The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform that allows us to offer you our services. Your data may be stored through the data storage, databases, and general applications of our hosting provider. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and offers secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.
Category: User Accepts Payments/eCom
All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) requirements as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
Category: Always
Despite the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection and security of any data you upload, publish, or otherwise share with us or others.
We therefore encourage you to set strong passwords for your account and avoid providing us or anyone else with any sensitive information whose disclosure could cause you significant or lasting harm.
