The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

Please note that our Services enable social interactions (e.g. posting content, information and comments publicly and chatting with other users). We advise you that any content or data that you make available in these areas can be read, collected and used by other people. We do not recommend posting or sharing information that you do not want to make public.

We cannot control the actions of other users or members of the public with access to your data or content. You understand and hereby acknowledge that copies of your data may remain accessible even after deletion on cached and archived pages or after a third party has made a copy/storage of your content.
When you visit or access our Services, we authorize third parties to use web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, and other technologies and analytics services ("Tracking Technologies").

Where do we store the data?
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Please note that our company and our trusted partners and service providers are based around the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process all non-personal data that we collect in different jurisdictions.
Your personal information may be maintained, processed and stored in the United States, other countries and as necessary for the proper provision of our Services and/or by law (as further explained below) in other jurisdictions.
How long is the data retained?
Please note that we retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We can correct, supplement or delete incorrect or incomplete data at any time at our own discretion.
How do we protect the data?
Our 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. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.
All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the regulations of the PCI-DSS (data security standard of the credit card industry) of the PCI Security Standards Council (council for security standards of the credit card industry). This is a collaboration between brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. The PCI DSS requirements help to ensure the secure handling of credit card data (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) by our shop and the service providers.
Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee the absolute privacy or security of any information that you upload, post or otherwise disclose to us or others.
For this reason, we would like to ask you to set secure passwords and, if possible, not to send us or others confidential information, the disclosure of which could cause you significant or lasting damage. Also, since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not share any confidential information through any of these communication channels.
