3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS

and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like
with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or
fulfill our contractual obligations, protect your rights, or fulfill our legitimate
business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain
the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As
such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
- Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission
(i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can
withdraw your consent at any time. - Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when
we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including
providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with
you. - Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is
reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those
interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms.
For example, we may process your personal information for some of the
purposes described in order to:
Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for
our users
Support our marketing activities
Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities - Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is
necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with

rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are
involved. - Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is
necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party,
such as in situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e.,
express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in
situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can
withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to
process your information without your consent, including, for example:
- If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be
obtained in a timely way - For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
- For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
- If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to
assess, process, or settle an insurance claim - For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next
of kin - If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or maybe
Victims of financial abuse - If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise
the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is
reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of the laws of Canada or a province - If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or
rules of the court relating to the production of records - If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business,
or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the
information was produced - If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
