Such use is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us.

Where required by applicable law (for example, if you are an EU data subject), we will only send you marketing information by email, or contact you by phone, if you consent to us doing so at the time you provide us with your personal data.

We do not disclose or sell your information to third parties or other websites without your consent, except to those necessary to deliver services for us and except as required by law. These third parties and their functions are listed below.
We will disclose your personal data to our employees as necessary to deliver the Service, and we may use certain third party companies and individuals to help us provide, support, analyse, and improve the Service (such as providers of data storage services, maintenance services, payment processing, database management, digital business services, providers of analytics services who help us understand how you use and interact with the Service, providers of digital advertising services, providers of CRM, marketing, and sales software solutions). These third parties may have access to your personal data for the purpose of performing these tasks on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions.
Where we make use of third party service providers to help us provide the Service to you, including for the purposes of retrieving or delivering information, records, notifications or other messages to you or any users or for hosting or providing any component of our Service, we require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of any personal data we provide to them for these purposes. Third-party service providers are contractually bound to protect and use such information only for the purposes for which it was disclosed, except as otherwise required or permitted by law. We ensure that such third parties will be bound by terms complying with applicable law.
Such third parties may be situated outside of your country and you consent to your personal data and that of any data subjects you provide to us being transferred cross-border so that we can provide the Service to you. In this regard, we engage only with reputed third-party service providers who have security and privacy policies and procedures providing at least the same level of protection as we do ourselves. You warrant that you have all necessary permissions to give us the above consent.
We may also share non-personal or non-identifiable information, including website visitor information and account usage data with third-party analytics service providers. Your personal data may be shared if it is made anonymous and aggregated, as in such circumstances the information will cease to be personal data.
We may disclose to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory body, government agency, court or other third party the data stored in your User Account and information about you that we collect when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with a law, regulation, or compulsory legal request; (b) protect the safety of any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of dind.io or its Users; (d) to protect dind.io’s legal rights; (e) to report suspected illegal activity; or (v) to investigate violations of this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, consolidation, liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you of any change in control or use of your personal data or Content, or if either become subject to a different Privacy Policy. We will notify you either by sending you an email or posting a notice on our Website. We will also notify you of choices you may have regarding the information.
If you are a registered User, you may review, update or correct the personal data in your User Account. If you would like to delete your User Account, please contact us as indicated below. If your personal data has been shared outside of our Service by other Users or any third parties and not directly by us, we cannot change or delete this personal data out of our control.
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or for our Service, for as long as your User Account is active, or as needed to provide you the Service or for the duration required by law, whichever is the longer. If you wish to delete your User Account please contact us at [email protected] and raise a formal request. Please note that we may retain, use or disclose your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements, and legitimate business interest (such as for analytics purposes, safety, and security).
The security of your information is important to us. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
Taking into account relevant developments in technology including telecommunications and web services, technical limitations associated with different telecommunications protocols, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we shall in relation to the personal data implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk.
We use a variety of security measures to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data, and to protect your personal data from loss, theft, unauthorized access, misuse, alteration or destruction. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Please always check that any website on which you are asked for financial or payment information in relation to our reservations or Service is operated by us or by third-party service providers authorised by us. If you do receive a suspicious request, do not provide your information and report it as set out in this Privacy Policy.
However, we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your data will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own personal data. You are responsible for keeping your User Account passcode, membership numbers and pin numbers safe and secure. Do not share those with anyone. If there is unauthorised use or any other breach of security involving your information, you must notify us as soon as possible.
Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of information you transmit to us or receive from us by internet or wireless connection, including email since we have no way of protecting that information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.
Our Website may contain certain links to third-party websites (“Third-party Links”) that are not run by us. These include, but are not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube and others. We are not responsible for personal data about you that is collected and stored by these platforms and similar third parties. They have their own privacy policies so please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. For that reason we recommend you to read their privacy policies carefully before submitting personal data to them.
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email if you have provided your email address to us and your email address is current), and we may provide notice of changes in other circumstances as well. It is therefore important that you register with us and notify us if you change your email address. If you do not provide us with a current email address, you should regularly review this policy to ensure that you are informed of any changes.
