If a user enables and uses biometric authentication functionality with the App, anyone with access to the user’s biometric information, such as the user’s fingerprint(s) or face, may be able to access the App on the user’s behalf. We recommend that users employ a strong device password or other security measures as an additional layer of security for the user’s device. Neither We nor the App have direct access to a user’s fingerprint(s), facial recognition information or other biometric authentication information stored or processed on the user’s device.
For additional information on the biometric authentication functionality for Apple devices, see the Apple Platform Security documentation, available as of the Effective Date at https://support.apple.com/guide/security/welcome/web. For additional information on the biometric authentication functionality for Android/Google devices, see the Android security documentation, available as of the Effective Date at https://source.android.com/docs/security.

International Transfers of User Information
ReliaQuest is based in the United States of America (“USA”), but We have global operations. When users download, install, register or authenticate with, access or use the App, users provide User Information to Us in the USA. ReliaQuest’s subsidiaries and the third parties to whom ReliaQuest discloses User Information are based in the USA, European Union, United Kingdom, India, Singapore and other jurisdictions, some of which may not have laws that require the same level of protection for User Information as where a user resides or the jurisdiction in which the user downloads, installs, registers or authenticates with, accesses or uses the App. We implement appropriate transfer mechanisms in accordance with applicable law to protect the User Information that We transfer, including by using the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Union’s European Commission and the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office. Users may request additional information about the transfer mechanisms employed by ReliaQuest in the manner described in the Contact Information section of this Notice.
While We do no longer rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the USA Department of Commerce (“Privacy Shield”) as a allowable transfer mechanism for User Information, ReliaQuest complies with the Privacy Shield regarding the collection, use, and retention of User Information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the USA. ReliaQuest has certified to the USA Department of Commerce that ReliaQuest adheres to the Privacy Shield principles. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Notice and the Privacy Shield principles, the Privacy Shield principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view Our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.
In compliance with the Privacy Shield principles, ReliaQuest commits to resolve complaints about Our collection or use of User Information. Users residing in or subject to the laws of the European Union or Swiss Confederation with inquiries or complaints regarding our Privacy Shield policy should first contact ReliaQuest in the manner described in the Contact Information section of this Notice. ReliaQuest has further committed to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to the American Arbitration Association.

Children Under the Age of 13
The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and We do not knowingly collect User Information from children under 13 years of age. If We learn We have collected or received User Information from a child under 13 years of age without verification of parental consent, We will delete that User Information. If you believe We might control any information from or about a child under 13 years of age, please contact Us in the manner described in the Contact Information section of this Notice.
Data Security and Retention
We have implemented measures designed to secure User Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All User Information is stored on Our secure servers behind firewalls.
The safety and security of User Information also depends on users. Where We have given users (or where users have chosen) credentials to access to the App, the users are responsible for keeping their respective credentials confidential. We ask users not to share their respective credentials with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet, telecommunications infrastructure and other mobile platforms or devices is not completely secure. Although We intend to protect User Information, We cannot guarantee the security of User Information transmitted through the App. Any transmission of User Information is at the user’s own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures We provide.
We will retain User Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which We collected the User Information. To determine the appropriate retention period, We consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the User Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the User Information, the purposes for which We process the User Information and whether We can achieve those purposes through other means in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We will also retain and use User Information to the extent necessary to comply with Our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce Our policies (see User of User Information and Disclosure of User Information). If a user stops using the App or if a user deletes the user’s account with Us, We will store and delete the relevant User Information in accordance with Our standard data retention and deletion policies, unless We are earlier instructed to delete the relevant User Information, or as necessary to comply with Our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce Our policies.
