Exercising of Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

If self-service options fail in your case you may also exercise Your rights by contacting Us through the Contact Us page using the Legal drop down option. If You make a request, We will try our best to respond to You as soon as possible, but note we are a very small operation with a worldwide audience and as such can’t guarantee a response time.
We are required by law to verify Your identity before responding to User data requests involving PII which opens up a gray area of compliance whereby you may have to submit highly confidential information like an identification card and other documentation which despite best efforts the Company can’t and expressly does not guarantee or warrant will be maintained securely. There could be a security breach - We could get hacked. We reserve the right to terminate your account and delete your data for any reason and in some cases it may make sense for you to simply delete your account and all data and create a new account where you select preferences anew for how your data and privacy preference are handled automatically.
