You can request to delete your account at any time in app or by contacting support. Upon your request, we will delete or anonymize your Personal Data so that it no longer identifies you, unless we are legally allowed or required to maintain certain personal information, including situations such as the following:
If there is an unresolved issue relating to your account, such as an outstanding credit on your account or an unresolved claim or dispute we will retain the necessary Personal Data until the issue is resolved; Where we are required to retain the Personal Data for our legal, tax, audit, and accounting obligations, we will retain the necessary Personal Data for the period required by applicable law; and/or, Where necessary for our legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention or to maintain the security of our Service, we will retain the necessary Personal Data for as long as those interests remain valid.

LATERZ gathers various types of information about its users. This Privacy Policy describers the types of information gathered, how its is used and what choices you have regarding the collection of such information. BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE WEBSITE FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER, YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION (AS DESCRIBED BELOW), ALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET HEREUNDER. If you are under the age of 18, please do not use the Website and/or submit any personal information to us. Any images, videos or other content posted onto the Website becomes published content and is not considered personally identifiable information, subject to this Privacy Policy.
Certain features of the Website may require the submission of personal information. The types of personal information collected with respect to the Website may vary depending on the activity. LATERZ may collect or receive additional non-personally identifiable usage information specifically related to the use of a particular feature or offering on the Website, and responses to the offerings and advertisements presented on the Website. LATERZ may also collect or receive certain non-personally identifiable technical information.
LATERZ’ primary objective in collecting information is to provide and enhance the Website and to enable users to enjoy the Website. The information is used to operate LATERZ’ features, to fulfill your specific requests, to personalize the content provided to you, to communicate with you and to conduct research about your use of the Website and to help offer you other products or services that may interest you. LATERZ may use your personally identifiable information to present you with offers on behalf of advertisers and business partners. However, while LATERZ’ business partners and advertisers may receive aggregated data about LATERZ users, any personally identifiable information of yours will not be shared with third parties, unless you have consented to the sharing of this information. Please note that, notwithstanding the foregoing, your information may be disclosed if requested by applicable regulatory authority and/or court with applicable jurisdiction, as determined in good faith by LATERZ. Furthermore, LATERZ may transfer personally identifiable information in the event of a transfer of ownership of LATERZ or any of its websites or products, in which event, your information could become subject to a different privacy policy.
Note that in the ordinary course of internet activity, certain information may be sent from your browser to third parties such as advertising networks and analytics. LATERZ has no control over the information sent from your browser to those networks or other third parties and recommends that you ensure that your browser settings prevent the disclosure of information you would like to keep confidential.
Like many websites, LATERZ may use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer’s hard disk or your mobile device for record-keeping purposes. Information contained in a cookie may be linked to personally identifiable information for purposes such as improving the quality of LATERZ’ services, tailoring recommendations to interests and making the Website easier to use. Third party advertisers on the Website may also place or read cookies on your browser. Cookies can be disabled at any time by changing your web browser’s options to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. Please note that some functionality of our Website may be impaired if you decline to accept cookies.
The Website may contain links to other websites or applications. The fact that the Website links to a website or application or presents a banner ad or other type of advertisement does not mean that LATERZ endorses or authorizes that third party, nor is it a representation of any affiliation with that third party. If you click on a link to a third party site or application, including on an advertisement, you will leave the Website and will go to the site or application to which such link directs you. Other sites and applications follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. Because LATERZ cannot control the activities of third parties, it cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal information by such third parties and it cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as LATERZ. You are therefore encouraged to read the privacy policies or statements of the websites and applications you visit/use, before providing any personal information.
Unless explicitly requested otherwise, LATERZ may, at its sole discretion, display any photos and other content displayed or created on the Website, on any social platform such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and the like.
LATERZ takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to secure your personally identifiable information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, LATERZ cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to overcome those measures or use your personally identifiable information for improper purposes. In addition, please note that email and messaging systems are not considered secure, so LATERZ discourages you from sending LATERZ personally identifiable information through these media.
LATERZ believes that protecting the privacy of young children is highly important. For that reason, LATERZ does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information on the Website from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our Website is directed to persons under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the Website at any time or in any manner. If LATERZ learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the Website without verified parental consent, LATERZ will take the appropriate steps to delete such information.
In order to delete personally identifiable information you submitted, please contact us. If you wish to modify or update your personally identifiable information, please use the Website. Please note that deletion of any of your personally identifiable information from LATERZ’ database will not prevent LATERZ from using anonymous information gathered. If you require any kind of help, please contact us at info@laterzsocial.com.
