This Privacy Policy outlines how Flexspeak, Inc. generally handles your personal data.

At the end of this policy, there is information on how to contact us if you have any questions or if you think anything is unclear.

Please note that this policy only covers Flexspeak, Inc.’s use of personal data. Sometimes, other companies buy or license our technology and use it to handle personal data as part of their service offering. In such cases you should refer to the privacy policies of those respective businesses.

We use the personal data that we collect to help promote safety and security on and off our Services, such as by investigating suspicious activity or breaches of our terms or policies and protecting our or others’ rights or property.

3. How is personal data shared?

To provide and support our Services, information that we have about you is shared in certain circumstances. The following can see information about you when you and others use our Services.

Please note that, in connection to some of our Services, we may share personal data in ways which are not described in this privacy policy. In those cases, we will however always notify you clearly in connection with your use of such Service.

You can interact with third-party content, games, apps and other experiences through our Services. We may share information about you with these partners so they can provide you with the experiences that you've requested.

Service providers.

We share the information that we collect with vendors, service providers, researchers and other partners, who work at our direction to support the Services (such as hosting our Services, fulfilling orders, facilitating payments, analysing the way people use our Services, processing credit card payments, providing customer service or sending electronic communications for us).

We store data that identifies you until it is no longer necessary for us to do so, for example when you delete an account with us.

For example, we may retain certain purchase information for accounting and tax purposes even after you have deleted your account.

When you delete an account with us, we delete or anonymize the data you provided us with and the data we collected during your use of the Services. Neither you nor we will be able to restore such deleted or anonymised data.
