vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who
perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such
information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third
parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information.
This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information

to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the
period we instruct. The categories of third parties we may share personal

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. 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. * 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, the transmission of personal
information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only

records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from
children under age 18, please contact us at brandon@bmsoftware.dev. * WHAT

to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any
time by contacting us 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

of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing
grounds other than consent. 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

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. If you have questions or comments
about your privacy rights, you may email us at brandon@bmsoftware.dev. *
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. * DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS? *
