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 do we protect the data?

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with an online platform through which we can offer you our services. Your data can be stored via 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.

All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the regulations of the PCI-DSS (data security standard of the credit card industry) of the PCI Security Standards Council. This is a collaboration between brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help to ensure the secure handling of credit card data (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) by our shop and the service providers.

Regardless of the measures and efforts are taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and will not guarantee the absolute protection and absolute security of the data that you upload, publish or otherwise pass on to us or others.

For this reason, we would like to ask you to set secure passwords and, if possible, not to provide us or others with confidential information, the disclosure of which, in your opinion, could cause you significant or lasting damage. Since e-mail and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask you not to pass on any confidential information via one of these communication channels.

How do we deal with minors?

The services are not intended for users who have not yet reached the legal age of majority. 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. In the event that we become aware that a minor is using our services, we can prohibit these users from accessing our services and block them, and we can delete all of the data we have stored about this user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has passed on 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 conclude a contract (e.g. to provide you with the services yourself or to provide customer service or technical support);
• the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, or
• the use of your personal data is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that this is done at all times in a manner that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).
