Sharing your personal data

One of our objectives is to enable you to find collaborators that matches what you are looking for.

Our Services may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for privacy or content on third party websites and therefore advise you to read the privacy policy on the websites you visit.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with the Services and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining the performance of the Beatly Services, making data-driven business decisions about features and offerings, complying with our legal obligations and resolving disputes. We keep some of your personal data for as long as you are a user of the Services. For example, we keep your collaboration history, messages and account information.

If you request, we will delete anonymise your personal data so that it no longer identifies you, unless, we are legally allowed or required to maintain certain personal data, including situations such as the following:

• If there is an unresolved issue relating to your account, such as outstanding credit on your account or an unresolved collaboration or dispute we will retain the necessary personal data until the issue is resolved;
• Where we are required to retain the personal data for our legal, tax, audit, and accounting obligations, we will retain the necessary personal data for the period required by applicable law; and/or,
• Where necessary for our legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention or to maintain the security of our users.

We follow best practices to store and protect collected personal data, both during transferring, receiving and storing it. We use encryption where it is possible and well suited.
