For this Privacy Policy, “personally identifiable information” means any information by which someone can be personally identified.

In addition, as is true of most websites, we may also gather non-personal identifiable information about your computer such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system. The Site uses a browser feature known as a cookie, which assigns a unique identification to your computer. The information collected from cookies allows us to provide better customer service to you and to improve features of our Site in a variety of ways, including by determining whether you have visited the Site in the past and which pages of our Site you have visited. See section ‘Cookies, Pixels, and Similar Technologies’ below for additional information. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of your information being used in this way, you are free to opt-out. See the “How you manage your personal information” section below.

COOKIES, PIXELS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES:
We (along with third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on our Site), may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“technologies”) to automatically collect information through the Site.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us and we are committed to handling such information carefully. We encrypt your personally identifiable information when it is sent over the Internet. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.

If you learn that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, you may alert us at contact@studiogdb.nl. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in certain jurisdictions, such as EU member countries) we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible and terminate the child’s account unless we receive verifiable parental consent.
