For clarity, we may transfer, share, or otherwise use non-personal data at our discretion.
Please note that our services enable social interactions (e.g., posting content, information, and comments publicly and chatting with other users). We remind you that any content or data you make available in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others. We recommend avoiding posting or sharing information you do not wish to be public. If you upload content to our digital assets or otherwise make it available through the use of a service, this is done at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public with access to your data or content. You acknowledge and confirm that copies of your data may remain accessible on cached and archived pages or after third parties have copied or stored your content, even after deletion.
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 automatically collect your data to improve the navigation experience on our digital assets, optimize performance, ensure a personalized user experience, and enhance security and fraud prevention measures.
To learn more, please read our Cookie Policy.
We will not share your email address or other personal data with advertising companies or ad networks without your consent. However, we may display advertisements on our services and digital assets (including websites and applications that use our services), which may be tailored to you, e.g., based on your recent browsing behavior on websites, devices, or browsers.
To deliver these ads to you, we may use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including clear GIFs) and/or HTML5 Local Storage and/or other technologies. We may also use third parties, such as network advertisers (i.e., third parties who display ads based on your website visits), to serve targeted ads. Third-party ad networks, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may also use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including clear GIFs) and/or Flash cookies and/or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and personalize advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are subject to the specific privacy policy of the respective third party, not this one.
Where do we store the data?
Non-personal data
Please note that our company and trusted partners and service providers are located around the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process all non-personal data 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 other jurisdictions where we and our service providers are located, as required for the proper provision of our services and/or as required by law (as explained below).
How long is the data retained?
We retain the collected data for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may rectify, supplement, or delete incorrect or incomplete data at our discretion.
How do we protect the data?
The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform that allows us to offer you our services. Your data may be stored through the data storage, databases, and general applications of our hosting provider. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offer secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services.
All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements, as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes brands like 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.
Despite the measures and efforts we and our hosting provider take, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of any data you upload, publish, or otherwise share with us or others.
Therefore, we encourage you to set strong passwords and avoid providing us or anyone else with any confidential information that, if disclosed, could cause you significant or lasting harm. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure communication forms, we ask that you refrain from sharing confidential information through these channels.
How do we handle minors?
The services are not intended for users who have not reached the legal age of majority. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you are not of legal age, you should not download or use the services or provide us with any information.
We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time to verify that minors are not using our services. If we become aware that a minor is using our services, we may block access and delete any data stored about that user. If you believe that a minor has provided us with data, please contact us as described below.
Updates or changes to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy at our discretion from time to time. The version published on the website is always current (see date of "Last Update"). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for changes. In case of significant changes, we will post a notice on our website. By continuing to use the services after being notified of changes on our website, you confirm and agree to the changes in the Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by the terms of these changes.
