What data do we collect?

Personal data we may 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 and non-personal data, they are treated as personal data as long as they are in combination.

​

​

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

​

To whom do we disclose this data?

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

We may also disclose your data under the following circumstances: (i) to investigate, detect, prevent, or address unlawful activities or 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 (through a merger, acquisition, or purchase of substantially all assets, etc.); (v) to collect, maintain, and/or manage your data through authorized third-party providers (e.g., cloud service providers) as reasonably necessary for business purposes; (vi) to collaborate with third parties to improve your user experience. To avoid misunderstandings, we want to clarify that we may transmit or otherwise use non-personal data at our discretion for third-party purposes.

​

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 navigation 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 that use our Services) that may be tailored to you based on your recent browsing behavior on websites, devices, or browsers.

​

To provide these ads, 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 employ third parties, such as network advertisers (i.e., third parties displaying ads based on your website visits), to deliver targeted ads. External providers of ad networks, advertisers, sponsors, and/or website traffic measurement services may also use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including transparent GIFs) and/or Flash cookies and/or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and customize advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are subject to the specific privacy policy of the respective third party, not this one.

​

Where do we store the data?

Non-personal data:

Please note that our businesses, 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.

​

How long will the data be retained?

Please note that we retain collected data as long as necessary for the provision of our services, to comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

​

We may correct, supplement, or delete incorrect or incomplete data at our discretion.

​

How do we protect the data?

The hosting service for our digital assets provides the online platform through which we can offer you our services. Your data may be stored on secure servers behind a firewall, and secure HTTPS access is provided to most areas of its services.

Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and will not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, publish, 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 through email and instant messaging, as they are not considered secure communication channels.

​

How do we deal with minors?

Children can use our services. However, if they want access to 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 notify and obtain the consent of the parents in accordance with applicable law. A child's participation in an online activity is not conditioned on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary for participating in that activity. We use the data we collect from a child 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 us from collecting further data from their child, and request the deletion of all data we have collected from our records.

​

Please contact us to view, update, or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may request proof of your identity. We may deny you 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 use your personal data only for the purposes set out in the privacy policy and only when we are convinced that:

​

• The use of your personal data is necessary to fulfill or enter into a contract (e.g., to provide 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 of whether personal data concerning you is being processed, and access your stored personal data and certain additional information.

• Request the receipt of personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

• Request the correction of your personal data stored with 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 unrestricted and may be subject to our legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal data we collect and how it is used, please contact us as indicated below.

As part of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders to affiliated companies or other third parties and 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 a resident of the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are convinced that an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate contractual arrangements with our third parties to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken to minimize the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data, and that these third parties at all times act in accordance with applicable laws.

​
