Your name, email address, and other identifiable profile information is editable through the profile settings in your Marrakesh account except as noted below. Please contact the Marrakesh team to access and update this or other information.

Exceptions:
Usernames cannot ever be changed. This is a Marrakesh system restriction. Because usernames identify you on the Marrakesh Site, Marrakesh encourages you to use discretion in choosing your username. If you want to protect your identity, do not use your real name or a name identifiable to you as your username.

Marrakesh does not track or index every time or every place on the Marrakesh, so Marrakesh will be able to help you locate or manage all such instances. Marrakesh encourages you to use discretion before volunteering Personal Information on the Marrakesh Site.

Delete account and Personal Information
To request deletion of your Marrakesh account and Personal Information, you should click the button labeled “Delete my account” in your Marrakesh account settings.

With respect to your Marrakesh account, Marrakesh will permanently:
deactivate your Marrakesh account,
remove the active profile, and
retire your username.

With respect to your Personal Information, Marrakesh will permanently delete your Marrakesh account profile Personal Information from the Marrakesh Site.

As noted above, to the extent that Marrakesh associates the information that Marrakesh collects directly or indirectly with an individual (for example, you), the association is based on Personal Information in your Marrakesh account profile. By erasing the Personal Information in your Marrakesh account profile, the remaining information about your activity on the Marrakesh Site will no longer be associated with you, except as noted below.

Exceptions:
Deletion will not apply to historical activity logs or archives unless and until these logs and data naturally “age-off” the Marrakesh system.

Marrakesh stores information, including Personal Information, on its own servers and also on servers of companies that Marrakesh hires to provide services. In each case, information may be stored in the United States and in other countries where Marrakesh operates, and in countries where Marrakesh respective service providers operate.

If you are in the European Union, Switzerland, or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, you acknowledge that Marrakesh may transfer, process and store your personal information in the United States and other countries, the privacy laws of which may be considered less strict than those of your region.

Marrakesh controls its own copy of information collected through the Marrakesh Site and has an information security program designed to protect information in its possession or control. This is done through a variety of privacy and security policies, processes, and procedures. Marrakesh uses administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information that it collects, receives, stores, or transmits.

Nonetheless, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure; and therefore, Marrakesh cannot guarantee its absolute security. While Marrakesh works hard to ensure the integrity and security of its network and systems, Marrakesh cannot guarantee that its security measures will prevent “hackers” or other unauthorized persons from illegally accessing or obtaining information.

If Marrakesh learns of a security breach involving its copy of your Personal Information, Marrakesh may attempt to notify you electronically so that you may take appropriate protective steps. By using the Marrakesh Site or providing Personal Information to Marrakesh, you agree that Marrakesh can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Marrakesh Site.
