Below is an overview of the data we may collect:

  • Non-identified and non-identifiable information that you provide during the registration process or that is collected through the use of our Services ("Non-Personal Data"). Non-personal data does not allow for any conclusions to be drawn as to who it was collected from. Non-personal data we collect primarily consists of technical and aggregated usage information.

  • Individually identifiable information, i.e., all data through which you can be identified or could be identified 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 with non-personal data, we treat this data as personal data as long as it is in combination.

​ How Do We Collect Data?

Below are the main methods we use to collect data:

  • We collect data when you use our Services. So, when you visit our digital assets and use the Services, we may collect, record, and store usage, sessions, and associated information.

  • We collect data that you provide to us yourself, for example, when you contact us directly via a communication channel (e.g., an email with a comment or feedback).

  • We may, as described below, collect data from third-party sources.

  • We collect data you provide when you log into our services via a third-party provider such as Facebook or Google. ​ Why Do We Collect This Data?

We may use your data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate our Services;

  • To develop, customize, and improve our Services;

  • To respond to your feedback, inquiries, and requests and to offer assistance;

  • To analyze demand and usage patterns;

  • For other internal, statistical, and research purposes;

  • To improve our data security and fraud prevention capabilities;

  • To investigate violations and enforce our terms and policies, and to comply with applicable law, regulations, or governmental orders;

  • To send you updates, news, promotional materials, and other information related to our Services. For promotional emails, you can decide whether you wish to continue receiving them. If not, simply click the unsubscribe link in these emails. ​ To Whom Do We Share This Data?

We may share your data with our service providers to operate our Services (e.g., storing data via third-party hosting services, providing technical support, etc.). ​ We may also disclose your data under the following circumstances: (i) to investigate, detect, prevent, or take action against illegal activities or other misconduct; (ii) to establish or exercise our rights of defense; (iii) to protect our rights, property, or personal safety as well as the safety of our users or the public; (iv) in the event of a change of control in our company or any of our affiliated companies (by way of merger, acquisition or purchase of (substantially) all assets, etc.); (v) to collect, hold, and/or manage your data through authorized third-party providers (e.g., cloud service providers), as is appropriate for business purposes; (vi) to work with third-party providers to improve your user experience. To avoid any misunderstanding, we would like to point out that we may transfer, share, or otherwise use non-personal data with third parties at our sole discretion. ​ ​ Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you visit or access our Services, we authorize third parties to use web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, as well as other technologies and analysis services ("Tracking Technologies"). These Tracking Technologies may enable third parties to automatically collect your data to improve the navigation experience on our digital assets, optimize their performance, and ensure a tailored user experience, as well as for purposes of security and fraud prevention. To learn more, please read our Cookie Policy. ​ Where Do We Store the Data? ​ Non-Personal Data Please note that our companies as well as our trusted partners and service providers are located all over the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process all non-personal data that we collect in different jurisdictions. ​ How Do We Protect the Data? Regardless of the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and will not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data that you upload, publish, or otherwise share with us or others. For this reason, we ask you to set secure passwords and, if possible, not to send us or others any 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 you not to share any confidential information via either of these communication channels. ​ We use your personal data only for the purposes specified in the 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 care or technical support);

  • the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with 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 privacy rights). ​ As an EU Resident, you can:

  • 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 additional information;

  • request to receive personal data 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 the processing of your personal data, or

  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. ​ Please note, however, that these rights are not unlimited and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you have general questions about the personal data we collect and its use, please contact us as indicated below. In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders 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 an EEA resident, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are confident that an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data exists. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate contractual agreements with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, 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 compliance with applicable laws at all times. ​ Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act If you use the Services as a resident of California, you may be entitled to request access to and deletion of your data under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). To exercise your right to access and delete your data, please see below for how to contact us. We do not sell personal data of users for the intentions and purposes of the CCPA. ​ Updates or Changes to the Privacy Policy We may revise this Privacy Policy at our own discretion from time to time, and the version published on the website is always current (see the "as of" date). We ask you to regularly review this Privacy Policy for any changes. In case of material changes, we will post a notice on our website. If you continue to use the services after a notification of changes on our website, this will be considered your acknowledgment and consent to the changes to the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by the terms of these changes. ​ Contact: If you have general questions about the Services or the data we collect about you and its use, please contact us at: ​ Rafaela Walter Bachmann Kasernenstr. 2, 8350 Fehring Email: rafaela.walter.bachmann@gmail.com ​ DISCLAIMER The information contained herein does not constitute legal advice and you should not rely on it alone.
