  • Please note that our Services facilitate social interactions (e.g., posting content, information, and comments publicly and chatting with other users). Any content or data you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others. We advise against sharing information you do not wish to make public. The upload or provision of content on our digital assets is done at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public with access to your data or content. You acknowledge and confirm that copies of your data may remain accessible even after deletion on cached and archived pages or after third parties create copies/stored your content.

Personal data may be maintained, processed, and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and other jurisdictions as required for the proper provision of our Services and/or by legal requirements, as further explained below.

  • Data Retention Period

  • We retain collected data 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 inaccurate or incomplete data at our discretion.

How We Protect Data

  • Our digital asset hosting service provides the online platform that allows us to offer our Services. Your data may be stored on secure servers behind a firewall, and secure HTTPS access is provided to most areas of our services.

  • 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, a collaboration among brands like 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.

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

  • For this reason, we recommend setting secure passwords and refraining from transmitting confidential information via email or instant messaging, as these are not considered secure communication channels.

If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided data to us, please contact us as explained below.
