5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP
YOUR
INFORMATION?
In Short: We
keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this
Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by
law.
We will only keep
your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes
set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal
requirements).
When we
have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal
information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is
not possible (for example, because your personal information has been
stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal
information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is
possible.
6. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
In Short:
Depending on your state of residence in the
US or in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United
Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada,
you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your
personal information. You
may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on
your country, province, or state of residence.
In some
regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland,
and Canada), you have certain rights
under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to
request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to
request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your
personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not
to be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you
may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal
information. You can make such a request by contacting us by using the
contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT
THIS NOTICE?"
below.
We will consider and
act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection
laws.
Withdrawing your
consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your
personal information, which may be
express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw
your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT
THIS NOTICE?" below.
However,
please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing
before its withdrawal nor, when
applicable law allows, will
it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in
reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
If you have
questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at privacy@timscience.com.
7. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK
FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications
include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your
online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no
uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has
been finalized. As such, we do not currently
respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically
communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for
online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will
inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy
Notice.
California law requires us to let you know
how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not
an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond
to them at this time.
