​

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 our services to you. Your data may be stored on the data storage, databases, and general applications of our hosting provider. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offer secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services.
Category: User accepts payments/eCommerce
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 of 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. Category: Always
Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and will not guarantee absolute protection and absolute 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, if possible, refrain from transmitting confidential information to us or others that, in your opinion, could cause significant or sustained harm upon disclosure. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask you not to disclose confidential information via any of 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 the event that we become aware that a minor is using our services, we may prohibit and block access to our services for such users, and we may delete all data stored about such users. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided data to us, please contact us as explained below.

Category: User collects data from minors Children may 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. A child's participation in an online activity will not be conditioned on the child providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary for participation in that activity. We use the data we collect 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 our 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 may not be deletable due to other legal obligations.

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