Unidentified and non-identifiable information that you provide during the registration process or that is collected through the use of our Services ("Non-Personally Identifiable Information"). Non-personal information does not identify who collected it. Non-Personally Identifiable Information that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregate usage information.
Individually identifiable information, i. H. any information that can be used to identify you or that could reasonably be used to identify you (“Personal Data”). 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. If we combine personal information with non-personal information, we treat it as personal information for as long as it is combined.

We collect data when you use our services. Therefore, when you visit our digital assets and use the Services, we may collect, record, and store usage, sessions, and related information.

Who do we share this data with?

Please note that our Services enable social interactions (e.g. posting content, information and comments publicly and chatting with other users). Please note that any content or data you provide in these areas may be read, collected and used by others. We do not recommend posting or sharing information that you do not wish to make public. If you upload content to our digital assets or otherwise make it available as part of using any service, you do so at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public with access to your data or content. You acknowledge and hereby acknowledge that copies of your data may remain accessible even after they have been deleted from cached and archived pages or after a third party has made/stored a copy of your content.

Where do we store the data?
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Please note that our companies and 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 that we collect in different jurisdictions.
Personal Data
Personal information 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 as required by law (as further explained below), other jurisdictions.
How long is the data stored?
Please note that we retain the information 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 can correct, supplement or delete incorrect or incomplete data at any time at our own 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 through our hosting provider's data stores, databases and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and 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 the absolute privacy and security of any information you upload, post or otherwise share with us or others.
For this reason, we ask that you establish secure passwords and, whenever possible, do not provide us or others with any confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. In addition, since email and instant messaging are not secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not share confidential information through any of these communication channels.
How do we deal with minors?
The Services are not intended for users who are under legal age. 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 any information to us.
We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time so that we can verify that minors are using our Services. If we discover that a minor is using our Services, we may prohibit those users from accessing our Services and block them, and we may delete any information we have about that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has disclosed information to us, please contact us as set out below. We will only use your personal information for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only where we are satisfied that:
-
The use of your personal information is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (e.g. to provide you with the Services themselves or for customer or technical support);
-
the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation; or
-
The use of your personal information is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that we do so at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).

-
request rectification of your personal data held by us;
-
request the deletion of your personal data
-

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 information outside of the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data is in place. 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 minimize the risk of unlawful use, alteration, destruction, loss or theft of your personal information and that these third parties act at all times in accordance with applicable laws.
We do not sell users' personally identifiable information for the intent and purposes of the CCPA.

All requests must include a description of the content you want removed and information reasonably sufficient to help us locate the material. We do not accept notifications that are not flagged or properly submitted, and we may not be able to respond if you do not provide enough information. Please note that your request does not ensure that the material will be deleted in whole or in its entirety. For example, material posted by you may be republished or reposted by other users or third parties.
