No provision in this Privacy Notice requires us to retain your personal information longer than the duration of your account with us.
When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible (e.g., because your data is stored in backup archives), we will securely store and isolate your personal information until it can be deleted.
In Short: We implement organizational and technical security measures to protect your personal information.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable security measures to safeguard the personal information we process. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is entirely secure.

You are responsible for ensuring that you access our Services in a secure environment.

Managing Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. Be aware that disabling cookies may impact the functionality of our Services. For more details, refer to our Cookie Notice.
If you have any privacy-related questions, you can contact us at contact@skinbounty.eu.
Most web browsers, as well as some mobile operating systems and applications, offer a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting that allows you to signal your privacy preference to prevent online tracking.
However, as no uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been established, we do not currently respond to them.
If a standardized approach to online tracking is adopted in the future, we will update this Privacy Notice accordingly.
California law requires us to disclose how we respond to DNT signals.
Since no industry or legal standard has been established for recognizing DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them.
