All payment options offered by us and our hosting provider for our digital assets comply with the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) of the PCI Security Standards Council (Council for Payment Card Industry Security Standards).

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card data (including physical, electronic, and procedural measures) through our shop and the service providers.
Category: Always
Notwithstanding the measures and efforts undertaken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot and do not guarantee absolute protection or security of the data you upload, publish, or otherwise provide to us or others. For this reason, we ask that you choose secure passwords and avoid transmitting confidential information to us or others if you believe that its disclosure could cause significant or lasting harm. Since email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we also ask that you do not share confidential information via these channels.
