Each of these providers maintains its own security practices and privacy policies. While we choose reputable providers and take reasonable steps to protect your data in transit and at rest, we cannot guarantee the security practices of these third parties. By using qYouRated, you acknowledge that your information is processed and stored by these third-party providers, and you agree that qYouRated and NuNiche Media LLC are not liable for security incidents, outages, data loss, or unauthorized access caused by or originating from such third parties, except to the extent required by applicable law.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required by law to retain it longer or where we need it to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to recognize your browser, remember your preferences (such as your selected city), keep you signed in, and understand how you use our Services. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of qYouRated, including your ability to stay signed in.

We may also use third-party analytics tools to help us understand usage patterns. These tools may collect information about your use of our Services and other websites over time.

California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. As described in Section 4, qYouRated relies on third-party infrastructure providers, and a security incident at one of those providers could affect your data despite our efforts.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the applicable regulatory authorities as required by applicable law.
