal Data for longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was intended or initially collected. Unless and to the extent we are required to retain your Personal Data for justified legal reasons (e.g. for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims), we will delete or anonymise your Personal Data once you inform us that you will no longer be using our Services. If a deletion of your Personal Data would only be possible with unreasonable efforts, we will anonymise them instead of a deletion. We will not collect Personal Data about you that is not necessary to the purposes it was collected for.
We will only send you any advertisement, marketing or promotional material or product information, if you have elected to receive such information by email and/or post. Depending on the jurisdiction you reside in and in accordance with applicable laws in your country, we will ask you to expressly consent to such use before we send you any marketing or promotional material or before we send you any product information.
You can change your mind about your preferences in respect of direct marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe button on every such mailing, by updating your user profile or account data or by contacting us at [support at potworka dot com]. If you do so, we would not remove your Personal Data from our databases to the extent that this Personal Data is still required by us under the terms of this Privacy Policy or otherwise to continue to provide our Services to you.
We protect the security of your Personal Data by using encryption and password protection where appropriate, and limiting access to your Personal Data.
Whilst we have done all of this, these measures do not release you from taking appropriate steps to keep your password and other user identification safe and secure, in particular by avoiding obvious user ID's or passwords, by changing your password regularly and by ensuring that you do not disclose your password(s) or grant any other person access to your user account.
