What data do we collect?

Below is an overview of the data we may collect:

Non-personal data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about who collected it. Non-personal information that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregated usage information.

The 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 data with non-personal data, it will be treated by us as personal data as long as it exists in combination.

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

  • We may collect information from third-party sources as described below.

  • We collect information that you provide to us when you sign up for our Services through a third-party service provider such as Facebook or Google.

We would like to point out that any content or data you provide in these areas may be read, collected and used by other persons. We do not recommend posting or sharing information with others that you do not want to make public. If you upload content to our digital assets or otherwise make it available as part of your use of a service, you do so at your own risk.

These tracking technologies may allow third parties to automatically collect your data in order to improve the browsing experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance and ensure a tailored user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.

Advertising services

​

We may provide advertisements through our Services and our digital assets (including websites and applications that use our Services) that may also be tailored to you, such as ads based on your recent browsing behavior on websites, devices, or browsers.

 

In order to deliver these advertisements to you, we may use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including clear GIFs) and/or HTML5 local storage and/or other technologies. We may also use third parties, such as network advertisers (i.e., third parties who display advertisements based on your website visits) to serve targeted ads. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or website traffic measurement services may also use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including clear GIFs) and/or Flash cookies and/or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and tailor advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by the specific privacy policy of the relevant third party and not this one.
 

Where do we store the data?

Non-personal data

 

Please note that our companies, as well as our trusted partners and service providers, are located all over the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process any non-personal information 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 required for the proper provision of our Services and/or as required by law (as further explained below) in other jurisdictions.

​

How long will the data be retained?

Please note that we will 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 may 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 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 any data you upload, post or otherwise disclose to us or others.

For this reason, we would like to ask you to set strong passwords and, if possible, not to transmit confidential information to us or others, the disclosure of which you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm. In addition, since email and instant messaging are not considered 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?

Children can use our services. However, if they want access to certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. The collection of some data (including data collected via cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies) may be automatic. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not make a child's participation in an online activity conditional on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably required to participate in that activity. We only use the information we collect in connection with the services the child has requested.

 

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities on the Services. Parents may review information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting any further information about their child, and request that any information we collect be deleted from our records.

 

Please contact us to view, update or delete your child's information. To protect your child, we may ask you to provide proof of your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe that your identity is questionable. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.

​

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 (e.g. 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 information 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 privacy rights).
     

As an EU resident, you can:

 

  • request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your stored personal data as well as certain additional information;

  • request the receipt of personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;

  • request the rectification of your personal data stored by 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, or

  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

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 a resident of the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection of personal data exists. 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 so that the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal information is minimized and that these third parties act at all times in accordance with applicable laws.
