What data do we collect?

Below is an overview of the data we may collect:

1. Non-identified and non-identifiable information that 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 for conclusions to be drawn about the person from whom it was collected. Non-personal data that we collect primarily consists of technical and aggregated usage information.

2. Individually identifiable information, i.e., information by which you can be identified or that could reasonably be used to identify you ("personal data"). The personal data we collect through our services may include information that is occasionally requested, such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more. When we combine personal data with non-personal data, as long as they are in combination, we treat them as personal data.

How do we collect data?

The main methods we use to collect data are as follows:

1. We collect data when you use our services. Therefore, when you visit our digital assets and use our services, we may collect, record, and store usage, session, and related information.

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

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

4. We collect data that you provide to us when you sign up for our services through a third-party provider such as Facebook or Google.

Why do we collect this data?

We may use your data for the following purposes:

- To provide and operate our services
- To develop, customize, and improve our services
- To respond to your feedback, inquiries, and requests and offer assistance
- To analyze request and usage patterns
- For other internal, statistical, and research purposes
- To enhance our data security and fraud prevention capabilities
- To investigate violations and enforce our terms and policies, as well as to comply with applicable law, regulations, or governmental orders
- To send you updates, news, promotional materials, and other information related to our services. Regarding promotional emails, you can choose whether to continue receiving them. If not, simply click the unsubscribe link in these emails.

To whom do we disclose 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 under the following circumstances: (i) to investigate, detect, prevent, or take action against 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 within our organization or one of our affiliated companies (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 collaborate with third parties in improving your user experience. To avoid misunderstandings, we want to point out that we may transmit, disclose, or otherwise use non-personal data at our discretion to third parties.

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 analysis services ("tracking technologies"). These tracking technologies may enable third parties to automatically collect your data to improve the navigation experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, ensure a customized user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.

Without your consent, we will not provide your email address or any other personal data to advertising companies or advertising networks.

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 worldwide. 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 can be maintained, processed, and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and other jurisdictions as required for the proper provision of our services and/or as legally prescribed (as further explained below).

How long will the data be retained?

Category: Always

Please note that we will retain the collected data 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 our 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 our services to you. Your data may be stored on secure servers behind a firewall and accessed via secure HTTPS in most areas of our hosting provider's services.

Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, publish, or otherwise transmit to us or others.

For this reason, we encourage you to set secure passwords and avoid transmitting confidential information to us or others via email or instant messaging, as these communication channels are not considered secure.

How do we handle minors?

Children can use our services. However, if they want access to certain features, they may need to provide certain information. Some data collection (including data collected through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies) may occur automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data collected from a child, we will notify and obtain consent from the parents in accordance with applicable law. We do not condition a child's participation in an online activity on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary for the activity. We use the data we collect only in connection with the services the child has requested.

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities in the services. Parents can view data we have collected from their child, prohibit further data collection from the child, and request the deletion of any data we have collected from their child.

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

We only use your personal data for the purposes set forth in the privacy policy and only when we believe:

The use of your personal data is necessary to fulfill or enter into a contract (e.g., to provide you with the services or customer support/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 this is always done in a manner that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights). As an EU resident, you have the right to:

Request confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is being processed and access your stored personal data as well as certain additional information; Request the receipt of the personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format; Request the correction of your personal data stored 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 Submit a complaint to 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 any general questions about the personal data we collect and its use, please contact us as indicated below.

In the course of providing the services, we may transfer data internationally to affiliated companies or other third parties 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 an EEA resident, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if 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 agreements with our third parties to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data, and that these third parties act in accordance with applicable laws.
