Usage Data: As you browse our website, certain usage data is automatically collected. These include technical information such as the IP address of your device, the type and version of your browser, the specific pages you visit on our website, the date and time of your access, the amount of time you spend on those pages, and other diagnostically relevant data.
In the case of access via mobile devices, we also collect information specific to these devices. This may include, but is not limited to, the type of mobile device used, its unique identifier, the IP address of the device, the mobile operating system and the type of mobile browser, along with other identifiers and diagnostic data.
In addition, we collect information that your browser automatically provides each time you visit our website or access our website using a mobile device.
User Content: Fursion collects and processes user content, which includes data and information entered on our platform, messages sent and received through the platform, content generated on the platform, and any information or content provided through the use of the platform, solely to provide our platform and the functionalities available on the platform. The use of our platform implies consent to the processing of this data as described in this policy.
Payment data: Payment Data refers to information related to your credit or debit card, such as card number, expiration date, security code, etc., depending on the payment method selected by the User to make payments within the platform.
Your payment data will be processed by the payment processors available on Fursion, which will process and store your data securely and for the sole purpose of processing payments within the platform (Stripe, Apple Pay, Alipay). Fursion reserves the right to engage any payment processor available.

Contact information: We may access some personal information about the user, such as name and email address, when the user or any third party communicates with us through our contact information. Personal information provided through our contact information is not stored on any Fursion server and will be stored on the respective server of our email service.
At the Fursion platform, we recognize the importance of security and proper management of personal information and user-created content. We use a combination of web2 and web3 technologies to deliver our services, which involves specific data storage and processing practices detailed below:
Information Storage: all user-generated content on our platform, including NFTs and any other form of digital content, is stored on the web3 blockchain. This technology not only facilitates greater security but also ensures the immutability of the data. Once information is written to the web3 blockchain, it becomes permanent and cannot be altered or deleted.
Data Deletion: Because the web3 blockchain ensures the permanence of data, Fursion cannot delete information that has been confirmed and stored on the blockchain, even at the user's request. While certain data may be removed from our web2 servers or user interfaces, transactions and content stored on the blockchain will remain publicly accessible and outside the scope of Fursion's modification or deletion capabilities.
Public Access to Transactions: All transactions conducted on the Fursion platform, including purchases, sales and transfers of NFTs, are recorded on the blockchain and are publicly accessible. This ensures complete transparency but also means that such transactions cannot be hidden or deleted at a later date.
Data Protection and Validation: Fursion implements rigorous security measures to protect and validate all data before it is written to the web3 blockchain. We use advanced technologies to ensure that only correct and authorized information is recorded, thus maintaining data integrity and authenticity.
User Consent: By using Fursion services, users explicitly consent to the use of blockchain technology for permanent storage of the information and content they create or upload to the platform. It is the user's responsibility to understand the immutable and public nature of the blockchain before uploading content to the platform.
This approach to information storage and processing ensures that Fursion can offer a highly secure and transparent service, in line with the latest technologies in the field of digital assets and blockchain. By participating in Fursion, users accept these conditions, understanding the implications of web3 technology and the permanent nature of the information stored on the blockchain.
Personal data provided by users through the platform will be retained for the time necessary to provide the functionalities available on the platform, fulfill the legitimate purposes described in this policy in section 5 or until the user closes the user account, unsubscribes from our newsletter or requests the deletion of their data. Fursion may retain personal data for a longer period provided that the user has consented to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. In addition, Fursion may be obliged to retain personal data for a longer period provided that this is required for compliance with a legal obligation or by order of an authority. Once the retention period has expired, the personal data will be deleted. Therefore, the right of access, the right of deletion, the right of rectification and the right to data portability cannot be asserted after the retention period has expired.

We grant access to your personal information only to those outside persons or services that have a legitimate need to know it and in accordance with our privacy policy. We adhere to industry-recognized security standards to protect your personal information, both during transmission and in storage. However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is foolproof and 100% secure. Therefore, while we at Fursion strive to implement commercially viable data protection methods, we cannot ensure absolute security of your personal information. We undertake not to sell, distribute or transfer your personal data to unauthorized third parties, unless we have your explicit consent or are required by law to do so.
