This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your data through the use of our digital assets (the "Services") when you access the Services via your devices.

Please read the Privacy Policy carefully and ensure that you fully understand our practices regarding your data before using our Services. If you have read, fully understood, and do not agree with our practices, you must discontinue using our digital assets and services. By using our services, you acknowledge the terms of this Privacy Policy. Continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any amendments thereto.

Below is an overview of the types of data we may collect:

  • Unidentified and non-identifiable information provided during the registration process or collected through the use of our services ("non-personal data"). Non-personal data do not allow for the identification of the individual from whom they were collected. Non-personal data we collect primarily consists of technical and aggregated usage information.

  • Individually identifiable information, i.e., information that can identify you or could be used to identify you with reasonable effort ("personal data"). Personal data we collect through our services may include information such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more. If we combine personal data with non-personal data, we will treat the combined information as personal data as long as it remains combined.

Below are the main methods we use to collect data:

  • We collect data through your use of our services. When you visit and use our digital assets, we may collect, record, and store usage, session, and related information.

  • We collect data that you provide to us voluntarily, for example, when you contact us directly via a communication channel (such as an email with a comment or feedback).

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

  • We collect data that you provide to us when you log in to our services through a third-party service such as Facebook or Google.

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, requests, and inquiries 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 policies and terms, and to comply with applicable law, regulation, or government authority;

  • To send you updates, news, promotional materials, and other information related to our services. For promotional emails, you can choose whether you wish to continue receiving them by clicking the unsubscribe link in those emails.

We may share your data with our service providers to operate our services (e.g., storing data via third-party hosting services, providing technical support, etc.).

We may also disclose your data under the following circumstances: (i) to investigate, detect, prevent, or address illegal activities or misconduct; (ii) to establish or exercise our right to defend ourselves; (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 of our company or one of our affiliated companies (through merger, acquisition, or the purchase of essentially all assets, etc.); (v) to collect, store, and/or manage your data through authorized third-party service providers (e.g., cloud service providers) as appropriate for business purposes; (vi) to collaborate with third parties to enhance your user experience. To avoid misunderstandings, we clarify that we may transfer or share non-personal data with third parties at our discretion.

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

Please note that our company, 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 data we collect in various jurisdictions.

Please note that we retain the data we collect for as long as it is necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We may, at our discretion, correct, supplement, or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time.

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we offer our services to you. Your data may be stored through the data storage, databases, and general applications of our hosting provider. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

We only use your personal data for the purposes outlined in the Privacy Policy and only if 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 to offer customer support or technical assistance);

  • 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 always done in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).

As an EU resident, you may:

  • request confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is being processed or not, and request access to your stored personal data as well as certain supplementary information;

  • request to receive the personal data you have 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

  • file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Please note, however, that these rights are not unlimited and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal data we collect and how we use it, please contact us as indicated above.

To exercise your right to access and delete your data, please see below for how to contact us.

We may, at our discretion, revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The version published on the website is always current (see the "Last Updated" statement). We encourage you to regularly review this Privacy Policy for changes. In the event of significant changes, we will post a notice on our website. By continuing to use the services after being notified of changes to our website, you confirm your agreement to the changes in the Privacy Policy and your acceptance to be bound by the terms of these changes.
