Personal data that 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. If we combine personal data with non-personal data, we will treat the combined data as personal data as long as they remain linked.

For clarity, we emphasize that we may share or transfer non-personal data at our discretion with third parties or use it in other ways.

Blog

Please note that our services enable social interactions (e.g., posting content, information, and comments publicly and chatting with other users). We would like to remind you that any content or data you share in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others. We advise against posting or sharing information that you do not wish to make public. If you upload content to our digital assets or otherwise provide it while using a service, you do so at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public who may access your data or content. You acknowledge and confirm that copies of your data may remain accessible even after deletion, either through cached and archived pages or if third parties have copied or stored your content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies When you visit or access our services, we authorize third parties to deploy web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, and other technologies and analytics services ("tracking technologies"). These tracking technologies may enable third parties to automatically collect your data in order to improve navigation on our digital assets, optimize performance, and ensure a personalized user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.

To learn more, please read our Cookie Policy.

The Website Does Not Sell User Data We do not sell users' personal data for the purposes and intents of the CCPA.

Where Do We Store the Data? Non-Personal Data Please note that our company, as well as our trusted partners and service providers, are located worldwide. For the purposes described in this privacy policy, we store and process all non-personal data we collect in various jurisdictions.

Personal Data Personal data may be maintained, processed, and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and other jurisdictions as required for the proper provision of our services and/or as legally mandated (as further described below).

How long is data retained?

Please note that we retain the collected data 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, supplement, or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at our sole discretion at any time.

How do we protect the data? The hosting service for our digital assets provides the online platform through which we offer our services. Your data may be stored through the hosting provider's data storage, databases, and general applications. It is stored on secure servers behind a firewall, and the provider offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection or security of the data you upload, publish, or otherwise share with us or others. For this reason, we encourage you to set secure passwords and, when possible, avoid sharing confidential information with us or others that you believe could cause significant or lasting harm if disclosed. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure communication channels, we also urge you not to share confidential information through either of these means.

How do we handle minors? The services are not intended for users who have not yet reached the legal age of majority. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you are underage, you should not download or use the services or provide us with any information.

We reserve the right to request age verification at any time to ensure that minors are not using our services. If we become aware that a minor is using our services, we may prohibit and block their access, as well as delete any data stored about them. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided us with data, please contact us as explained below.

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 you with the services themselves or customer support/technical assistance);
The use of your personal data is necessary to comply with applicable 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 proportionate manner and respects your privacy rights).

As an EU resident, you have the right to:

Request confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is being processed and access your stored personal data as well as specific additional 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 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.
File 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 data we collect and how it is used, please contact us as indicated below.

In the course of providing our 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 agree to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.

If you are based in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we believe that there is an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have proper contractual agreements with our third parties to ensure necessary security measures are in place, minimizing the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data, and ensuring that these third parties always act in compliance with applicable laws.

Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies—text files stored on your computer—to analyze website usage. The information generated by these cookies is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will first shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatories of the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then shortened.

On behalf of the website operator, Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings. However, please note that disabling cookies may limit website functionality. Additionally, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data related to your website usage (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Further Information on Terms of Use and Privacy More details about usage terms and privacy can be found under the Google Analytics terms or the Google Analytics overview. We inform you that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code "gat._anonymizeIp();", ensuring the anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
