We may not notify you if the way in which we use your Personal Information has not changed, or otherwise where any changes are not material.
If you do not agree with its terms or any of the changes we make, you should either cease using the Ansarada Services or exercise whatever rights you may have, as described in this Privacy Policy, to opt out of how we use your Personal Information.

We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties to allow them to market to you (including through direct marketing) if we have first obtained your consent or if we have other lawful grounds to do so.
We retain Personal Information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so, and where you have not requested us to delete your Personal information, pursuant to any privacy laws that apply to Your Content. Examples of legitimate business needs include, but are not limited to continuing to provide you access to the Ansarada Services or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.
You have a right to request a copy of your Personal Information, to object to our usage of your Personal Information, to request the correction of Your Personal Information, or to request the deletion or restriction of your Personal Information. Your requests and choices may be limited in certain cases such as, but not limited to situations where your request would reveal information pertaining to another person, or where you ask us to delete Your Personal Data, and we are permitted by law to retain Your Personal Data, or have a compelling legitimate reason for doing so.
Subject to any privacy laws that apply to your content, when we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymise it 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.
We only retain Personal Information for such time as permitted by our contracts with our customers, or for such time as those customers otherwise instruct or permit us to do so, or pursuant to any privacy laws that apply to Your Content.

In storing your Personal Information, we use a number of security and organisational measures and technologies to safeguard your Personal Information from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure and misuse, interference or loss. We have personnel tasked with protecting your information, developing new security features, and identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. Our existing security measures include encryption, two-factor authentication, and notifications when new devices and apps are connected with your user account. We also have in place security measures and policies focused on restricting access to sensitive information to authorised personnel, and we consistently review our security procedures and architecture with a consideration of new technologies and updated methods. Despite our reasonable efforts however, no system is ever perfect.
Whilst we hold your information on a secured server behind a firewall and we encrypt data transfer using 256bit SSL encryption, please be aware that there are inherent risks in transmitting information using the internet.
