Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) shall have the same meanings as those defined in our Terms and Conditions.

This Privacy Policy specifically addresses our obligations in respect of personal data privacy under the Relevant Laws. Where practicable, we undertake to also apply the principles and the processes set out in the Relevant Laws to our operations globally.

9. Links to third-party websites

Subject to this Privacy Policy, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on the Platform. You understand and acknowledge that the fact that we may include or offer third-party products or services on the Platform does not mean that we endorse or authorise the collection of Data by such third parties, nor does it constitute a representation of any affiliation between us and such third parties.
