Category: User accepts payments/eCommerce All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the requirements of the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) of the PCI Security Standards Council. This involves collaboration among brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Category: Always 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, post, or otherwise provide to us or others.

For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and refrain from transmitting confidential information to us or others whenever possible, the disclosure of which you believe could cause significant or 

sustained damage. As 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.

We will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are not yet 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 these users from accessing our services, block them, and may delete all data stored about these users. If you have reason to believe that a minor has provided data to us, please contact us as described below.

If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data collected from a child, we will notify and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We will not require a child's participation in an online activity to disclose more contact information than is reasonably necessary for participation in that activity. We will only use the data we collect about the child 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 may view data we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further data from their child, and request that all data we have collected about their child be deleted.

Please contact us to access, 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 cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.

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 the corresponding 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).
