Information we collect
Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. Any information we collect may be automatically collected (i.e. information automatically sent to us by your devices when you access our services) or voluntarily provided (i.e. information you knowingly and actively provide us).

This data may include your device’s IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, time spent on each page, and other details about your visit or device.
Device data we collect can depend on the settings of your device and software. We recommend checking the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn what information they make available to us.
Additionally, if you encounter errors on this site, we automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other information relating to the problem.

3. How we collect and use your personal information
We only collect and use your personal information when we have legitimate reasons (what are considered to be “lawful bases” by the EU General Data Protection Regulation) for doing so, such as generating your purchased product, responding to your email, and identifying your transaction so we can assist you with a support enquiry.
In which case, we will collect and use your personal information lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner. If we seek your consent to process your personal information, and you are under 16 years of age, we will seek your parent or legal guardian’s consent to process your personal information for that specific purpose.
