​

How do we protect the data?

The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can offer

 our Services. Your data may be stored on secure servers behind a firewall, and secure HTTPS access is provided to most areas of its services.

​

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

​

Despite 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, publish, or otherwise provide to us or others.

​

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and refrain from transmitting confidential information through email and instant messaging channels, as they are not considered secure forms of communication.

​

We use your personal data only for the purposes specified in this privacy policy and only if we are convinced that:

The use of your personal data is necessary to fulfill or enter into a contract (e.g., to provide you with the Services themselves or customer support or technical support).

The use of your personal data is necessary to comply with relevant legal or regulatory obligations.

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

​

Request confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is being processed and access to your stored personal data and certain additional information.

Request the receipt of personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders to affiliated companies or other third parties, from your country/jurisdiction to other countries/jurisdictions worldwide. By using the Services, you agree to the transfer of your data outside the EEA.

​

If you are a resident of the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are convinced that there is an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate contractual agreements with our third parties to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken, minimizing the risk of unauthorized use, modification, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data, and that these third parties always act in accordance with applicable laws.

​
