How Do We Protect the Data?

Category: Always

The hosting service for our digital assets provides me with the online platform through which I offer you our services. Your data may be stored through the hosting provider’s data storage, databases, and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.

Category: Always

Despite the measures and efforts taken by me and my hosting provider, I cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of the data you upload, publish, or otherwise share with me or others.

For this reason, I ask you to set strong passwords and avoid providing us or others with any sensitive information whose disclosure could cause you significant or lasting harm. As email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communication forms, I also request that you do not share any sensitive information via these communication channels.

 

How Do We Handle Minors?

Category: User does NOT collect data from minors

The services are not designed for users who have not yet reached the legal age of majority. I will not knowingly collect data from children. If you are not of legal age, you should not download or use the services and should not provide me with any information.

We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time to verify that minors are not using my services. If I become aware that a minor is using our services, we may prohibit and block such users from accessing our services and delete any data stored with us regarding that user. If you believe that a minor has provided us with data, please contact us as explained below.

Category: User collects data from minors

Children can use my services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may need to provide certain information. The collection of some data (including data collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may be automatic. If I knowingly collect data from a child, I will notify and obtain consent from the parents in accordance with applicable law. I do not condition a child's participation in an online activity on providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary for participation in that activity. I use the data we collect from children only for the internal operation of my services and are prohibited by law from using it for any other purpose. If you are a parent of a child using our services, you can review and delete your child’s data, and refuse to allow further collection or use of your child’s data, by contacting me as explained below. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without parental consent, I will delete that data as quickly as possible. If you believe that I have such data, please contact me as explained below.
