personal information against any hacking or virus dissemination. However, by
using the Booking Platform, the users accept the security implications of data
transmission over the internet and the world wide web which cannot always be
guaranteed as completely secure, and therefore, there would always remain
certain inherent risks regarding use of the Booking Platform. Users are
responsible for ensuring the protection of login and password records for their
account. We are not responsible for any breach of security occurring on a
third-party platform that you may decide to transact with.

We retain your
personal information for a period no longer than is required for the purpose
for which it was collected or as required under any applicable law. Online data
related to online behavioral advertising is kept by Jiffygo for not more than
365 days after which it will expire, subject to certain conditions. However,
the 365 days period may commence again if the same user subsequently visits or
interacts with an ad, email, the Services or a channel. We may retain data
related to you if there is a legal obligation to retain the data; if required
to comply with any applicable statutory or regulatory retention requirement by
law; if we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse; to
