The personal data we collect through our Services may include information such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more. When we combine personal data with non-personal data, we treat the combined data as personal data as long as it remains combined.

We may share your data with our service providers to operate our Services (e.g., data storage via third-party hosting services, providing technical support, etc.).

 

We may also disclose your data under the following circumstances: (i) to investigate, detect, prevent, or address illegal activities or other wrongdoing; (ii) to establish or exercise our rights of defense; (iii) to protect our rights, property, or personal safety, as well as that of our users or the public; (iv) in the event of a change of control at our company or one of our affiliates (e.g., through a merger, acquisition, or purchase of (substantially) all assets, etc.); (v) to collect, retain, and/or manage your data through authorized third-party providers (e.g., cloud service providers) as appropriate for business purposes; (vi) to work with third-party providers to improve your user experience. To avoid any misunderstanding, we would like to clarify that we may share or otherwise use non-personal data at our discretion.

 

**Category: User has a blog or forum**

 

Please note that our Services allow for social interactions (e.g., publicly posting content, information, and comments, and chatting with other users). We advise that any content or data you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others. We discourage the posting or sharing of information you do not wish to make public. If you upload or otherwise make content available on our digital assets as part of using a service, you do so at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or the public with access to your data or content. You acknowledge and confirm that copies of your data may remain viewable even after deletion on cached and archived pages or if other users or third parties have copied or stored your content.

 

**Cookies and similar technologies**

 

When you visit or access our Services, we authorize third parties to deploy 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 your 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.

 

**Category: The user is NOT connected to an advertising service**

 

Without your consent, we will not share your email address or other personal data with advertising companies or ad networks.

 

**Category: The user is connected to an advertising service, a campaign manager, or Facebook Ads**

 

We may provide advertising through our Services and our digital assets (including websites and applications that use our Services) that may be tailored to you, such as ads 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 that display ads based on your website visits), to serve targeted ads. External providers of 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 customize advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are subject to the specific privacy policy of the respective third party and not this one.

 

**Where do we store the data?**

**Category: Always**

 

**Non-personal data**

 

Please note that our companies, as well as our trusted partners and service providers, are located worldwide. For the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we store and process all non-personal data we collect in various jurisdictions.

 

**Category: User collects personal data**

 

**Personal data**

 

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

 

**How long is the data retained?**

**Category: Always**

 

Please note that we retain the collected data 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, supplement, or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at our discretion at any time.

 

**How do we protect the data?**

**Category: Always**

 

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

 

**Category: User accepts payments/eCom**

 

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

 

**Category: Always**

 

Despite the measures and efforts we and our hosting provider take, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, post, or otherwise share with us or others.

 

For this reason, we ask that you set secure passwords and refrain from providing us or others with any confidential information whose disclosure you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm. As email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not share confidential information via these communication channels.

 

**How do we handle minors?**

**Category: User does NOT collect data from minors**

 

The Services are not intended for users who have not yet reached the legal age of majority. We will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are under the legal age, you should not download or use the Services, nor provide any information to us.

 

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 prohibit and block that user from accessing our Services and delete any data stored with us concerning that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided us with data, please contact us as explained below.

 

**Category: User collects data from minors**

 

Children may use our Services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. Some data collection (including data collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may occur automatically. When we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data collected from a child, we will provide notice and seek parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not condition a child’s participation in an online activity on providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary for participation in that activity. We use the data we collect only in connection with the Services that the child has requested.

 

We may also use a parent’s contact information to communicate about the child’s activities within the Services. Parents may review the data we have collected from their child, prevent us from collecting further data from their child, and request that any data we have collected be deleted from our records.

 

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

 

**Category: Always**

 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes set forth in the Privacy Policy and only when we believe that:

 

- The use of your personal data is necessary to fulfill or enter into a contract (e.g., to provide you with the Services themselves or customer support 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 in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights at all times).

 

**As an EU resident, you may:**

 

- Request confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your stored personal data as well as certain supplementary information;

- Request to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format;

- Request the deletion of your personal data;

In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data cross-border to affiliated entities 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 when we believe 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 with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data is minimized and that these third parties act in compliance with applicable laws at all times.
