Grounds for data collection
Processing of your “Personal Data” (meaning any
information which may potentially allow your
identification with reasonable means) is necessary for
the performance of our contractual obligations towards
you and providing you with our services and the
operation of our website (hereinafter the “Services” and
“Website”), to protect our legitimate interests and for
compliance with legal and regulatory obligations to
which we are subject. When you use our Service, you
consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and
other uses of your Personal Data as described in this
Privacy Policy.
How do we receive data about you?
We receive your Personal Data from various
sources:
1. Registration data – When you voluntarily provide us
your personal details in order to create an account or
register to our Services (for example, your name and
email address);
2. When you communicate with us – For example when you
send us an email, we collect the Personal Data you
provided us with.
3. Technical data – When operating our services, we use
various technological tracking tools to collect data
regarding your use of the Website. Along with our
partners, we may use tracking technologies such as
cookies, JavaScript, beacons and Local Storage, which
are used to store content data and preferences. You can
learn more about the tracking tools we use by reading
the Tracking Technologies section below.
4. Third party data – We may receive your data from
third party providers who help us with the provision and
maintenance of our Services, such as social networks
(for example your name and user name, when you register
or log-in to our Service), traffic analytics vendors,
fraud prevention agencies and others.
What type of data we collect?
Personal Data
In the course of using the Service, we may ask you to
provide us with certain Personal Data to provide and
improve the Service, to contact or identify you, to
enable you to access certain parts of the Website, and
as otherwise indicated in this Policy. We collect the
following Personal Data about you:
• Registration data – your name, address, your email
address, your age range and payment details.
• When using our Services – our webserver will collect
your IP-address and UID.
Non-Personal Data
We also collect data about the use of our Service and
the characteristics and activities of users, in order to
operate it and improve it. We may collect the following
non-Personal Data:
• Technical data – this category includes data such as
website visits, the browser you are using and its
display settings, your operating system, device type,
session start/stop time, time zone, network connection
type (e.g., Wi-Fi, cellular), cookie data and your
general location (city and country).
• Data from third parties – this category includes data
we receive from our business partners. This may include
pseudonymous advertiser identifiers that some
Advertisers or other third party ad platforms choose to
share with us. This data is also used to enhance data
points about a particular unique browser or device. If
we combine Personal Data with non-Personal Data, the
combined data will be treated as Personal Data. Further
Personal Data will only be stored and processed if you
voluntarily provide it to us, e.g. through a contact
form.
Tracking Technologies
When you visit or access our Services we use (and
authorize 3rd parties to use) pixels, cookies, events
and other technologies. Those allow us to automatically
collect data about you, your device and your online
behavior, in order to enhance your navigation in our
Services, improve our Website’s performance, perform
analytics and customize your experience on it. In
addition, we may merge data we have with data collected
through these tracking technologies with data we may
obtain from other sources and, as a result, such data
may become Personal Data.
We also use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect
data about your use of the Services. Google Analytics
collects data such as how often Users access the
Services, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We
use the data we get from Google Analytics only to
improve our Services. Google Analytics collects the IP
address assigned to you on the date you visit, rather
than your name or other identifying data. We do not
combine the data collected through the use of Google
Analytics with personally identifiable data. Google’s
ability to use and share data collected by Google
Analytics about your visits to our Services is
restricted by the Google Analytics
Terms of Use and the
Google Privacy Policy.
