This Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of third parties that are not owned or operated by us, including any third party websites, services, applications, online resources to which this website may link or reference (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Third Party Services") and which you can access through the Services. For example, the Services use the Telegram APIs as Third Party Services, so you agree to be bound by the User Agreement, Data Use Policy, and Telegram Platform Policy, when using the Telegram content and services through the Service. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of the Third Party Services. We ask that you carefully read the privacy policies of any third party Services that you access. M8 does not consider concealed information as personal data, so a third party is unable to identify a particular person. We collect and use your personal data for the purposes of providing services, operating and improving our service, providing customer service, conducting research and analysis to improve our products, services and technologies, and to display content in accordance with your interests and preferences. You can always refuse to provide personal data. Should this be the case, some parts of the Service may not be available to you. When you create an account, you agree to provide personal data in order to access the Services. This consent gives us the legal basis to process your data in compliance with the law. You reserve the right to revoke such consent at any time. If you do not agree with how we use your personal data as specified in this Policy, please refrain from using our Services. 1.2. Sensitive Personal Data Subject to the following paragraph, we ask that you not send or disclose to us any sensitive personal information (e.g., insurance number, information related to race or ethnicity, political opinions, religious or other beliefs, health information, biometric or genetic characteristics, the fact of criminal prosecution or membership in a trade union organization) in the Services, with their help or otherwise. If you send or disclose any sensitive personal data by submitting content to the Services, you consent to the processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree with how we process and use such sensitive personal data, you must not provide us with such content. Please note that even if you provide us with such information, we will not store it. 1.3.

This information may include information such as the website that referred you to us, your IP address, browser type, language, hardware type, location, time and duration of access. We may also collect navigational data, including information about the content or pages of the Service that you view, the links you click, and other actions taken in relation to the Service. We use this information to analyze user behavior in order to improve the Service. 1.4. Cookies, pixel tags and local storage We may collect information using cookies, which are small data files that are stored by a website on your computer's hard drive or mobile device. We may use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your computer or mobile device until you delete them) to make your experience with the Services more personal and interactive. We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first-party cookies, which are stored by us on your computer or mobile device and used only by us to recognize your computer or mobile device when you return to any site or application that is part of the Services; and (2) third party cookies, which are set by service providers on websites or applications and may be used by those service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when you visit those websites. 2. Cookies we use 2.1. Types of Cookies The Services use the following types of cookies for the purposes listed below: Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary to provide you with the Services and use some features. For example, they allow you to log into secure parts of websites or applications and help you quickly load content on the pages you need. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide the services you request and we only use these cookies to provide those services. Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Services to remember choices you make while using a site or app, such as remembering your language preferences, your login information, and changes you make to other parts of your account or to your preferences. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a better experience with the Services and save you from having to re-enter your preferences each time you use the Services. Performance Cookies: These cookies are used to collect information about traffic on the Services and how users use the Services. The information collected does not identify a particular visitor. The information is aggregated and is anonymous. It includes the number of visitors, the sites they came from, the pages visited, the time of the visit, data on the previous visit and other similar information. We use this information to make the Services run more efficiently, collect broad demographic information, and track the level of activity on our Services.

Based on the above, and despite the fact that we make every effort to implement the physical, electronic and procedural security measures to protect the privacy of the information that we collect online, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Our service uses security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information in our possession. We use the standard security protocol (SSL), which encrypts information in order to transmit it. All service information is stored on the reliable servers. The access to the stored data is protected by the multi-layered security controls, including firewall, role-based access control and passwords. You are responsible for keeping your password in a secure place.
