prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful
purposes.

Lovense APPs and the Websites use persistent cookies that only the Company

and error logs). We collect this information to ensure smooth operation and
improve user experience.
(v) User Generated Content and Public Activities (including Comments and
Product Reviews). We offer you the ability to post content that other users
can read (e.g., comments or product reviews). Anyone can read, collect and
use any personal information that accompanies your posts. Read our Terms and
Conditions on publishing comments for more information. We do not have to
publish any of your content. If the law requires us to take down, remove or
edit your personal information, we will comply to the required extent.
(vi) Intimate Wellness Data
If you choose to use the intimate wellness features
within the App (sometimes described in general fitness contexts as Kegel
exercises), we may collect and process related usage data (e.g., frequency,
duration, intensity levels, and progress records). This information is
collected solely to provide training feedback, track your progress, and
enhance your overall user experience.
Please note that the Lovense product and its intimate wellness features are
not medical devices, and the data collected is not intended for medical
diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of any disease or health condition. Any

the Messaging Service. We may also use your information to enhance the
Messaging Service features and customize and personalize your experiences on
the Messaging Service.
In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing
communications, or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing
lists, please contact us at [email protected].
If the Company intends on using any Personal Data in any manner that is not
consistent with this Privacy Policy, the Company would inform you of such
anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Data is

3.WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
Our Company is not in the business of selling your Personal Data. Maintaining
the privacy of your Personal Data is a vital part of our relationship with
you and an important aspect of the Services that we provide. There are,
however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with
certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers. As we develop our business, we might sell or buy
businesses or assets, including Personal Data. In the event of a corporate
sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data
may be part of the transferred assets.
Agents, Consultants, and Third Parties. The Company, like many businesses,
sometimes contracts other companies to perform certain business-related
functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information,
maintaining databases, customer service and processing payments. When we
employ another entity to perform a function of this nature, we only provide
them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
Additionally, we reserve the right to use third party analytics service
providers and advertising partners to collect personally identifiable
information about your online activities over time and across different
websites when you use our Services, including details as described in this
Privacy Policy. Furthermore, we partner with third parties to provide
certain support services to our users. We try to limit how these third
parties can use the information they gather from you or that we provide. The
processing and storage of any and all information you may provide to any of
such third parties, including information they may collect from you, is not
governed by this Privacy Policy. You will need to review the Privacy and
Cookie Policy of such third party on their websites and accept separately if
necessary.
Legal Requirements. The Company may disclose your Personal Data if required
to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to
(i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or
property of the Company, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or (iv) protect
against legal liability.
4.HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR CONTENT
We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil
the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and in each case in accordance
with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in respect of permitted or
required retention periods and limitation periods relevant to legal action.
The storage periods are determined on a case-by-case basis that depends on
factors like the nature of the information, why it is collected and
processed, relevant legal or operational retention needs, and legal
obligations.
If you wish to close your registered profile or delete your personal
information you have provided to us, please follow relevant instructions in
your account or contact us by email at [email protected].
* Please be noted that any Content that you send to the recipient as

disclaims any obligation or liability for acquisition, storage and use of
the Content by any third party, including the recipient, to whom the Content
is sent by the User.
5.CHILDREN SHOULD NOT SUBMIT PERSONAL DATA
The Company does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under
the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not use the
Services and do not submit any Personal Data through the Services. We
encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's internet
usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children
under the age of 18 never to provide Personal Data to the Services. If you
have reason to believe that someone under the age of 18 has provided
Personal Data to the Company through the Services, please contact us at [email protected],
and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.
6. HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION AND CONTENT
The Company takes commercially reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data
provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The Company uses security measures
for any personal and account data that we store (emails, phone numbers,
etc.). Account-identifiable or user-identifiable data collected through the
Services may be encrypted and stored on our internal databases. The Company
will not sell or transfer account-identifiable data to third parties. Any
accessible data associated with your account or your profile can be
retrieved only if you provide us with your account identifier. Please be
reminded, however, that no internet or email transmission or data storage is
ever fully secure or error free and that information on the Services may be
accessed, disclosed or altered. In particular, email sent to or from the
Services may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in
deciding what information you send to us. Please keep this in mind when
disclosing any Personal Data to Company via the Internet.
Please note that all payments for products and services are processed by
third-parties. The Company makes good-faith efforts to use third-party
companies which employ proper protections for private information. However,
we have no control over said companies; therefore, the Company exclusively
disclaims any obligation or liability for said third-parties' processes and
security measures.
