5. DO WE USE
COOKIES AND
OTHER TRACKING
TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use
cookies and other
tracking technologies to
collect and store your
information.
We may use cookies and
similar tracking

beacons and pixels) to
gather information when

Services. Some online
tracking technologies help
us maintain the security
of our Services and your account, prevent crashes,

We also permit third
parties and service
providers to use online
tracking technologies on
our Services for analytics
and advertising, including
to help manage and display
advertisements, to tailor

preferences). The third
parties and service
providers use their
technology to provide
advertising about products
and services tailored to
your interests which may
appear either on our
Services or on other
websites.
To the extent these online
tracking technologies are
deemed to be a "sale"/"sharing" (which includes targeted advertising,
as defined under the applicable
laws) under applicable US state
laws, you can opt out of these
online tracking technologies
by submitting a request as described
below under section "DO UNITED STATES
RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC
PRIVACY RIGHTS?"

7. HOW DO WE
HANDLE YOUR
SOCIAL LOGINS?
In Short: If you choose to
register or log in to
our Services using a
social media account, we
may have access to
certain information
about you.
Our Services offer you
the ability to register
and log in using your
third-party social media
account details (like your
Facebook or X logins).
Where you choose to do
this, we will receive
certain profile
information about you from
your social media
provider. The profile
information we receive may
vary depending on the
social media provider
concerned, but will often
include your name, email
address, friends list, and
profile picture, as well
as other information you
choose to make public on
such a social media
platform.
We will use the
information we receive
only for the purposes that
are described in this
Privacy Notice or that are
otherwise made clear to
you on the relevant
Services. Please note that
we do not control, and are
not responsible for, other
uses of your personal
information by your
third-party social media
provider. We recommend
that you review their
privacy notice to
understand how they
collect, use, and share
your personal information,
and how you can set your
privacy preferences on
their sites and apps.
8. HOW LONG DO
WE KEEP YOUR
INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your
information for as long
as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined
in this Privacy Notice unless
otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your
personal information for
as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out
in this Privacy Notice,
unless a longer retention
period is required or
permitted by law (such as
tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will
require us keeping your personal
information for longer than the period of time
in which users have an
account with us.
When we have no ongoing
legitimate business need
to process your personal
information, we will
either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this
is not possible (for example,
because your personal information
has been stored in backup archives),
then we will securely store
your personal information and
isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is
possible.
9. HOW DO WE
KEEP YOUR
INFORMATION
SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your
personal information
through a system of organizational and technical security
measures.
We have implemented
appropriate and reasonable
technical and organizational security measures designed
to protect the security of
any personal information we
process. However, despite our
safeguards and efforts to secure
your information, no electronic
transmission over the Internet
or information storage technology
can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure, so we cannot promise
or guarantee that hackers,
cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able
to defeat our security and
improperly collect, access,
steal, or modify your information.
Although we will do our best
to protect your personal information,
transmission of personal information
to and from our Services is
at your own risk. You should
only access the Services within
a secure environment.
10. DO WE
COLLECT
INFORMATION FROM
MINORS?
In Short: We do not
knowingly collect data
from or market to children under 18
years of age.
We do not knowingly
collect, solicit data
from, or market to
children under 18 years of
age, nor do we knowingly
sell such personal
information. By using the
Services, you represent
that you are at least 18
or that you are the parent
or guardian of such a
minor and consent to such
minor dependent’s use of
the Services. If we learn
that personal information
from users less than 18
years of age has been
collected, we will
deactivate the account and
take reasonable measures
to promptly delete such
data from our records. If
you become aware of any
data we may have collected
from children under age
18, please contact us at info@mcat.tools.
11. WHAT ARE
YOUR PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
In Short: Depending on your
state of residence in
the US or in some regions,

Economic Area (EEA),
United Kingdom (UK),

that allow you greater
access to and control
over your personal
information. You may review, change,
or terminate your
account at any time,
depending on your
country, province, or
state of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK,
Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain
rights under applicable
data protection laws.
These may include the
right (i) to request
access and obtain a copy
of your personal
information, (ii) to
request rectification or
erasure; (iii) to restrict
the processing of your
personal information; (iv)
if applicable, to data
portability; and (v) not
to be subject to automated
decision-making. In
certain circumstances, you
may also have the right to
object to the processing
of your personal
information. You can make
such a request by
contacting us by using the
contact details provided
in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US
ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
We will consider and act

your consent at any time. You
can withdraw your consent at
any time by contacting us by
using the contact details provided
in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US
ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
However, please note that
this will not affect the
lawfulness of the processing
before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing
of your personal information
conducted in reliance on lawful
processing grounds other than
consent.

and promotional
communications: You

marketing and promotional
communications at any time
by clicking on the unsubscribe link

requirements.
Cookies and similar
technologies: Most Web browsers are set to
accept cookies by default.
If you prefer, you can usually
choose to set your browser
to remove cookies and to reject
cookies. If you choose to remove
cookies or reject cookies,
this could affect certain features
or services of our Services.
If you have questions or
comments about your privacy
rights, you may email us at info@mcat.tools.
12. CONTROLS FOR
DO-NOT-TRACK
FEATURES
Most web browsers and
some mobile operating
systems and mobile
applications include a
Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or
setting you can activate
to signal your privacy
preference not to have
data about your online
browsing activities
monitored and collected.
At this stage, no uniform
technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals
has been finalized. As such, we do
not currently respond to
DNT browser signals or any
other mechanism that
automatically communicates
your choice not to be
tracked online. If a
standard for online
tracking is adopted that
we must follow in the
future, we will inform you
about that practice in a
revised version of this
Privacy Notice.
California law requires us
to let you know how we
respond to web browser DNT
signals. Because there
currently is not an industry
or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not
respond to them at this time.
