While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal data that can be used to contact or identify you:

We use the said information to verify your age, register and maintain your user account, enable you to use the Service, contact you, if necessary, and maintain our business records. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘performing a contract with you’ and ’pursuing our legitimate interests’ (i.e., operate, analyze, grow, and administer the Service). We will store this data until you delete your user account.
  • Payments. When you make a payment (e.g., for a subscription or a donation), our third-party payment processors Stripe and PayPal collect your personal data, such as name, billing and delivery addresses, and payment details (e.g., credit card or PayPal details).
