Security of your Personal Information

This information is required by 4MINDS to be kept confidential. Although we use our best efforts to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal information, unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You should only access our Site within a secure environment. You will remain solely responsible for the security of your computer at all times.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we maintain appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information and data stored on our system. 4MINDS adheres to the ISO27001 standard and uses SSL Protocol and SSL Encryption for this purpose.

Our Site may contain links to, or advertisements about, non-4MIND Sites. Other sites may also reference, advertise, or link to the 4MIND Site. While you are using the Site, you may be linked or directed to other third-party Sites that are beyond our control. These third-party Sites may have privacy policies and terms of use which differ from ours. Please carefully review these policies. We are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

If you download or use the App through a third-party platform or app store, that platform or app store may collect information about you and may apply its own terms and privacy practices, which we do not control. Please review those policies carefully.

When we have no legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, 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. In all instances aside from backup files, unless otherwise permitted or required to maintain by law or to allow for the purpose for which information was collected, we will delete your Personal Information two years after your last contact with us.

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. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals across the internet is available, and we cannot control the DNT handling of third parties that may interact with our Site. 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.
