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 Google or X logins).

No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than three (3) months past the termination of the user's account.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise 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.

7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

We work diligently to protect Chronika and our users from unauthorized access, changes, disclosure, or destruction of the information we hold. However, it's important to note that no online transmission or data storage system can be fully guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we take every precaution to protect your personal information, please understand that when you use our services, it's your responsibility to ensure you do so in a secure environment.
