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 explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process any non-personal information we collect in different jurisdictions.

 

Personal Data

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

How long is the data retained?

 

Please note that we retain the data we collect 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, amend or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our sole discretion.

How do we protect the data?

 

The hosting service for our website provides us with the online platform through which we can provide our Services to you. 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 they provide secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services.

All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets adhere to the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) regulations of the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaboration of brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that our store and service providers handle credit card information securely (including physical, electronic and procedural measures).

 

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

 

For this reason, we ask that you use strong passwords and, if possible, avoid sending us or others any confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. Because email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not share any confidential information through any of these communication channels.

 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only if we are confident that:

 

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (for example, to provide you with the Services themselves or customer or technical support);

  • 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 manner that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights).

 

As an EU resident, you can:

 

  • request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed and request access to your personal data held about you, as well as certain additional information;

  • request to receive 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 the erasure of your personal data;

  • object to our processing of your personal data;

  • request the 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 set out below.

In the course of providing the Site, 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 Site, 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 satisfied that an adequate or equivalent level of protection of personal data exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have appropriate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to minimize the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal information and that such third parties act in compliance with applicable law at all times.
