Links
We sometimes provide links to third-party websites in the app. While on these sites, these parties may collect information about you.

Where your information is stored
Depending on the type of information you have submitted, your data will either be stored securely in a database on our server; or in the database of our trusted third-party partners, if data was directly submitted by you for a particular purpose on our website. These third-party partners include:
- Google – for anonymous statistical information, and/or personalized data (for visitors from outside the EU).

International Transfers
Due to the multinational locations of our servers, as well as our third-party partners, any information which you consented to provide may be transferred to a location outside of the country or region you are located in. Data will only be transferred to either:
- our servers;
- trusted third-party partners, as indicated in the above section, which we determine to have adequate transparency and security parameters in place for the protection, storage and accessibility of your data.
Data breach prevention
Our servers and website infrastructure are kept up to date and secured by a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect against a data breach via a third party attack.
In the unlikely event of a breach where your stored data is, or may have been compromised, we will inform you within 24 hours after becoming aware of the data breach, and provide you with our action(s) taken in order to protect your data moving forward.
Note that due to a multitude of different vulnerabilities which are present during the submission of data and are outside of our control (local computer viruses, unsecured/compromised internet connections, etc.), we cannot guarantee and are not responsible for compromised data which occurs during the submission of data and as the result of such factors outside of our control. However, once the data has been submitted and is stored in our infrastructure, we ensure that the data is responsibly held and secured.
Data Controller
The data controller is the organization/entity responsible for the protection of information on and submitted to this website. The Data Controller is Longbeard. Complaints, concerns or requests should be sent via the contact form here.
