We process your personal information for a variety of reasons,
depending on how you interact with our Services, including:
• To save or protect an individual's vital interest. We may process
your information when necessary to save or protect an individual’s vital
interest, such as to prevent harm.
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 fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your
rights, or to fulfill 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:
-
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. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
-
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
-
We may disclose de-identified information for approved research or statistics projects, subject to ethics oversight and confidentiality commitments
4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this
section and/or with the following third parties.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill 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).
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.
6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of
organizational and technical security measures.
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.
7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under
18 years of age or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18
years of age or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction, nor
do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you
represent that you are at least 18 or the equivalent age as specified by law in
your jurisdiction 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 or the equivalent
age as specified by law in your jurisdiction 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 or the equivalent age as specified by
law in your jurisdiction, please contact us at messageofdragons@gmail.com.
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

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

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.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email
us at messageofdragons@gmail,com.
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 recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been
finalized. 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
recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
