This policy describes how we collect, use, maintain, share, and disclose information about you when you use or interact with our Website, software, platform, or products (including without limitation through the Website, downloadable applications, mobile applications, or other software, or by registering for an account with us) (collectively, the “Service” ), or when you communicate with us.

This policy does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from the Service or from third-party applications that we may use to share information and otherwise communicate through. We do not control any third party’s tracking technologies or how they may collect or use your information. You should consult any such third party directly for the terms that govern their collection and use of your information.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this privacy policy.

Third-Party Payment Processor

We use a third-party payment processor to process payments made to us. In connection with the processing of such payments, we do not retain any personal information or any financial information such as credit card numbers. Rather, all such information is provided directly to our third-party processors, which may include Paypal, Amazon Pay, and the Steam platform. The use of your personal information by any such third-party processor is governed by such processor’s own privacy policy available on their respective websites.

Children Under the Age of 13

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 unless we have obtained verifiable parental consent in the form of a parent purchasing a Service subscription for their child or through an educational or similar institution providing us with parental consent to the child’s use the Service. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without such parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at info @eristem.com.

If a parent consents to their child under 13 using the Service, the child’s information will be collected and used in the same manner otherwise set forth in this policy except to the extent provided in this Section. We will not require a child under 13 to disclose more personal information than is reasonably necessary to use the Service.

If you are a parent who has consented to your child using the Service either directly through the purchase of a subscription or through an educational or similar institution, or otherwise, you have the following rights:

  • You may review your child’s personal information, direct us to delete it, and/or revoke your consent to allow any future collection or use of your child’s information; and
  • You may agree to the collection and use of your child’s information while withholding consent to allow disclosure to third parties unless such disclosure is part of the Service.
  • To exercise any of the foregoing rights, please contact us at info @eristem.com.
