• For the purposes of user support, fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, product development and de-bugging, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Plozee, its users, or members of the public, including in response to an emergency if we believe it is necessary for a person’s security.
• If we are required to do so by law or to comply with legal process, enforce or administer our agreements with users (such as Plozee’s User Agreement).
• If we believe your actions are inconsistent with our User Agreement or to protect the rights, property and safety of ourselves and others.
• Between and among Plozee and its current and future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership.
• With your consent or at your direction.
• In an aggregated and / or anonymised way, collected through your access and use of Plozee, so that the information does not identify you.

By accessing or using Plozee you consent to the transfer of your information to the United Kingdom and / or to other countries for storage, processing and use by Plozee in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation and our Privacy Policy.

Sharing Information with Other Media

We may offer social sharing features or other related tools that let you and others share your content or actions you take on Plozee with other media. Your use of these features enables you to share certain information with your friends and / or the public, depending on the settings you’ve selected with the third party (eg. Facebook, Twitter).

For information about data collection and processing in relation to social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the third parties that provide these social sharing features (eg. Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp etc.). In accordance with our User Agreement, you agree that you and others have the option to share and disseminate your User Content to other media.

Advertising and Analytics Partners

We may partner with third-party analytics providers, advertisers and ad networks to deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests and to better understand your use of Plozee. These third parties may collect information sent by your computer, browser, or mobile device such as unique identifiers, your IP address, or other information about your computer or device.

Our ad partners and networks may use cookies and related technologies to collect information when ads are delivered to you on Plozee. Please note that we do not provide your Plozee account details to these advertising partners.

We may use analytics partners (such as Google Analytics) to help analyze usage and traffic for Plozee. For example, we may use analytics partners to analyze, in aggregate, the number of unique visitors to Plozee.

Security

In adherence with the EU General Data Protection Regulation’s ‘security principle’, we take reasonable measures (organisational and technical safeguards) to protect information about you. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to Plozee or guarantee that your information on Plozee may not be accessed, lost, stolen, misused, altered, disclosed or destroyed by breach of any of our safeguards.

Children

Plozee is not intended or directed at individuals under the age of 13 (or under the age of 14 for anyone living in Spain or South Korea), and thus they should not create an account or otherwise access or use Plozee.

Account Information and Your Choices

We may provide you with tools that allow you to control information that is associated with your Plozee account. For example:

We may also retain certain information about you as required by law or for legitimate business purposes after you delete your account. Legitimate business purposes may be the practice of detail suppression. For example, following a request from a user to be removed from a marketing communications list, we may retain just enough information about them to ensure that their preferences are respected in the future. Detail suppression allows us to ensure we do not send marketing communications to people who have asked us not to, and also means we have a record against which we can check any new marketing lists.

Links to Other Websites

We are not responsible or liable for the practices employed by websites or resources linked to or from Plozee, nor the information or content contained within them. Please remember that when you use a link to go from Plozee to another website or resource, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website or resource, including those that have a link on Plozee, are subject to that website or resource’s own rules and policies.
