What Data Do We Collect?

Below is an overview of the data we may collect:

Non-identifiable and non-identifiable information, which you provide during the registration process or that is collected through the use of our Services ("non-personal data"). Non-personal data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the person from whom it was collected. Non-personal data that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregated usage information.
Individually identifiable information, i.e., any information that can identify you or could be identified with reasonable effort ("personal data"). Personal data we collect through our Services may include information such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more. If we combine personal data with non-personal data, as long as they are combined, we treat them as personal data.

With Whom Do We Share This Data?

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

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

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 enhance your navigation experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, and provide you with a tailored user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.

The User Is Connected to an Advertising Service, Campaign Manager, or Facebook Ads

We may provide advertisements through our services and 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 behavior across websites, devices, or browsers.

To provide you with these ads, 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 advertisements based on your website visits) to deliver targeted advertisements. External providers of advertising 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 advertisements and tailor advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are subject to the specific privacy policy of the third-party provider and not this one.

Where Do We Store the Data?

Non-personal data

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

Personal data

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

How Long Do We Retain the Data?

Please note that we will retain the data we collect for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may correct, complete, or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time and at our own 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 you our services. 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 offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

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

For this reason, we encourage you to set strong passwords and avoid transmitting sensitive information to us or others that, if disclosed, could significantly or permanently harm you. Since email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communication channels, we also ask you not to share confidential information via any of these communication channels.

How Do We Handle Minors?

Collecting data from minors

Children may use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may need to provide certain information. Some data collection (including data collected via cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may occur automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data from a child, we will notify and obtain consent from a parent in accordance with applicable law. We do not require a child to provide more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity. We use the data we collect only in connection with the services requested by the child.

We may also use a parent’s contact information to communicate about the child’s activities in the services. Parents can view the data we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further data from their child, and request that all data we have collected be deleted from our records.

Please contact us to view, update, or delete your child’s data. To protect your child, we may require proof of your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe your identity is in question. Please note that certain data may not be deleted due to other legal obligations.

Updates or Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy at our discretion from time to time, and the version published on the website is always current (see "Last Updated"). We ask you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for changes. If significant changes are made, we will post a notice on our website. If you continue to use the services after the notice of changes, it will be deemed that you have accepted the changes and agree to be bound by the revised terms of this Privacy Policy.
