Your Privacy. Our privacy policy details how Your information is used and processed when You use the Services. By using the Services, You agree that we can use and process Your information in the ways set out in our Privacy Policy, found at the following link: ocean recovery group.com/privacy/. Both Ocean Recovery Group and account holders (typically, sellers) process users of the Services’ Personal Information and are therefore considered separate and independent data controllers of Personal Information under EU law. That means that each party is responsible for the Personal Information it processes in providing the Services. For example, if a seller accidentally discloses a buyer’s name and email address when fulfilling another buyer’s order, the seller, not Ocean Recovery Group, will be responsible for that unauthorised disclosure. If, however, Ocean Recovery Group and sellers are found to be joint data controllers of buyers’ personal information, and if Ocean Recovery Group is sued, fined, or otherwise incurs expenses because of something that You did as a joint data controller of Personal Information, You agree to indemnify Ocean Recovery Group for the expenses (including legal fees) it occurs in connection with Your processing of Personal Information.

- To take reasonable actions to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Services, and to notify Ocean Recovery Group promptly of any unauthorized access or use.
- To provide complete and accurate information about Yourself.
- That You are responsible for Your accounts and any activity on Your accounts. If You share an account with other people, then the person whose billing information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. If You are registered as a business entity, You personally guarantee that You have the authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of the business.
- That Your accounts are not transferable.
- That You are responsible for all Content. All Content belongs to You, including anything You post using the Services (such as names, profile pictures, listing photos, listing descriptions, reviews, comments, videos, usernames, and Personal Information).
