When you visit our Website, we may automatically collect non-personal information about you, such as the website from which you have come to our Website, your computer type, screen resolution, Operating System version, mobile device details (if applicable) and Internet browser. We may also collect non-personal information such as demographic data, for example your geographic area.

We implement and maintain reasonable security, appropriate to the nature of the personal information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process. We are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring, and updating a reasonable information security program, but no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risks cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.
You are responsible for keeping your password for the Service confidential. The Pollard Family Archives requires you to not share your password with anyone. The Pollard Family Archives requires you to not use the same password that you use on The Pollard Family Archives on any other service.

​
9. DATA RETENTION
We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws. This means that we store your personal information for as long as it is required to deliver our services, except where we have a lawful basis for saving it for an extended period of time (for instance, after your Membership is closed, or you complete a purchase, we may still have a legitimate interest in using your contact details for marketing our service to you). We also retain the personal information we need for the execution of pending tasks and to realize our legal rights and our claims, as well as retain certain personal information that we must store for a legally mandatory period of time (in that latter case, the processing of such information by us is limited).
In some cases, where you or we delete your content, copies of that information may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent any such copy has been shared with others, was otherwise distributed pursuant to your privacy settings, or was copied or stored by other users. For example, a part of your family tree may have been copied by other users into their own family tree. Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for a limited time for our internal business purposes, but it will not be available to you or other users.
​
10. MANAGING YOUR PRIVACY
You can control how you share personal information by limiting what you share with us. We only have public information, information you share with us, or information others say they have the rights to grant us access to.
