2. Analytics information.
The Service may employ third-party analytics tools to help measure traffic and usage trends. These tools collect information sent by your device on our Service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists in improving the Service. This analytics information is collected and used with analytics information from other users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user.
3. Cookies and similar technologies.
The Service may use cookies and similar technologies like pixels, web beacons, and local storage to collect information about how you use the Service and provide features to you. In addition, SDC may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to your devices, which may use cookies or similar technologies placed by SDC or the third party.
4. Log file information.
Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you make a request to access a web page or app. It can also be provided when the content of the webpage or app is downloaded to your browser or device. When you use our Service, our servers may automatically record certain log file information, including your web request, IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. Similar information may also be collected from emails sent to our users which helps track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.
5. Device identifiers.
When you access our Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers”. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with you device, which uniquely identify your device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by the Service. A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.
6. Metadata.
Metadata is usually technical data that is typically associated with User Submitted Content. For example, metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of User Submitted Content was collected and how that content is formatted.

ii. We also may share your information as well as information from tools like cookies, log files, and device identifiers and location data, with third-party organizations that help us provide the Service to you (“Service Providers”). Our Service Providers will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service under reasonable confidentiality terms.

iv. We may remove parts of data that can identify you and share anonymized data with other parties. We may also combine your information with other information in a way that it is no longer associated with you and share that aggregated information.
D. WHAT HAPPENS IN THE EVENT OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL:
If SDC sells or otherwise transfers part or the whole of the Service or its assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your information submitted through the Service may be among the items sold or transferred. The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments made in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use (which can be found at www.valina.com/pages/terms-conditions).
E. RESPONDING TO LEGAL REQUESTS & PREVENTING HARM:
We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others, including as part of investigations; and to prevent death or imminent bodily harm. Information we receive about you may be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or otherwise to prevent harm.
F. HOW WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION
Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which SDC, the SDC Affiliates, or their Service Providers maintain facilities.
SDC, the SDC Affiliates, and/or their Service Providers may transfer information that they collect, including personal information, across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction.
By accessing, using, and/or registering a user account with the Service, you consent to the transfer of information to the U.S. or to any other country in which SDC, the SDC Affiliates, and/or their Service Providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.
We use commercially reasonable safeguards to help keep the information collected through the Service secure and take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your user account. However, SDC cannot ensure the security of any information or content you submit via the Service, or guarantee that information or content submitted via the Service will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
Please do your part to help us. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and user account information, and for controlling access to communications between you and SDC, at all times.
