Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Service.
This Policy applies where we offer our Services, products, and platforms to individual users. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Cuttr is usually the processor of your personal data. We are the controller only if we process data for our own legitimate purposes.
As we continually work to improve our Services, we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Upon such changes, we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on the Cuttr website, by sending you an email and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes.
