We use third parties to facilitate certain transactions. Four companies, Coinbase, Paysafecard, Paypal and Stripe (update companies used), allow us to process your credit card payments, and so they have access to your payment information. Two other third party companies, Mailgun and Actito (update companies used), allow us to send you emails, and so they have access to your email address, gender, and user name. Finally, Rollbar (update companies used), allows us to monitor and log technical issues, like crashes or errors, by logging IP address, user agent, and unique identifier of the member; those logs are kept for a maximum of 6 months. These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us. We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy policy. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
