User Account. If you elect to become a registered user to access the Services, we will require you to have a unique username and password combination (“User Credentials”) and provide Personal Information which may include your email address, name, (collectively, a “User Account”). Some of our Services offer you as the user the ability to provide this information via login/authentication integrations with Facebook, Twitter or other third party services. If you accept the terms of those third party integrations, you are granting those services the right to share that Personal Information with MAZ in order for us to provide access to the Services. We use and store this information so that we can create your account, verify access to your User Account across devices and across instances of the Services, for the prevention and detection of fraudulent access to your account, and to contact you regarding the administration of any features or functions of the Services. This User Account may be necessary for you to access content, access purchased content, to access starred, saved, or bookmarked content across devices, and to sync your content so that you can do things like start viewing content on one device and pick up where you left off on another device, as well as other such personalized functionality.

Once you subscribe or make a purchase, we may store your Information which additionally includes the subscription start and end dates, pricing, and brand. This allows you to access your subscriptions and purchases on multiple devices. When you make a subscription purpose, or other purchase that requires your Personal Information, we will request your consent to process this Personal Information.
