Your Acknowledgment of This Policy
You are not legally required to provide us with any personal data. This means that if you provide us with data, you are doing so out of your own volition and consent; we cannot force you to provide any personal data, but without your personal data we cannot provide you with the services.
You have the right to withdraw from this consent at any time, and in such a case request that we either cease processing your personal data, or that we delete whatever personal data is no longer required to retain under law. Such removal of data may also prevent you from receiving updates and support.

What Types of Data Do We Collect?
Non-Personally Identifiable Data. The first type is non-personally-identifiable data and statistical information. Non-personally identifiable data that is being gathered consists of technical information and behavioral information that does not pertain to a specific individual (“Non-Personal Data”).
This includes your device type, browser type and version, IP data, screen size and resolution, language and other technical data. While it is not specifically personally identifiable, it may be reverse-engineered to be identifiable and therefore is considered personal data.
Usage Data. Usage data may include your search queries performed in the service and your activities on the services and additional information of a similar nature, such as the pages you viewed and the content you submitted or reviewed using the service.
Personally Identifiable Data. The other type of data we collect is individually identifiable data. To put it simply, this data identifies an individual or is of a private and/or sensitive nature, such as your contact information, including: (i) Personal Data that is provided by you voluntarily, such as your username, email address, profile picture, social accounts and other data you filled when signing up or using our services; and (ii) Personal Data we learn from your use of the services; including your IP address, payment type and similar information.
How Do We Collect Personal Data?
Personal data is collected from your use of the services and by your contact with us. We collect data through the forms and submissions made through the services, as well as by using JS capture. This means that if you fill out a form and do not submit it, we may collect that data.
We also use Google Address Autocomplete for postal addresses.
What Are the Purposes of the Collection and Processing of Data?
The purposes of collecting and processing the data are to provide you with the services, which means we use your data to provide you with the services and provide you with support.
Moreover, we may use the personal data to improve the services. This means that we use aggregated understandings of how our users interact with our services to obtain insights that lead to the improvement of future versions, bug reports, and feature requests. We may create look-alike audiences and share our customer lists with advertising services that may provide us with such services, all under confidentiality obligations..
We may also use your email address to send you information relating to our services and promotional material.
When we say “our services” we mean our website, our shop and ouraffiliate services.
How Can We Contact You?
If you registered to our newsletter, or if signed up to our services, we may contact you with periodic updates and promotional emails relating to the service and the products or services we offer.
You may opt out of these at any time, but not from transactional emails, such as updates on payments.
Moreover, if you showed interest in one of our products or services, we may contact you in relation to such product or service.
