This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services or Apps and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms (such as Facebook), as well as from other third parties. Examples of the information we receive from other sources include: social media profile information (your name, gender, birthday, email, current city, state and country, user identification numbers for your contacts, profile picture URL, and any other information that you choose lo make public); marketing leads and search results and links, including paid listings (such as sponsored links). We will inform you about the source of information and the type of information we have collected about you within a reasonable period after obtaining the personal data, but at the latest within one month.

2.     In Short: We process your information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our contract with you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your consent.

We collect personal information through our Services or Apps for various business purposes. We process your personal information for these reasons based on our legitimate business interests, to enter into or fulfill a contract with you, with your consent, and/or to comply with our legal obligations. We specify the processing grounds we rely on next to each purpose listed below, if any.

3.     In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share data based on the following legal basis:

1. Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information in a specific purpose.
2. Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.
3. Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.
4. Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
5. Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe It is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

4.     In short: If you choose to register or log in to our services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services or Apps allow you to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (such as your Facebook or Twitter logins). If you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the specific social media provider, but it often includes your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, and other information you decide to make public. If you log in using Facebook, we may also request access to additional permissions related to your account, such as friends, check-ins, and likes, and you may choose to grant or deny us access to each individual permission. We will use the information we receive solely for the purposes described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the Services or Apps. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, additional uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider. We recommend reviewing their privacy policy to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, as well as how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

5.     In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by Law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than 90 days.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

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

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal Information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services or Apps is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

7.     In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 18. By using the Services or Apps, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor's use of the Services or Apps. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to delete such data from our records promptly. If you become aware that we have collected data from children under the age of 18, please contact us at steve@cuttingedgeplasma.com.

8.     Controls for DO-NOT TRACK features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT') feature or setting that you can activate to signal your preference for privacy and prevent your online browsing activities from being monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanisms that automatically communicate your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

9.     In short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you have specific rights concerning access to your personal information.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light' law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with the Services or Apps, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the Services or Apps. To request removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with your account and a statement that you reside in California. We will make sure the data is not publicly displayed on the Services or Apps, but please be aware that the data may not be completely or comprehensively removed from our systems.

10.     In Short: Yes, we will update this policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date, and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification.
