Individually identifiable information, i.e., any information that can be used to identify you or could be used to identify you with reasonable effort (“personal data”). The 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 treat it as personal data for as long as it remains combined.

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. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and provides secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.
Category: User accepts payments/eCom
​
All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) regulations of the PCI Security Standards Council (Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council). This is a collaboration between 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 store and service providers.

Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, publish, or otherwise share with us or others.
For this reason, we ask that you set secure passwords and, where possible, refrain from sharing confidential information with us or others that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you refrain from sharing confidential information via these channels.

How do we deal with minors?
Category: User collects data from minors
​
Children can use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may be required to provide certain information. Some data (including data collected via cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may be collected automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data collected from a child, we will notify the child's parents in accordance with applicable law and obtain their consent. We do not require a child to provide more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an online activity. We use the information we collect only 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 on the services. Parents can view the information we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further information about their child, and request that all information we have collected be deleted from our records.
Please contact us to view, update, or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask you to provide 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 support our legitimate business interests (provided that this is always done in a manner that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights).
