In Short: We are not responsible for the security of any information you share with third-party providers who advertise or link to our Services.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications, and may include advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us, which may link to other websites, services, or applications. We do not make any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link toward a third-party website, service, or application does not imply an endorsement by us.

We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from our Services. You should review the privacy policies of such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.

6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?

In Short: Yes, your information may be transferred, stored, and processed in countries other than your own.

Our servers are located in the European Union, and we may transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EU. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or another region with laws governing data collection and use, please be aware that your information may be transferred to countries that do not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as relying on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your personal information.

European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses:

We have implemented measures to protect your personal information, including by using the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies and between us and our third-party providers. These clauses require all recipients to protect all personal information that they process originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations. Our Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request.

We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners, and further details can be provided upon request.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by law.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, legal, accounting, or other regulatory purposes). The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.

  • User Account Data: We retain this data as long as you maintain an account with us. If you choose to delete your account, all associated data will be permanently deleted within 30 days, except where required for legal or regulatory purposes.
  • Payment Data: We retain this data only for the duration required to complete the transaction or as required for financial records and audit purposes.
  • Analytics and Log Data: We keep this information for up to 12 months to ensure we can monitor app performance, improve our services, and address any issues with user engagement or fraud detection.

Once your personal information is no longer necessary for our legitimate business interests or required by law, we will securely delete, anonymize, or isolate it to prevent further processing.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. These measures are aimed at preventing unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, theft, destruction, or alteration of your data. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

Some of the security measures we use include encryption, access controls, firewalls, and regular monitoring of our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment, and we encourage you to take steps to protect your information, such as using strong passwords and avoiding sharing your account details with others.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and relevant international regulations. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us at contact@dreamsapp.xyz, and we will delete the data as quickly as possible.

For users between the ages of 13 and 18, we encourage parents or guardians to be involved in their online activities and usage of our app.
