We put in place reasonable security arrangements to protect your privacy and Personal Data, in such manner and to such extent as we deem reasonably appropriate to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, processing, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks. However, there is no such thing as "perfect security" and while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we do not guarantee absolute security in any way, and you should not expect that your Personal Data or private communications will always remain private and/or safe from any unauthorized access or misuse by third parties.
4.2. Your Personal Data to be used by us is stored on our and/or its data center providers’, and cloud service providers’ and other service providers’ servers located in Singapore. We use such procedural and technical safeguards as we deem reasonably necessary to protect your privacy and to protect your Personal Data against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, processing, copying, modification, disposal, or similar risks. Such safeguards include but are not limited to the use of encryption and firewalls.

However, if you remove any Personal Data that is necessary for us to provide you with the Site or Services, our provision of the Site or Services to you may become impossible, impeded, or deficient.

7. Tracking technologies
7.1. We use tracking technologies on our Services. These enable us to understand how you use our Services which, in turn, helps us to provide and improve our Services. However, the tracking technologies do not access, receive, or collect information that can be used to identify you. Below are some examples of tracking technologies used on our Services:
7.1.1. Cookies. A cookie is a small data file sent from a website to your browser that is stored on your device. Cookies are used for a number of purposes, including displaying the most appropriate content based on your interests and activity on our Services, estimating and reporting our Service's total audience size and traffic, and conducting research to improve our Services. We may also partner with selected third-parties such as Google Analytics to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Site through the use of first-party cookies and third-party cookies for such purposes.
The following cookies may be used:
7.1.1.1. Functional cookies. These are used to remember the selections you make on the Site so that your selections are saved for your next visits;
7.1.1.2. Analytical cookies. These allow us to improve the design and functionality of the Site by collecting data on how you access the Site, such as data on the content you access, how long you stay on the Site, etc;
7.1.1.3. Targeting cookies. These collect data on how you use the Site and your preferences. This allows us to personalize the information you see on the Site for you;
7.1.1.4. Third-party cookies. These are created by a website other than Laku6’s. We may use third-party cookies to ascertain your preferences and tailor advertisements around your interests.
If you engage in activities or transactions on the Site which cannot take place without cookies that collect, use, disclose, or process Personal Data, you are deemed to have consented to such collection, use, disclosure, or processing if you had voluntarily provided the Personal Data for that activity or transaction, and it is reasonable that you would do so.
7.1.2. Clear gifs. We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. web beacons or web bugs) to help us better manage content on our Services by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Data collected in this way is anonymous to us, which means we cannot see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is saved and processed by Facebook. Facebook can connect this data with your Facebook account and use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook. A cookie can also be saved on your device for these purposes.
You can opt-out of Facebook’s use of cookies or clear gifs through settings on your Facebook account.
7.1.3. Flash cookies. We use Flash cookies (a.k.a. local shared objects or LSOs) to store some of your viewing preferences on our Services. These are used to collect and store information but differ from browser cookies in the amount, type, and manner in which data is stored.
8. Children’s Privacy
We do not intend for our Sites or Services to be used by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information of users below the age of 18.
