Which 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 data does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the individual from whom it was collected. The non-personal data we collect consists mainly of technical and aggregated usage information.

• Individually identifiable information, i.e., any information by which you can be identified or could reasonably be identified (“personal data”). The personal data we collect through our services may include information requested from time to time, such as names, email addresses, addresses, telephone numbers, IP addresses, and more. If we combine personal data with non-personal data, such combined data will be treated as personal data for as long as it remains combined.

How do we collect data?

​

Below are the main methods we use to collect data:

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

• We collect data that you voluntarily provide to us, for example when you contact us directly via a communication channel (e.g., an email containing 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 sign in to our services via a third-party provider such as Facebook or Google.

Why do we collect this data?

​

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, inquiries, and requests and to provide support;

• to analyze request and usage patterns;

• for other internal, statistical, and research purposes;

• to improve our data security and fraud prevention capabilities;

• to investigate violations and enforce our terms and policies, and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or governmental orders;

• to send you updates, news, promotional materials, and other information related to our services. For promotional emails, you may decide whether you wish to continue receiving them. If not, simply click the unsubscribe link in those emails.

To whom do we disclose this data?

​

We may share your data with our service providers in order to operate our services (e.g., data storage via third-party hosting services, provision of technical support, etc.).

We may also disclose your data under the following circumstances:
(i) to investigate, detect, prevent, or take action against illegal activities or other wrongdoing;
(ii) to establish or exercise our rights of defense;
(iii) to protect our rights, property, or personal safety and the safety of our users or the public;
(iv) in the event of a change of control of us or any of our affiliated companies (through merger, acquisition, or purchase of (substantially) all assets, etc.);
(v) to collect, hold, and/or manage your data through authorized third-party providers (e.g., cloud service providers), as reasonably required for business purposes;
(vi) to work with third parties to improve your user experience.

For the avoidance of doubt, we may transfer or otherwise use non-personal data at our discretion. Without your consent, we will not share your email address or other personal data with advertising companies or advertising networks.

Where is the data stored?

Non-personal data

Please note that our companies, as well as our trusted partners and service providers, are located worldwide. For the purposes explained 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, where necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or required by law (as further explained below), in other jurisdictions.

How long is the data retained?

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

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

How do we protect the data?

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we offer our services. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider’s data storage, databases, and general applications. The hosting provider 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 absolute protection or security of the data you upload, publish, or otherwise share with us or others.

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and, where possible, not to provide us or others with confidential information whose disclosure could cause you significant or lasting harm. As email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not share confidential information via these channels.

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 not of legal age, you should not download or use the services or provide us with any information.

We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time in order to verify whether minors are using our services. If we become aware that a minor is using our services, we may deny and block such users’ access to our services and delete all data we have stored about that user. If you believe that a minor has provided data to us, please contact us as described below.

We use your personal data only for the purposes set out in this privacy policy and only if we are satisfied that:

• the use of your personal data is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (e.g., to provide you with the services themselves or 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 proportionate manner and respects your data protection rights.

Rights of EU residents

As an EU resident, you may:

• request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your stored personal data and certain additional information;

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 the 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 consent to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.

If you are resident in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA where we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have suitable contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, minimizing the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data, and ensuring that such third parties act at all times in compliance with applicable laws.

Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you use the services as a resident of California, you may be entitled under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) to request access to and deletion of your data.
