We may automatically collect information about you when you use the sites or our services. For example, if you access the sites through a computer, we will automatically collect information such as your browser type and version, computer and connection information, IP address, pages you have visited, and standard web log information. We may use remarketing tools that will serve ads to you based on your location, the content you have explored on our site to render ads to you after you have left our site. If you access the sites through a mobile device, we may also be able to identify the location of your mobile device. You may choose not to share your location details with us by adjusting your mobile device's location services settings.

- If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Major Developers or for taking any pre-contractual steps upon your request, such processing will be based on GDPR Article 6(1) lit (b). If this data is not processed, Major Developers will not be able to execute the contract with you.
- Where the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation, we will process your information on basis of GDPR Article 6(1) lit (c), for example complying in the fields of employment law.
- Where the processing is necessary for the purposes of Major Developers' legitimate interests, such processing will be made in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1) lit (f), for example to detect fraud.

Please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, Major Developers cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit on or through the sites and you do so at your own risk.
