What data do we collect?
Category: Always
Below you will find an overview of the data we may collect:
-
Unidentified and non-identifiable information you provide during the registration process or that is collected through your use of our services ("Non-Personal Information"). Non-Personal Information does not identify who collected it. The Non-Personal Information we collect primarily consists of technical and aggregated usage information.

Individually identifiable information, meaning anything that can be used to identify you or could reasonably be expected to identify you ("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 remains combined.
How do we collect data?

Please note that our Services enable 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 can 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 your use of 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 understand and acknowledge that copies of your data may remain available in cached and archived pages even after deletion of your data or after a third party makes a copy/store of your content.
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 enable third parties to automatically collect your information to enhance your browsing experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, provide a customized user experience, and for security and fraud prevention purposes.

Category: The user is NOT connected to an advertising service

Category: The user is connected to an advertising service, a campaign manager or Facebook Ads
We may serve advertising through our Services and our digital assets (including websites and applications that use our Services), which may also be tailored to you, such as ads based on your recent browsing behaviour across websites, devices or browsers.
To deliver these adverts to you, we may use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including transparent 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 serve ads based on your website visits), to serve targeted ads. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or website 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 customise advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by the specific privacy policy of the third party and not this one.
Where do we store the data?

Non-personal data
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.

Please note that we will 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, supplement or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our sole discretion.
How do we protect the data?
Category: Always
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 via our hosting provider's data storage, databases, and general applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall and provide secure HTTPS access to most areas of their 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. This is a collaboration between brands such as 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 our service providers.
Category: Always
Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of any information you upload, post or otherwise transmit to us or others.
For this reason, we ask you to use secure passwords and, if possible, not to send us or others any confidential information whose disclosure you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm. Furthermore, 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.
How do we deal with minors?
Category: User does NOT collect data from minors
The Services are not intended for users under the age of legal majority. We will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are under the age of legal majority, 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 deny and block that user's access to our Services, and we may delete all data we have stored about that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided information to us, please contact us as explained below.
Category: User collects data from minors
Children can use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. The collection of some information (including information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may occur automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not condition a child's participation in any online activity on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We will use the information we collect only in connection with the services the child has requested.
We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about their child's activities on the Services. Parents may review data we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further data from their child, and request that we delete any data we have collected from our records.
Please contact us to access, update, or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask you for proof of identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe your identity is in question. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.
