In addition, Predictus Search will take reasonable steps to permit customers to correct, amend, delete, or receive a copy of their personal data. To request this access, please contact

We will also retain this personal data as necessary to comply with our legal and/or contractual obligations, comply with court orders, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When the purpose for which Predictus Search is processing the personal data is fulfilled, expires or is terminated, Predictus Search will delete any personal data in accordance with our customer agreements, this Privacy Policy and applicable law. In the event we cannot delete your personal data, we will inform you of the reasons, subject to any legal restrictions.

6.    Data Security Predictus Search employs reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect against the
loss, misuse, and alteration of the personal data it processes. When the Service is accessed using Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 8.0 or higher, Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology protects information using both server authentication and data encryption to help provide that personal data is safe, and secure while in transit. Predictus Search also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and hosts the Service in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to protect against interference or access from outside intruders. These safeguards help protect against unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and provide for the appropriate use of personal data. Nevertheless, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is one hundred percent (100%) secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Service, please contact us at privacy@Predictussearch.com.

7.    Links to Third Party Sites Our Service includes links to other Web sites whose privacy practices may differ from those at www.Predictussearch.com. If you submit personal data to any of these sites, your information is governed by the applicable third-party’s privacy policies and we are not responsible for it. We therefore encourage you to carefully read any notices provided through a hyperlink and the privacy policy of any Web site you visit and raise questions directly with these other providers.

8.    No Services for Minors We do not knowingly collect information from minors. To use the Site, you must be the age of legal majority in your place of residence. By using the Site, you hereby represent that you are at least the age of legal majority in your place of residence. We do not use an application or other mechanism to determine the age of users of the Site. All information provided to us will be treated as if it was provided by an adult. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete information associated with a minor as soon as practicable if we learn that a minor has submitted information about himself/herself to us.

9.    Do-Not-Track Disclosure There are many methods where web browser signals and similar mechanisms can indicate your choice to disable tracking. But we may not be aware of or able to honor every such mechanism. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret web browser-based “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals other than cookies, we may not respond to undefined DNT signals to our Site or online services. More
information about “do not track” is available at www.allaboutdnt.org concerning such information.

10.  Severability The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Privacy Policy in any country shall
