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 allow third parties to automatically collect your data to enhance the navigation experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, ensure a tailored user experience, and for security and fraud prevention purposes.

To learn more, please read our Cookie Policy.

We may provide advertising through our services and digital assets (including websites and applications using our services) that may be tailored to you, such as ads based on your recent browsing behavior on websites, devices, or browsers.

To provide these ads 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 displaying ads based on your website visits), to place targeted ads.

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

How long will the data be retained?

Please note that we retain the data collected 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 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 it provides secure HTTPS access to most areas of its 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) requirements of the PCI Security Standards Council. This involves collaboration among brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure secure handling of credit card information (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) by our shop and service providers.

Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets, we cannot and will not guarantee absolute protection and absolute security of the data you upload, post, or otherwise provide to us or others.

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and refrain from transmitting confidential information to us or others, the disclosure of which you believe could cause you significant or persistent harm. Also, since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask you not to disclose confidential information via any of these communication channels.

How do we handle minors?

Children may use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may need to provide certain information. The collection of some data (including data collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may occur automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data collected from a child, we will inform and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not make a child's participation in an online activity dependent on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary for participation in that activity. We use the data collected by us 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 data we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further data from their child, and request that all data collected by us be deleted 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 your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we question your identity. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.

We use your personal data only for the purposes set out in the privacy policy and only if we are convinced that:

the use of your personal data is necessary to fulfill or conclude 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 at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).

As an EU resident, you can:

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

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