Cross-border disclosure of your information
Some of our associated service providers such as Stripe may perform certain services overseas and as a result your personal information may be disclosed to a recipient in a foreign country. Crib Med is operated in Europe and hosted in a secure data center in the United States.

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy and/or in the way we use your personal information, we will notify you of these changes by republishing this policy. We recommend you consult this Privacy Policy regularly. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
Accessing, updating or correcting your personal information
You may access, update or correct your personal information by contacting us at [email protected] or by updating your Crib Med profile.
Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by providing direct access through the Crib Med Dashboard or emailing it to you). We will not charge for simply making the request and will not charge for making any corrections to your personal information.
There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.
Users who do not want emails from us
If you do not wish to receive email from us you may opt out by changing the settings on your Crib Med profile. You can also opt out of any further email by contacting us at [email protected]. However, it is not possible to be active as a Landlord or Tenant unless we can communicate with you by email so opting out of ALL email would prevent the use of Crib Med services.
Release of Personal Information for legal reasons
We may release your personal information for legal reasons:
- When we believe in good faith that such release is appropriate to comply with the law (for example, pursuant to a statutory demand, subpoena, warrant, or court order)
- To protect against fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the website
- To protect our rights or property
- If we reasonably believe that a situation involving danger of death or injury to any person requires disclosure.
