We ensure these parties must adhere to strict data protection and confidentiality provisions that are consistent with this Policy. Measures are taken to ensure that the data shared is non-attributable to the greatest extent possible.
SECURITY & DATA RETENTION
We take commercially reasonable security measures to help protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, or disclosure. We use reasonable security measures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information such as secured servers using firewalls.
Unfortunately no website or Internet transmission is ever completely 100% secure and even we cannot guarantee that unauthorised access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur.
You should use caution whenever submitting personal information through our services and take special care in deciding which personal information you provide us with.
We work hard to protect you from unauthorized access to or alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information. As with all technology companies, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain secure.

We may suspend your use of all or part of the services without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security. If you believe that your account or information is no longer secure, please notify us immediately at info@himoon.app
We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes and as permitted by applicable law. Anonymized and aggregated information is retained for statistical and product research purposes but this information is not attributable back to an individual.

In practice, we delete or anonymize your information upon deletion of your account (within one month), unless:
-
we must keep it to comply with applicable law;
-
we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law;
-
there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or

Keep in mind that even though our systems are designed to carry out data deletion processes according to the above guidelines, we cannot promise that all data will be deleted within a specific timeframe due to technical constraints.
THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTS
