For details on your rights and obligations, please see our Terms of Service.

  • Details from communications you send to us via email or our website, including content and metadata;
  • Any other personal information you voluntarily provide.

Before disclosing another person’s personal information to us, you must obtain their consent for both disclosure and processing in accordance with this policy.

C. Using Your Personal Information

Personal information submitted to us will be used for the purposes specified in this policy or on relevant website pages. We may use your data to:

  • Administer our website and business;
  • Personalize your website experience;
  • Enable use of our services;
  • Deliver purchased services;

  • Provide third parties with anonymized statistical data (no individual identification);
  • Handle inquiries and complaints;
  • Enhance website security and prevent fraud;
  • Ensure compliance with our Terms of Service.

Information you publish on our website will be used according to the license you grant us. You can adjust privacy settings on the website to control published information.

D. Disclosing Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to:

  • Our employees, officers, insurers, advisers, agents, suppliers, or subcontractors as needed for the purposes outlined;
  • Any member of our group (subsidiaries, holding company, and affiliates) as necessary;
  • Third parties where required by law, for legal proceedings, to protect our rights, to a business purchaser, or to authorities likely to order disclosure.

Except as described, we will not share your personal information with third parties for direct marketing without your consent.

E. International Data Transfers

Data we collect may be stored, processed, and transferred between countries where we operate, including the United States, Russia, Japan, China, and India, which may lack data protection laws equivalent to the European Economic Area. Information you publish on our website may be accessible globally via the internet. We cannot prevent misuse by others. By using our Service, you consent to these transfers, as detailed in our Terms of Service.

F. Retaining Personal Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for its purpose, in compliance with legal obligations. Typically, we delete personal data after 12 months of inactivity, unless:

  • Required by law;
  • Relevant to ongoing or prospective legal proceedings;
  • Needed to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights.

Documents containing personal data may be retained accordingly.

G. Security of Your Personal Information

We employ reasonable technical and organizational measures to prevent loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information. Data is stored on secure, password- and firewall-protected servers, with encryption for financial transactions. However, internet transmission is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential; we will not request it except during login.

H. Amendments

We may update this Privacy Policy by posting a new version on our website. We will notify you of significant changes via email or our website’s messaging system. Check this page periodically to stay informed. Changes will align with updates to our Terms of Service.

K. Updating Information

Please notify us at [email protected] if your personal information needs correction or updating.

L. Cookies

Our website uses cookies—small files with identifiers sent by our server to your browser. Cookies may be persistent (valid until expiry) or session-based (expiring on browser close). They don’t typically identify users personally but may link to stored data. We use:

  • Google Analytics, Ads, and Adwords to track usage, improve usability, administer the site, prevent fraud, personalize content, and target ads.

Block cookies in your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) to refuse them, but this may impair functionality. Delete cookies manually via browser settings, noting potential usability impacts. For more, see our Terms of Service.
