We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the

contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP

address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language

preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how

the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages

mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.

Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your

device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much

to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies

to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP

address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by

refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your

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

fulfil our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil 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.

Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when

we believe it is necessary to fulfil 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:

Send users information about special offers and discounts on our

products and services

Analyse how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage

and retain users

Support our marketing activities

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?

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:

Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection

with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing,

or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING

TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store

your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels)

to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking

technologies help us maintain the security of our Services and your account, prevent

crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.

We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies

on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display

advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your interests, or to send abandoned

shopping cart reminders (depending on your communication preferences). The third

parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about

products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our

Services or on other websites.

To the extent these online tracking technologies are deemed to be a 'sale'/'sharing'

(which includes targeted advertising, as defined under the applicable laws) under

applicable US state laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by

submitting a request as described below under section 'DO UNITED STATES

RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?'

Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse

certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil 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). No purpose

in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the

period of time in which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal

information, we will either delete or anonymise 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?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of

organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational

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 unauthorised 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?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years

of age.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of

age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you

represent that you are at least 18 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 BlackBearKiss@hotmail.com.

9. 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 personal information; (iv)

if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-

making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to 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 'HOW CAN YOU CONTACT

US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?' below.

We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data

protection laws.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully 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.

from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the

unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, Email us and request to have details

removed from any lists., or by contacting us using the details provided in the section

removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for

example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the

administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other

non-marketing purposes.

Account Information

If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or

terminate your account, you can:

Contact us using the contact information provided.

Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your

account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some

information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any

investigations, enforce our legal terms and/or comply with applicable legal

requirements.

Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies

by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove

cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this

could affect certain features or services of our Services.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at

blackbearkiss@hotmail.com.

10. 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 recognising and

implementing DNT signals has been finalised. 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 recognising

or honouring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
