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 data we collect in different jurisdictions.
Personal Data
Personal Data may be maintained, processed and stored in Germany, the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and as necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or as required by law (as further explained below) in other jurisdictions.
How long is the data retained?
Please note that we retain the data 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, amend, or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our sole discretion.
How do we protect data?
The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform that enables us to provide our services to you. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider's data storage, databases, and general applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall, and they provide secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services.
All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets adhere to the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) regulations of the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaboration of 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 service providers.
Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of any information you upload, post or otherwise transmit to us or others.
For this reason, we ask that you use strong passwords and, if possible, avoid sending us or others any confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. Additionally, because email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not send any confidential information through any of these communication channels.
How do we deal with minors?
The Services are not intended for users under the age of legal majority. We will not knowingly collect information from children. If you are under the age of 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 so that we can verify that minors are using our Services. In the event that we become aware that a minor is using our Services, we may prohibit and block that user from accessing our Services, and we may delete any information we have about that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided information to us, please contact us as explained below.
Personal data
We will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only where we are satisfied that:
• the use of your personal data is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (for example, to provide you with the services or goods themselves or customer 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 at all times this is done in a manner that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).
As an EU resident, you can:
• request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed and request access to your stored personal data and certain additional information;
• request to receive personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format;
• request the rectification of your personal data stored by us;
• request the erasure 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
• lodge a complaint with 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 general questions about the personal information we collect and how we use it, please contact us as set out below.
In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders to affiliates or other third parties and from your country/jurisdiction to other countries/jurisdictions around the world. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA, your personal information will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or equivalent level of protection of personal information exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have appropriate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to minimise the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal information and that such third parties act in accordance with applicable laws at all times.
Updates or changes to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion, and the version posted on the website will always be the most current (see "Status"). We ask that you check this Privacy Policy regularly for changes. If there are any material changes, we will post a notice on our website. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted notice of changes on our website, this will be deemed your acknowledgement and consent to the changes to the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by the terms of those changes.
