Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity and request before taking further action on your request. </p>

If you connected your Yarnsh Account to a third-party service, like Facebook or Google, you can change your settings and unlink from that service in your Account settings. You are responsible for keeping your personal information up to date
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1rem; font-size: .9rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 2;">6.2 <span style="font-weight: 700;"> Data Erasure.</span> In certain jurisdictions, you can request that your personal information be deleted. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information: <br>
<ul style="font-size: .9rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 2;">
<li>We may retain your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as prevention of money laundering, fraud detection and prevention, and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend a Yarnsh Account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain information from that Yarnsh Account to prevent that Member from opening a new Yarnsh Account in the future</li>
<li>Information you have shared with others (e.g., Reviews, forum postings) will continue to be publicly visible on Yarnsh, even after your Yarnsh Account is cancelled. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed. Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) will remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.</li>
<li>Because we take measures to protect data from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1rem; font-size: .9rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 2;">7. <span style="font-weight: 700;"> SECURITY</span> While no organization can guarantee perfect security, we are continuously implementing and updating administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration.
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 1rem; font-size: .9rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 2;">8. <span style="font-weight: 700;"> CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY</span> We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time in accordance with applicable law. If we do so, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Last Updated” date at the top. In case of material changes, we will also provide you with notice of the modification by email at least thirty (30) days before the effective date. If you disagree with the revised Privacy Policy, you can cancel your Account. If you do not cancel your Account before the date the revised Privacy Policy becomes effective, your continued access to or use of the Yarnsh Platform will be subject to the revised Privacy Policy.
