We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with the Mofity Service and for Mofity's legitimate and essential business purposes, such as:
Deletion
If you close or request that we close your account, we'll delete or anonymise your personal data so it no longer identifies you, unless we're required to keep something or we still need to use it for a legally justifiable reason.
Here are some examples of situations where we're legally allowed or required to keep some of your personal data:
When carrying out the activities described in this Policy, Mofity shares your personal data internationally with Mofity group companies, subcontractors and partners. They may process your data in countries whose data protection laws are not considered to be as strong as EU laws or the laws which apply where you live. For example, they may not give you the same rights over your data.
Whenever we transfer personal data internationally, we use tools to:
We do this using a variety of protections, as appropriate for each data transfer. For example, we use:
You can exercise your rights under the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us or the third party who processes your personal data.
We're committed to protecting our users' personal data. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to help protect the security of your personal data. However, be aware that no system is ever completely secure.
We have implemented various safeguards including pseudonymisation, encryption, access, and retention policies to guard against unauthorised access and unnecessary retention of personal data in our systems.
To protect your user account, we encourage you to:
You can log out of Mofity in multiple places at once by using the "Sign out everywhere" function on your account page.
If other individuals have access to your Mofity account (for example if you've given them permission to use your account on a shared device), then they can access personal data, controls and the Mofity Service available in your account.
It's your responsibility to only provide individuals with permission to use your account where you're comfortable sharing this personal data with them. Anyone else's use of your Mofity account may impact your personalised recommendations and be included in your data download.
Note: This Policy doesn't apply to Mofity Kids, unless the Mofity Kids Privacy Policy says so. Mofity Kids is a separate Mofity application.
The Mofity Service has a minimum "Age Limit" in each country. The Mofity Service is not directed to children whose age:
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the applicable Age Limit. If you're under the Age Limit, please do not use the Mofity Service, and do not provide any personal data to us. Instead, we recommend using a Mofity Kids account.
If you're a parent of a child under the Age Limit and become aware that your child has provided personal data to Mofity, please contact us.
If we learn that we've collected the personal data of a child under the applicable Age Limit, we'll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Mofity account for that child.
When using a shared device on the main Mofity Service, you should be cautious about playing or recommending any content to individuals under 18 years old which could be inappropriate for them.
We may occasionally make changes to this Policy.
When we make material changes to this Policy, we'll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we may display a prominent notice within the Mofity Service or send you an email or device notification.
For any questions or concerns about this Policy, contact our Data Protection Officer any one of these ways:
