To provide these ads to

you, we may use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including transparent GIFs) and/or HTML5 Local Storage and/or other technologies. We may also employ third parties, such as network advertisers (i.e., third parties displaying ads based on your website visits), to deliver targeted ads. External providers of ad networks, advertisers, sponsors, and/or website traffic measurement services may also use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including transparent GIFs) and/or Flash cookies and/or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and customize advertising content for you.

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 different jurisdictions.

*Category: User Provides Personal Data*

Personal Data

Personal data may be maintained, processed, and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and other jurisdictions worldwide as necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or as required by law (as further explained below).

**How Long Will the Data Be Retained?**

*Category: Always*

Please note that we retain the data collected 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 discretion.

**How Do We Protect the Data?**

*Category: Always*

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can offer you our services. Your data may be stored on secure servers behind a firewall, and the hosting provider offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

*Category: User Accepts Payments/eCom*

All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) of the PCI Security Standards Council. This involves collaboration between brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card data (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) by our shop and service providers.

*Category: Always*

Regardless of the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and will not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, post, or otherwise share with us or others.

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and avoid transmitting confidential information to us or others whenever possible. As email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask you not to transmit confidential information via these communication channels.

**How Do We Handle Minors?**

*Category: User Does Not Collect Data from Minors*

The services are not intended for users who have not reached the legal age of majority. We will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are not yet of legal age, you should not download or use the services and should not provide us with any information.

We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time to verify whether minors are using our services. In the event that we become aware of a minor using our services, we may prohibit these users from accessing our services, block them, and we may delete all data stored about these users. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided us with data, please contact us as explained below.

*Category: User Collects Data from Minors*

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

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities in the services. Parents can view data we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further data from their child, and request the deletion of all data we have collected from their records.

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

*Category: Always*

- 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 way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).

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 located in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are convinced that there is an adequate or equivalent level of protection for personal data. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate contractual arrangements with our third parties to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken, minimizing the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data, and that these third parties always act in accordance with applicable laws.
