Except as described in this Policy, we will not disclose the Personal Information that we collect or store on the Service to third parties without the consent of the applicable User. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances:

We may share non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners – like publishers, universities or other content providers and research institutes.

We work with third party service providers who provide website, application development, hosting, maintenance, and other services for us. These third parties may have access to, or process Personal Information as part of providing those services for us. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and our contracts with them require them to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

5. Cookies

Cookies are files with small amounts of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website, such as Facebook and stored on your computer hard drive. We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of the app. This helps us to provide you with a good experience and also allows us to improve the Services.

7. Compliance With Laws

All processing of Personal Information is performed in accordance with privacy rights and regulations following the EU Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 (the Directive), and the implementations of the Directive in local legislation. From May 25th, 2018, the Directive and local legislation based on the Directive will be replaced by the Regulations (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of Personal Data and on the free movement of such data, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Tido’s processing will take place in accordance with the GDPR.

Tido processes Personal Information both as a Processor and as a Controller, as defined in the Directive and the GDPR:

The Tido entity which you as a User entered an agreement with when using Tido’s platform, will be the Controller for User data, as outlined above in “The Information We Collect” section.

We will disclose your Personal Information where required to do so by law or in accordance with an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement or to protect the security or integrity of our Service.

8. Access, Correction, Deletion

We respect your privacy rights and provide you with reasonable access to the Personal Information that you may have provided through your use of the Services. If you wish to access or amend any other Personal Information we hold about you, or to request that we delete or transfer any information about you that we have obtained from an Integrated Service, you may contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section. At your request, we will have any reference to you deleted or blocked in our database.

You may update, correct, or delete your Account information and preferences at any time by contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section. Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.

You may decline to share certain Personal Information with us, in which case we may not be able to provide to you some of the features and functionality of the Service.

At any time, you may object to the processing of your Personal Information, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you believe your right to privacy granted by applicable data protection laws has been infringed upon, please contact us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with data protection authorities.

9. Data Retention

We only retain the Personal Information collected from a User for as long as the User’s account is active or otherwise for a limited period of time as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which we have initially collected it, unless otherwise required by law. We will retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements as follows:

the contents of closed accounts are deleted within 6 months of the date of closure;
backups are kept for 12 months;
information on legal transactions between Client and Tido is retained for a period of 10 years as of their provision to Tido

10. Transfer to other countries

Tido processes information about our users on servers located in other countries. Tido may also subcontract processing to or share your information with third parties located in countries, other than your home country. Information collected within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Switzerland may, for example, be transferred to, and processed by, companies in the Tido group or other third parties located in a country outside of the EEA and Switzerland, where you may have fewer rights in relation to your information. However, Tido only processes your information as described on this Privacy Policy in every country. You expressly consent to your information being used as set out in this section 7. In the event that a dispute arises with regards to the international transfer of data, you agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter.

11. Links To Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

12. Security

We are committed to protecting our users’ information. Your password protects your user account, so you should use a unique and strong password. While we take reasonable data protection precautions, no security measures are 100% secure, and we do not guarantee the security of user information at any time.

13. Children

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

14. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time, so please visit the Privacy Policy regularly.

If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you either through the email address you have provided us, or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service thereafter constitutes acceptance of the changes.
