Below is an overview of the information we may collect:

De-identified and non-identifiable information you provide during the registration process or that is collected through use of our Services (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information does not allow for any conclusions to be drawn about who collected it. Non-Personal Information that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregated usage information.

Individually identifiable information, which is anything that can identify you or could reasonably be identified (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information we collect through our Services may include information requested from time to time, such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more. When we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, we treat it as Personal Information while it is combined.

​

We collect data when you use our Services. So when you visit our digital assets and use Services, we may collect, record and store usage, sessions and related information.

We collect data that you provide to us yourself, for example when you contact us directly through a communication channel (such as an email with a comment or feedback).

We may collect data from third-party sources, as described below.

We collect data that you provide to us when you log into our Services through a third-party service provider such as Facebook or Google.

​

We may use your information for the following purposes:

to provide and operate our Services;

to develop, customize, and improve our Services;

to respond to your feedback, requests, and requests, and to provide assistance;

to analyze request and usage patterns;

for other internal, statistical, and research purposes;

to send you updates, news, promotional materials, and other information related to our Services. For promotional emails, you can choose whether you want to continue receiving them. If not, simply click the unsubscribe link in those emails

​

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

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

​

Please note that our Services allow for social interactions (e.g., posting content, information and comments publicly and chatting with other users). Please be aware that any content or data you make available in these areas may be read, collected and used by others. We advise against posting or sharing information that you do not want to make public. If you upload content to our Digital Assets or otherwise make it available as part of using a Service, you do so at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public who have access to your data or content. You acknowledge and agree that copies of your data may remain available in cached and archived pages even after deletion or after a third party makes a copy/store of your content.

​

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 enable third parties to automatically collect your information to improve the browsing experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, provide a customized user experience, and 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.

Please note that our companies, as well as our trusted partners and service providers, are located 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 as necessary for the proper provision of our Services and/or as required by law (as further explained below) in other jurisdictions.

​

Please note that we retain the data 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 data at any time at our sole discretion.

​
The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can provide our services to you. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider's data storage, databases, and general applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall, and they provide 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 the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) regulations of the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaboration between brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that our store and service providers handle credit card information securely (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures).

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

​

For this reason, we ask that you use strong passwords and, if possible, not send us or others any confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. Additionally, because email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not share any confidential information through any of these communication channels.

​

​

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 (for example, 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 always done in a manner that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).

As an EU resident, you can:

request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed and request access to your personal data held about you, as well as certain additional information;

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

request rectification of your personal data held by us;

request the deletion of your personal data;

object to the processing of your personal data by us;

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

file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

​

Please note, however, that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal information we collect and how we use it, please contact us as set out 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 around the world. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.

If you are located in the EEA, your personal information will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or equivalent level of protection of personal information exists. 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 to minimize the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal information and that such third parties act in compliance with applicable laws at all times.
