  • Disclosure of information

Your personal data held in our Site will be stored on the servers and maintained internally by us.

We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us (“Service Providers”). The suppliers with which we share User personal data vary depending on a variety of factors, such as which of our Site and services a User engages with. For example, to provide our services to Users, we typically use the following suppliers:

  • Product improvement and market research – we use third party platforms (such as Google Analytics) to carry out customer surveys and market research to improve our products and services
  • IT services – software development, hosting and maintenance of platform and servers for our Site
  • Marketing services – feature enhancement, support and maintenance

We carry out due diligence on all Service Providers we engage to ensure they have adequate data protection and information security measures in place and only provide them with the personal data necessary to the service they are providing. Measures are taken to ensure that the data shared is non-attributable to the greatest extent possible and our suppliers are also subject to extensive obligations under our contractual arrangements, including strict data retention limits.

In addition to the specific disclosures of personal data, we may disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person. We may also disclose your personal data where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

  • Retention and disposal of personal data

Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

Your personal data is kept as long as activities linked to the above-mentioned purposes are necessary (i.e. maintaining your profile, connecting you with like-minded users, sending you notifications of upcoming and new events, and replying to emails in case you contact OPPORTUMEETY).

You may permanently delete your Account at any time. 

When your Account is deactivated, we take reasonable efforts to make sure it is no longer viewable on the Site. For up to 30 days, it is still possible to restore your Account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. After 30 days, we begin the process of deleting your personal information from our systems, unless:

  1. we must keep it to comply with applicable law (for instance, if you make purchases within the Site, some personal data may need to be kept for accounting purposes);
  2. we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law;
  3. there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or
  4. information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing Users’ safety and security. For example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behaviour or security incidents from opening a new account.

To prevent abuse and/or misuse of OPPORTUMEETY by a User following termination or deletion of a profile/Account we shall retain such information as we deem in our sole discretion may be necessary to ensure that User does not open a new Account and profile in breach of our Terms and Conditions of Use and to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations.

Note that even after you remove information from your profile or delete your Account, copies of that information may still be viewable and/or accessed to the extent such information has been previously shared with others, or copied or stored by others. We cannot control this, nor do we accept any liability for this. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your personal information, they may retain such information to the extent permitted under their terms of service or privacy policies.

  • Your right of access – You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information.
