We collect and store Personal Information you provide through this registration process, including your third-party authentication, and user ID plus password.

In addition, we may share aggregate anonymized data relating to activity on the Site and use of the Service, such as demographics and statistical information, for research and other purposes.

Storage and management of your personal information

We use “local storage”, which permits our Site to send information to your browser for storage on your hard drive. This feature can make your use of our Site easier by saving certain aspects about your status and preferences upon visits to our Site. For example, if you close the welcome screen, we use local storage to save the page’s closed status so that we won’t display it next time you visit.

We securely store your information by having the appropriate technical, administrative and physical procedures in place to protect personal information from loss, theft and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, especially for sensitive personal information. We use both internal and external security measures, such as endpoint protection and penetration testing.

We use encryption to keep your information safe while in transit. We also have a wide range of security features to help protect your account.

We constantly review and improve our collection, storage, security and processing practices to prevent unauthorized access to our systems.

While we recognize that no system is perfect, we aim to strive to improve our collection, storage, security and processing practices.

No persons other than the us, or our employees, agents and contractors of those persons, are authorized to access your information held in our database. All persons who can access the information are required to maintain its confidentiality and comply with privacy laws.

We will keep your information for the aforementioned purposes and for any legal and proprietary purposes for a period necessary for us to perform our services, and/or while your Inna Circle account is still active or has not been deleted by you.
