​

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 to you. Your data may be stored through our hosting provider's data storage, databases, and general applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offer secure HTTPS access to most areas of their services. ​

Regardless of 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, publish, or otherwise share with us or others. For this reason, we kindly ask you to set secure passwords and, whenever possible, refrain from sending us or others confidential information whose disclosure you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not share confidential information through any of these communication channels. ​ We only use your personal data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and only when we are convinced 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 care/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 this is always done in a manner that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights). As an EU resident, you may:

request confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed, and request access to your stored personal data as well as certain supplementary information; request to receive personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format; request the rectification of your personal data stored with us; request the erasure of your personal data; object to the processing of your personal data by us; request the restriction of 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 it is used, please contact us as indicated below. In the course of providing the services, we may transfer data cross-border to affiliated companies 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 a resident of the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to guarantee that appropriate safeguards are met, so that the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your personal data is minimized, and that these third parties act in accordance with applicable laws at all times.
