Book of Dead may share your personal information with third parties under specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as payment processors, identity verification services, IT support, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies: We may disclose your data to government authorities, regulators, or law enforcement agencies if required by law, court order, or to cooperate with investigations into illegal activities.
• Group Companies: Your data may be shared with other entities within our corporate group for internal administrative purposes, service provision, and compliance.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such transfer and the new entity will adhere to similar privacy standards.
• Fraud Prevention: We may share information with organisations involved in fraud prevention and anti-money laundering to protect our services and our users.

Book of Dead takes the security of your personal data very seriously. We implement a range of technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer), to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions, and they are subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
• Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: We employ robust network security measures to protect our systems from external threats.
• Regular Audits and Assessments: Our security practices are regularly reviewed and updated to remain effective against evolving threats.
• Data Minimisation: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to enhance our security protocols.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our retention periods are determined by considering:

• The type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.
• Legal and regulatory obligations, such as anti-money laundering laws, which often require data to be kept for a minimum period after account closure.
• The need to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legitimate interests.

These safeguards may include:

• Transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
• Using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
• Implementing binding corporate rules.

Book of Dead is strictly for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technological advancements.
