Any access that we may have to such information from a third party will be handled in accordance with the procedures determined by that service and this Privacy Policy. By authorising us to connect with a third party service, you authorise us to access and store your name, email address(es), current city, and other information that the third party service makes available to us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

When your Personal Information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your Personal Information.
