What information do we collect?​
Below is an overview of the information we may collect:
Unidentified and non-identifiable information that you provide during the registration process or that is collected through use of our Services (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information does not allow for any conclusions to be drawn about who collected it. Non-Personal Information that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregated usage information.
Individually identifiable information, i.e. anything that can identify you or could reasonably be identified (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information we 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 Information with Non-Personal Information, we treat it as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

Where do we store your information?​
Non-Personal Information
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 all non-personal information we collect in different jurisdictions.
​
Personal Data
Personal Data may be maintained, processed and stored in 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 tobe stored.
​
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 your data?
The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can provide our services to you. 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 it provides secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.
Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, post, or otherwise share with us or others.
For this reason, we ask that you use strong passwords and that you avoid sending us or others any sensitive 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 share sensitive information through any of these communication channels.
​
How do we treat minors?
Children can use our Services, but if they request access to certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. Some information (including information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may be collected automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent 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 to participate in that activity. We will use the information 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 on the Services. Parents may view information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further information from your child, and request that all information we have collected be deleted from our records.
Please contact us to view, update, or delete your child's information. To protect your child, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity. We may deny you access to the information if we believe your identity is in question. Please note that certain information cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.
​
We will only use your personal information for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only if we are satisfied that:
the use of your personal information is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (for example, to provide you with the Services 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 this is done at all times 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 is being processed and request access to your personal data held by us, as well as certain additional information;
request to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
request the rectification of your personal data held by us;
request the erasure of your personal data;
object to our processing of your personal data;
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, data and its use, 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 worldwide. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or equivalent level of personal data protection 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 so that the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal data is minimised and that such third parties act in accordance with applicable laws at all times.
