If any authority lawfully requests Digitech or one of Digitech’s partners to retain and provide personal information, communications content and/or communications or technical data, or permit monitoring or interception, Digitech and/or its partner may comply with that request without being obliged to inform you.
4. What items are placed on your device when using the Digitech services or apps
In order to use most of the Digitech Services, you will need to install the relevant software on your Device. This software enables you to make and receive communications using your mobile network or the internet and sends the necessary communications data, and other data that you define (e.g., profile or status updates, community log-in data) between your Device and the network.
In addition, for web-based Digitech Services, “cookies” may be used. Cookies are pieces of information stored on your Device in order to enable web-based applications to recognize who you are or your preferences (e.g., what language version of the Website you usually use) and provide Digitech with information about the use of its Websites).
Most internet browsers allow you to prevent your Device from accepting or using cookies or require your permission each time a cookie is received. Please note that some personalized Digitech Services may not be available if you choose to disable cookies.
Advertisements appearing on Digitech Services or Websites may be provided by Digitech’s advertising partners who may use cookies, web beacons, and/or other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous statistics. The information obtained in this way (e.g., how many times the Website is visited, how many times you see a particular advert) is used to deliver adverts to you. In addition, we may use profile information about you (e.g., your gender, age or pastimes) to provide advertisements that are more likely to be of interest to you, including by combining with other available information about you. We may share your information with advertisers or other third parties that assist us with these types of services, when we have either removed from it anything that personally identifies you, or encoded or combined it with other information so that it no longer personally identifies you.
5. Your user profile
Your user profile is the information you decide to provide when you create or manage your Digitech Services account (e.g., your user ID, full name, address, telephone numbers, gender, date of birth, language, status, and any other information that you decide to make available). Digitech stores your user profile centrally on a secure server. This information is not visible to other Digitech users. You control your user profile and decide what (if anything) to make public. You can access your user profile within the Digitech Services in order to access, change, correct, complete or remove information. Digitech may remove unsuitable or illegal material at any time from your profile or other postings in accordance with the Terms of Use.
6. Third-party websites and platforms
Digitech Websites and Digitech Services may contain links that will let you access Third Party Services such as another website, platform or application. Third Party Services are outside control and not covered by this Privacy Statement. Digitech accepts no responsibility or liability for Third Party Services. You should take care before providing any personal information to anyone and in these cases especially to review the applicable privacy statements or policies.
Certain Digitech Services use the Google Places service provided by Google, Inc. When you use these services then you also agree to the Google Privacy Policy as set out at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Where Digitech provides the ability for you to log-in to Third Party Services using your Digitech account credentials (a feature known as “Digitech Connect”), then you will be asked to agree to this in each case.

You can view, manage and block the third party services that use your Digitech ID by logging into your Digitech profile at any time. If your Digitech friends sign up for third party services using Digitech Connect, then the information they share may include your Digitech ID so that they can also connect with you on the third party service.
7. How does Digitech protect your personal information?
