II. The information we collect
Below are the different types of information we may collect.
- Non-identifying and non-identifiable information that you may provide during the registration process or that is collected when you use our Services (the “Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information does not allow us to identify the individual from whom it was collected. The Non-Personal Information we collect consists primarily of technical information and aggregated usage information.
- Information that identifies you individually, that is, information that identifies you or that, with reasonable effort, could identify you (the “Personal Information”). The Personal Information we collect through our Services includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, IP address, or other information requested as needed. If we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.

V. Who we share information with
We may share your information with our service providers in order to operate our Services (for example, by storing information on third-party hosting services, providing technical support, etc.)
We may also disclose your information in the following circumstances:

Please note that our Services allow you to participate in certain social activities, such as posting content, information, or comments, as well as following and chatting with other users. Please be aware that the content or information you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who have access to them. We advise against uploading to a server or sharing any information that you do not wish to make public. If you upload content to our Digital Properties or otherwise provide it in connection with your use of a Service, you do so at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public who may access your information and content. You understand and acknowledge that, even after you or we remove it, copies of your information may remain visible on archived or cached pages, or that a third party may have copied or stored such content.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
When you visit or access our Service, we allow certain third parties to use web beacons, cookies, web beacons, scripts, tags, and other analytics technologies and services (the “Tracking Technologies”). These Tracking Technologies may allow third parties to automatically collect information about you in order to improve your browsing experience on our Digital Properties, enhance the performance of our Digital Properties, and personalize your experience on our Digital Properties, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.
For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.
Through our Service and our Digital Properties (including websites and apps that host our Service), we may serve advertisements that may be tailored to you, such as ads based on your recent browsing behavior across different websites, browsers, or devices.
In order to provide you with these advertisements, we may use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including clear GIFs) and/or HTML5 local storage and/or other technologies. We may also use third parties, such as ad networks, which are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to websites, to present you with targeted advertisements. Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may also use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including clear GIFs) and/or Flash LSOs and/or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content for you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not by this one.
VI. Where is the information stored?
Non-personal information
Please note that our companies, as well as the partners and service providers we trust, are located around the world. All non-personal information we collect is stored and processed in various jurisdictions around the world for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information
Personal Information may be retained, processed, and stored in the United States, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, France, and other jurisdictions if necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or as required by law (as explained in more detail below).
VII. How long is the information retained?
Please note that we retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to provide the Services and to comply with our legal or contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
We may correct, supplement, or delete incomplete or inaccurate information at any time and at our sole discretion.
VIII. How We Protect Information
Our Digital Properties’ hosting service provides us with the online platform that enables us to offer you the Service. Your data may be stored using our hosting provider’s data storage applications, databases, or general storage systems. It stores your information on secure servers behind a firewall and provides secure HTTPS access to most of its services.
Regardless of the efforts we and our hosting provider make and the measures we take, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute protection and security of the information you upload, post, or otherwise share with us or anyone else.
We encourage you to set strong passwords and to avoid providing us or anyone else with sensitive information that you believe could cause you substantial or irreparable harm if disclosed. Furthermore, since emails and instant messages are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you—and encourage you—not to share sensitive information via these methods.
IX. Minors
The Services are not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are under the age of 18, you must not download or use the Services, or provide us with any information.
We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time to ensure that minors do not use our Services. If we learn that a person under the age of majority is using our Services, we may prohibit and block that user’s access to our Services, as well as delete all information stored with us regarding that user. If you have reason to believe that a minor has shared information with us, please contact us as indicated below.
We will use your personal information only for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, provided that:
- The use of your Personal Information is necessary to perform a contract or to take steps to enter into a contract with you (for example, to provide you with the Services or to provide you with our customer or technical support)
- We need to use your Personal Information to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation.
- We need to use your Personal Information for our legitimate business interests, provided that such use is always proportionate and respects your right to privacy.
If you live in the EU, you can:
- Request confirmation as to whether or not your Personal Information is being processed, and access the Personal Information we store about you, as well as certain additional information
- Request to receive the personal information that you voluntarily provide to us directly in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format
- Request the correction of your Personal Information that is under our control
- Request the deletion of your Personal Information
- Object to our processing of your personal data
- Request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Information
- File a complaint with a supervisory authority
However, please note that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to our legitimate interests or regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the Personal Information we collect and how we use it, please contact us as indicated below.
In connection with the provision of the Services to our users, we may transfer information to affiliated entities or other third parties outside your country or jurisdiction, to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your information outside the EEA.
If you are located in the EEA, your Personal Information may only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection is in place to safeguard the Personal Information. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that we have appropriate contractual agreements in place with our third parties to guarantee that adequate safeguards are in place so that the risks of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss, or theft of your Personal Information are minimized, and that these third parties act in compliance with applicable laws at all times.
X. Changes or Updates to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time, at our sole discretion, and the most recent version will always be posted on our website (as indicated in the “Last Updated” section). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed of any changes. In the event of significant changes, we will post a notice on our website to announce such changes. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted a notice of changes on our website, this will constitute your acknowledgment of, and consent to, such changes to the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by the terms of such changes.
