4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data depends on the specific context:

  • Artists & Buyers: When you purchase an asset, the seller receives your username and purchase details (not your full payment information). When you sell assets, buyers see your public profile and store name.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the new entity.

  • Secure servers with restricted access and regular security audits.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) options for user accounts.

Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
