      4 – To whom and why we transfer personal data 

      In order to operate the Services, your personal information may be transferred to other Prep IP entities, subsidiaries, processors or third parties located worldwide.
       
      Privacy of personal data is one of the most important issues for us. We do not pass on this data to third parties unless necessary, and only the data required to comply with legal or accreditation requirements.
       
      We use third-party services that have limited access to your information for specific purposes, such as administration, analytics, optimisation, advertising, marketing assistance, customer service, and data analysis. They assist us with our operations.
       
      Such third parties are authorised to use your information for these purposes only.
       
      If you decide, while using our Services, to use social sharing features such as “Share” or “Like” on Facebook or other third-party social network sites, this may allow the sharing and collection of personal and non-personal information both to and from such third-party social networks.
      You should visit the policies of such third parties for more information about their information collection practices.
       
      We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies activities that we, in good faith, believe to be illegal. We will investigate or take action to counter illegal activity, suspected abuse or unauthorized use of the Products and Services, or to protect the property or safety of others. We also may disclose your information if required by any law or court order worldwide, if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct.
       
      In that case, we will consider applicable local laws, the nature of the order, as well as the legitimacy and proportionality of your information.
       
      In connection with any sale of our company or any line of business (including the assets relating thereto), customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of any such sale or disposition of any or all of our business, your information may be transferred to the acquirer.
       
      5 – Security and confidentiality of your personal information
       
      We have implemented security measures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorised access, maintain data security, and correctly use the personal information collected through the Services.
       
      We take and force applicable third parties to take, reasonable precautions to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
       
      However, please remember that no transmission of data over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information and do not assume any responsibility for the unauthorised use of, or access to, your information that is under our control.
       
      When we use third parties to assist us in processing your personal information we take reasonable steps to require that they comply with this Privacy Policy and otherwise protect your personal information.
       
      If there is a breach of security involving your personal information from our Services, we will inform you immediately according to your local regulations relating to the notification of information breaches, and take commercially reasonable steps to rectify such breach.

      Your actions can oblige Prep IP to stop providing the Products and Services. When the conditions below apply, the Services may be suspended:
       
      • If you request limitations to process personal data that is mandatory for Prep IP, or you object to such processing (in which case, we may not be able to provide you with the Products and Services).
      • If you withdraw your consent or ask for the deletion of your information.

We also reserve the right to retain an archive of such information for a commercially reasonable time to ensure that its deletion does not affect the integrity of our data, and we further reserve the right to retain an anonymous version of such information.
         
        To preserve the confidentiality of your information, we must be sure to correctly identify you. For this reason, we may require you to provide us with a copy of an official document that can prove your identity. This copy will be safely destroyed within two months of your request being received and closed.
         
        Our team will look into your request and will answer you within one month unless your request requires further investigation. You’ll be specifically informed if that is the case.
         
        We remind European customers that they have a right to lodge a complaint with a European Data Protection Supervisor.
