6. YOUR RIGHTS

   1. You can exercise any of the rights described in this section consistent with applicable law. See here for information on data subject rights requests and how to submit a request. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity and request before taking further action on your request.
   2. Managing Your Information. You can access and update some of your personal information through your Account settings.
   3. Data access and portability. In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to request certain copies of your personal information or information about how we handle your personal information, request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and/or request that we transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).
   4. Data erasure. In certain jurisdictions, you can request that your personal information be deleted. Request to delete information should be submitted to Breezit via email [email protected] and the information will be deleted within 3 business days. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:
      1. We may retain your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as prevention of money laundering, fraud detection and prevention, and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend a Breezit account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain information from that account to prevent that Member from opening a new account in the future.
      2. We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, we may keep information for tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.
      3. Information you have shared with others (e.g., reviews, forum postings) will continue to be publicly visible on Breezit, even after your account is cancelled. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) will remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
      4. Because we take measures to protect data from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

7. SECURITY 

   1. While no organization can guarantee perfect security, we are continuously implementing and updating administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration.

8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

   1. We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time in accordance with applicable law. If we do so, we will post the revised privacy policy and update the “Last Updated” date at the top. In case of material changes, we will also provide you with notice of the modification by email at least thirty (30) days before the effective date. If you disagree with the revised privacy policy, you can cancel your account.
