What data do we collect?

Below is an overview of the data we may collect:

Non-identified and non-identifiable information that you provide during the registration process or that is collected through the use of our services ("non-personal data"). Non-Personal Information does not identify who it was collected from. Non-Personal Information that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregate usage information.
Individually identifiable information, which is any information that can be used to identify you or could be used to identify you with reasonable effort ("personal data"). Personally identifiable 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 data with non-personal data, as long as it is in combination, we will treat it as personal data.

How do we collect data?
Below are the main methods we use to collect data:
We collect data when you use our services. So when you use our digital services, we may collect, record and store usage, sessions and related information.
We collect data that you provide to us yourself, for example when you contact us directly through a communication channel (e.g. using the contact form on this website).
We may collect data from third party sources as described below.
We collect data that you provide to us when you sign up to our services through a third party provider such as Facebook or Google.

Who do we share this data with?
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 in the following circumstances:
(i) to investigate, detect, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities or other misconduct;

We will not share your email address or other personal information with advertisers or advertising networks without your consent.

Where do we store the data?

Non-personal data
Please note that our companies and 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 the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and to the extent necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or required by law (as further explained below) in other jurisdictions.

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

We may correct, amend or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our sole 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 via 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 set strong passwords and, where possible, do not provide us or others with confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. In addition, as email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not disclose confidential information through either of these communication channels.

How do we deal with minors?
The Services are not intended for users who are under the legal age of majority. We will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are under the age of majority, you should not download or use the Services or provide any information to us.

We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time so that we can verify whether minors are using our Services. In the event that we become aware that a minor is using our Services, we may prohibit such users from accessing our Services and block them, and we may delete any information we hold about that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has disclosed data to us, please contact us as explained below.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only if 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 themselves or customer care 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 way that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).

As an EU resident, you may:

request confirmation as to whether or not personal data relating to you is being processed and request access to your personal data held and certain additional information;
obtain the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
request the correction of your personal data that we have stored;
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
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

However, please note that these rights are not unlimited and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have any general questions about the personal data 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 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 there is an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate 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 at all times in accordance with applicable laws.
