to monitor compliance with these terms or other applicable terms and conditions (including checking submissions by you in relation to your use of the App).

Where we process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (as set out above), for Analytics, we are referring to our legitimate interest in understanding how people are using the App both to improve the App and for it to function more effectively. Therefore, we may use your personal data to understand and analyse use of the App. However, there may be circumstances where we may also rely on other valid legal grounds for the processing of your personal data, such as:

your request for our products or services necessitating steps including processing of your personal data to be taken prior to entering into a contract with you and any processing that is necessary for fulfilment of any such contract, for example entry to competitions; and

Your personal data will be retained until your last use or purchase of our products or services and/or where we have a legitimate and lawful purpose to do so. The retention of your personal data will be subject to periodic review. We may keep an anonymised form of your personal data, which will no longer refer to you, for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so.

There are circumstances where we disclose your personal data to third parties. This will only take place in accordance with the applicable law and for the purposes set out below. These scenarios include disclosure:

to our outsourced service providers or suppliers to facilitate the provision of our products or services to our users, for example:

to public authorities where we are required by law to do so; and
to any other third party where you have provided your consent.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. Where reasonably possible we use industry-standard technology to allow for the encryption of sensitive information we collect.

We are committed to delivering the rights that individuals are entitled to under data protection laws in the UK (or as otherwise applicable). These are:

the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. To do this, please contact us at the address shown below making clear that you are requesting a copy of your personal data and including full details of what you require. You may also be required to submit a proof of your identity and a fee;
the right to object to your personal information being used for direct marketing. We will give you the ability to object to this, and where required we will ensure we obtain your consent before undertaking marketing;
the right to object to your personal data being processed where the legal basis for the processing is our own legitimate interests as a business (see the ‘legal basis for processing’ section above). We will comply with such a request unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so, such as, when we need to continue to process your data to defend a legal claim;
the right to rectification. You may request that we rectify any inaccurate and/or complete any incomplete personal data;
the right to withdraw consent. You may, as permitted by applicable law, withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Please note that if you withdraw your consent, you may not be able to benefit from certain service features for which the processing of your personal data is essential;
the right of erasure. You may request that we erase your personal data and we will comply, unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so. For example, there may be an overriding legitimate ground for keeping your personal data, such as, a legal obligation that we have to comply with, or if retention is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations;
the right to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may request that we provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and have it transferred to another provider of the same or similar services to us. Where this right is applicable, we will comply with such transfer as far as it is technically feasible; and
