Your Choices in What Information You Share
We do not require you to provide any personal data to browse our site. However, when browsing our site, any person is logged through our HTTP logs. These logs contain your IP address, what browser you're using, what page you requested, and what time. Our process for collecting most types of information begins when you register for our service using your name, email address, and password. We will request your consent to use your data at that time. We require your personal data as part of your contract with us so we can provide you our services. We will not use your data for more than the purpose for which it was collected.

We specifically collect information related to your referring website, history within the Andcards software, last seen statistics, and use this information and behavior to analyze usage statistics, improve our services, provide quality assurance testing, and address service-related issues.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We will retain your Personally Identifiable Information until you request in writing that we delete or otherwise remove your Personally Identifiable Information.
We will retain Non-Personally Identifiable Information as part of our historical analysis of how our services are used, until such data no longer provides any historical use.

Protecting Your Information
Keeping it Safe
Paramount Holdings makes reasonable and commercially feasible efforts to keep your information safe. Though we are a small business, we have appropriate security measures in place to prevent your information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. We restrict access to your personal information to those who need to know it, are subject to contractual confidentiality obligations, and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
That said, no organization or business can guarantee 100% data protection. With that in mind, we also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will inform both you and any applicable authorities of a suspected data security breach, as and when required by law.
Links to Other Websites
Our site has links to the sites, content, and services of other businesses, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, and other third parties. Any products or services found through a link to any of these other sites are subject to separate privacy policies. Paramount Holdings is not liable for any content provided or actions taken by such third parties.
Use by Minors
This website, its content, and our services are not intended for anyone under the age of 13. Paramount Holdings does not knowingly collect information from those under the age of 13. If Paramount Holdings learns it has accidentally collected such information, it will be deleted.
Compliance with Regulators
We regularly review our privacy policy to do our best to ensure it complies with any applicable laws. Ours is a small business, but when we receive formal written complaints, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up as soon as practicable. We will work with relevant regulatory authorities to resolve any complaints or concerns that we cannot resolve with our users directly.
Waiver of Liability for Third Party Use
In the limited situations, as above, where we would share your information with third parties, we limit our interactions to third parties which we have confidence will not misuse your information. However, we do not control those third parties or their security protocol. You agree that we are not responsible for any misuse of information by third parties, whether such misuse is through negligence, intentional misconduct, or any action or inaction by a third party or others.
