7. How Do We Protect Your Personal Information

A) Security

In order to help ensure a secure environment for the Services and safe experience for our users, we are continuously developing and implementing reasonable administrative, technical and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized use or access and against loss, misuse or alteration.

 

While we try our best, we cannot warrant the security of any information transmitted to us through or in connection with the Services, that we store on our or our authorised partners' systems.

 

Any improper collection or misuse of personal information is a violation of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use and should be reported to feedback@owll.ai

 

B) Pseudonymisation, anonymisation and aggregation techniques

These privacy-enhancing techniques involve modifying or removing certain identifying information from your personal data and information to make it more difficult to link the data or information to you. We only use information that has gone through this privacy-enhancement process if we are using them to improve functionalities of the Services.

 

C) Personal information retention

Generally, we will store your personal information only for the time period necessary:

a. to fulfil the purposes for which such personal information was collected;

b. for as long as needed to provide you the Services; or

c. as required or permitted by applicable laws (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

 

Once we determine that the retention of your personal information is no longer necessary for the above purposes, or that retention is no longer necessary for any legal or business purpose, we will cease to retain your personal information, or anonymise the personal information so that it can no longer be used to identify any particular individual.

 

8. Protecting Children's Privacy

We believe in protecting children's privacy online. OwllAI is not meant for use by minors. If you are under the legal age of your country, please do not use our OwllAI in any manner.

 

We do not knowingly collect personal information and data from children and the OwllAI is not directed at children. Any person who provides their personal information to us through our Services explicitly represents that they are of legal age. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with their personal information, we will, where technically feasible and commercially practical, disable that user's access to our Services and promptly delete their information or remove their information to the extent required by law, save when we are under a legal obligation to keep certain information.
