Sensitive Information. We do not process sensitive information.

All payment data is stored by Stripe. You can find their privacy statement link here: https://stripe.com/zh-us/privacy.
All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.
In short: Some information – such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics – is collected automatically when you visit our services.
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can find out more about this in our Cookie Statement.
The information we collect includes:
In short: We process your information to provide, improve, and manage our services, communicate with you, ensure security and prevent fraud, and comply with the law. With your consent, we may also use your information for other purposes.
We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our services, including:
In short: We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, such as with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. Therefore, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your consent can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
In short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information when you interact with our services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of the services and your account, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also allow third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our services for analytics and advertising, including helping to manage and display ads, tailoring ads to your interests, or sending abandoned cart reminders (depending on your communication preferences). Third parties and service providers use their technologies to provide advertisements for products and services tailored to your interests, which may appear on our services or other websites.
To the extent that these online tracking technologies are considered "sales"/"sharing" (including targeted advertising as defined by applicable law) under applicable U.S. state laws, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request as described in the section "Do U.S. residents have specific privacy rights?"
For specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies, please see our Cookie Statement.
We may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze the use of our services. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information about Google's privacy practices, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms page.
In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy statement unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy statement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our services is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.
In short: Depending on your location, such as in the United States or regions like the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
In certain regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These rights may include the right to (i) request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) request rectification or erasure, (iii) restrict the processing of your personal information, (iv) if applicable, data portability, and (v) not be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing Your Consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent under applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent, where permitted by applicable law.
Opting Out of Marketing and Promotional Communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the emails we send, replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to the SMS messages we send, or by contacting us using the details provided in the section "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" below. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you, for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
If you would at any time like to review or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can:
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our services. To learn more, please see our Cookie Statement.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at bi@deku.cc.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy statement.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there is no industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them.
In short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you have rights that allow you to request access to and receive details about the personal information we hold about you, how we process it, correct inaccuracies, obtain a copy of your personal information, or delete your personal information. You also have the right to withdraw consent for the processing of your personal information. In certain circumstances, these rights may be limited by applicable law. More information is provided below.
