D: How We Share Your Information

We only share the Information we collect about you as described in this Privacy Policy or as described at the time of collection or sharing, including as follows:

  1. Third Party Agents.

We may share data collected, including Identity Information, with entities that process that information on our behalf for our business purposes.

For this reason, we require Third Party Agents to assist us with services such as payment processing, data analytics, marketing and advertising, website hosting, fraud prevention and detection, communication services, and technical support.

We warrant that our Third Party Agents are prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing information about you for any purposes other than performing the services for us, although we may permit them to use information that does not identify you for any purpose except those prohibited by law.

  1. Other Users.

 The Company primarily facilitates contact between users for the purpose of aiding said users to enter into legal binding agreements for services provided. As such, the Company reserves the right to share a User’s contact information (e.g. name, phone number, email, or postal address) with another User, or with their legal or other representative, in order to achieve this primary function and also to facilitate the resolution of a dispute related to or arising from an interaction between two or more Users and the performance of a Task.

 

  • Legal Obligations.

The Company and its Third Party Agents may disclose information or content generated by the User, including location data or communication data, to another party if required or permitted to do so by law or pursuant to a court order, warrant or subpoena. The Company may in accordance with applicable laws, at its discretion and where it appears to it that a User is causing injury or interference with the use of the app/website by another user or otherwise infringing on the rights of other users, the Company or its affilliates, or the general public; disclose the personal information of that user.

Where the Company is by law required to produce the information of a user, it will do so upon notifying the user except in instances where:

  • the Company is prohibited or otherwise restrained by law or court order from doing so,
  • the Company has reason to believe the User’s account has been compromised such that the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or
  • it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical.
  1. Merger or Acquisition.

The Company has the right to share information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of the Company’s assets, or transfer of all or a portion of the Company’s business to another business.

The information contained in your User Profile may be visible to all Users and the general public.

E. Data Retention Policy

Your personal data may be retained by the Company for as long as you are a User in order to meet our obligations to you under our Terms and Conditions, and for such longer period as may be in the Company’s interests and to comply with our legal obligations. The Company may also retain data in such a manner that no user can be directly identified, for research purposes and to help the Company develop and improve its services. The company warrants that in such circumstances, it will take appropriate measures to ensure that users cannot be re-identified from this data.

F. Security of Information Collected

Every user’s account with the Company is protected by a self - generated password so that only the user and authorized Company staff have access to the account information. In order to maintain this protection, users are to ensure that they do not give their password to anyone. Also, if you share a computer, you should sign out of your Myshabo.com account and close the browser window before the next user logs on. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties.

The Company maintains at all times, reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect information collected from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Although the Company undertakes to secure data collected in as much as possible, the Company acknowledges that transmission is not always secure over the internet and thus, the Company cannot guarantee the security of information about users.
