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

language preferences, referring URLs, etc. This information is primarily needed
to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal

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:
§ Analyze how our
Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users
§ Diagnose problems and/or
prevent fraudulent activities
In

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 three (3) months past the
termination of the user's account.
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.
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.

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 vinoquiz@gmail.com.

Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area
(EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater
access to and control over your personal information. You may review,

details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.

Cookies
and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set
to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your

If

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.
