Introduction
We ("we", "us", "our") take the protection of data belonging to users ("users" or "you") of our website and/or mobile app (the "website" or "mobile app") very seriously and are committed to protecting the information that users provide to us in connection with the use of our website and/or mobile app (together: "digital assets"). We are further committed to protecting and using your data in accordance with applicable law.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your data through the use of our digital assets (the "services") when you access the services via your devices.
Please read the Privacy Policy carefully and make sure you fully understand our practices regarding your data before using our services. If you have read and fully understood this policy and do not agree with our practices, you must stop using our digital assets and services.

Below is an overview of the data we may collect:
Non-identified and non-identifiable information that you provide during the registration process or that is collected through the use of our services ("non-personal data"). Non-personal data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about who it was collected from. The non-personal data we collect consists mainly of technical and aggregated usage information.
Individually identifiable information, i.e. all information by which you can be identified or could reasonably be identified ("personal data"). Personal data 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. When we combine personal data with non-personal data, we will treat the combined data as personal data for as long as it remains combined.
Who do we share this data with?
We may share your data with our service providers to operate our services (e.g. storing data via third-party hosting services, providing technical support, etc.).
We may also disclose your data under the following circumstances:
(i) to investigate, detect, prevent or take action against unlawful activities or other misconduct; (ii) to establish or exercise our rights of defence; (iii) to protect our rights, property or personal safety, as well as the safety of our users or the public; (iv) in the event of a change of control of us or any of our affiliates (by way of merger, acquisition or purchase of (substantially) all assets, among other things); (v) to collect, retain and/or manage your data through authorised third-party providers (e.g. cloud service providers), to the extent appropriate for business purposes; (vi) to collaborate with third parties on improving your user experience. For the avoidance of doubt, we may transfer, share or otherwise use non-personal data at our discretion.
We may serve advertising through our services and 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 behaviour on websites, devices or browsers.
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 that 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 to personalise advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are subject to 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 around the world. For the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we store and process all non-personal data we collect across various jurisdictions.
Personal data:
Personal data may be maintained, processed and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and, to the extent necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or as required by law (as further described below), in other jurisdictions.
How long is the data retained?
Please note that we retain the data collected for as long as necessary to provide our services, to comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements. We may correct, supplement or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our 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 you our services. Your data may be stored via our hosting provider's data storage, databases and general applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall and provide secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services.
Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and will not guarantee absolute protection and security of data that you upload, publish or otherwise share with us or others.
For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and, where possible, not to share with us or others any confidential information whose disclosure you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm. We also ask that you do not share confidential information via email or instant messaging, as these are not considered secure forms of communication.
How do we handle minors?
The services are not intended for users who have not yet reached the legal age of majority. We will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are under the age of majority, you should not download or use the services or provide us with any information.
We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time so that we can 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 such users from accessing our services, and we may delete any data we hold about that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has shared data with us, please contact us as described below.
We only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only when 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 support or technical assistance);
-
the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with applicable 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 manner that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).
As an EU resident, you may:
-
request confirmation of 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 receipt of personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
-
request rectification of your personal data held by us;
-
request deletion of your personal data;
-
object to the processing of your personal data by us;
-
request restriction of the processing of your personal data; or
-
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Please note, however, that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal data we collect and how we use it, please contact us as indicated below.
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 resident in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA where 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 adequate 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 data is minimised and that these third parties act at all times in accordance with applicable laws.
Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act
If you use the services as a California resident, you may be entitled under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") to request access to and deletion of your data.
To exercise your right to access and deletion of your data, please see below for how to contact us.
We do not sell users' personal data for the purposes and intents of the CCPA.
Updates or Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time at our discretion; the version published on the website is always current (see "Last Updated" date). We ask that you review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. In the event of material changes, we will post a notice on our website. If you continue to use the services after being notified of changes on our website, this constitutes your acknowledgement and consent to the changes to the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by the terms of those changes.
