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

Category: User accepts payments/e-commerce

All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) 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.

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 provide to us or others.

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and not transmit confidential information to us or others via email or instant messaging whenever possible. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask you not to disclose confidential information through 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 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 case we become aware that a minor is using our services, we may prohibit these users from accessing our services, block them, and delete any data we have stored about them.

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 the consent of the parents in accordance with applicable law. We do not make a child's participation in an online activity contingent 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 the child has requested.

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate about the child's activities in the services. Parents may review 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 child.

Please contact us to view, update, or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask for 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.

The use of your personal data is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that this is done at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).
