We use certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards that are designed to improve the integrity and security of personal data that we collect and maintain.

When you use share and post on Lockly applications or social networking services, the personal information and content you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to share or submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.

The Service is hosted in the United States and is intended for visitors located within the United States. All the information you provide may be transferred or accessed by entities around the world as described in this Privacy Policy.

If we modify the Policy, we will make it available through the Service, and indicate the date of the latest revision.
