Please note that our Services enable social interactions (e.g., posting content, information, and comments publicly and chatting with other users). Please note that any content or data you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others. We don't recommend posting or sharing information with others that you don't want to make public.

We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public with access to your data or content. You acknowledge and hereby acknowledge that copies of your data may remain available on cached and archived pages even after they have been deleted or after a copy/storage of your content has been made by third parties.

 

 

Cookies and similar technologies

 

When you visit or access our Services, we authorize third parties to use web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, and other technologies and analytics services ("Tracking Technologies"). These tracking technologies may allow third parties to collect your information automatically to improve the navigation experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, and provide a tailored user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.

 

To learn more, please read our Cookie Policy.

 

We will not share your email address or other personal information with advertising companies or ad networks without your consent.

 

 

Where do we store the data?

 

Non-personal data

 

Please note that our companies, as well as our trusted partners and service providers, are based around the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process any non-personal information we collect in different jurisdictions.

 

Personal data

 

Personal data may be maintained, processed and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and, to the extent required for the proper provision of our Services and/or by law (as further explained below), in other jurisdictions.

 

 

How long will the data be retained?

 

Please note that we retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We may correct, amend, or delete inaccurate or incomplete information at any time at our sole discretion.

 

 

How do we protect the data?

 

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can offer our services to you. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider's data storage, databases and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall, and it provides secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

 

All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the PCI-DSS (Credit Card Industry Data Security Standard) and the PCI Security Standards Council. This is the collaboration of brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) by our store and service providers.

 

Notwithstanding the actions and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of the information you upload, post, or otherwise disclose to us or others.

For this reason, we ask that you set strong passwords and, if possible, do not provide us or others with confidential information that you believe could cause you material or lasting harm if disclosed. In addition, since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not share confidential information through any of these communication channels.

 

 

How do we deal with cookies?

 

Children can use our services. However, if they want access to certain features, they may have to provide certain information. The collection of some information (including information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may be automated. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose information collected from a child, we will notify and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not make a child's participation in an online activity conditional on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We will only use the information we collect in connection with the services the child has requested.

 

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities on the Services. Parents can access information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting any more information about your child, and request that any information we collect be deleted from our records.

 

Please contact us to view, update or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe that your identity is questionable. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.

 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only if we are satisfied that:

 

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (e.g. to provide you with the services themselves or customer or technical support);

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with relevant legal or regulatory obligations, or

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that this is done at all times in a manner that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).

​

As an EU resident, you can:

 

  • request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your stored personal data and certain additional information;

  • Request receipt of personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;

  • Request correction of your personal data held by us;

  • request erasure of your personal data;

  • object to our processing of your personal data;

  • request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, or

  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

 

Please note, however, that these rights are not fully valid and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have any general questions about the personal information we collect and how we use it, please contact us as indicated below.

In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders to affiliates or other third parties and from your country/jurisdiction to other countries/jurisdictions worldwide. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.

 

If you are a resident of the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that there is an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have appropriate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so as to minimise the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal data and that such third parties act at all times in accordance with applicable laws.

We may, at our sole discretion, revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, and the version published on the Website will always be up to date (see "Status"). We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. In the event of material changes, we will post a notice on our website.
