1. Provider
Provider of Photoclub is Coreverse LLC.
Coreverse LLC is a company based in the USA and operates Photoclub as an international online platform for photography.
Photoclub can be used in multiple languages, countries, and currencies. Language, currency, or payment options serve international usability and do not by themselves mean that Photoclub is exclusively or primarily aimed at a specific country or legal jurisdiction.
2. Purpose of this privacy information
This privacy information explains which personal data Coreverse LLC may process in connection with the use of Photoclub, for what purposes this happens, and what options users have in connection with their data.
The applicable law is initially the law of the respective state of incorporation, operation, or residence as well as the applicable law according to the actual market relationships.
Insofar as EU or member state regulations claim extraterritorial applicability, this is initially a legal claim from the perspective of the EU or the respective member state. This claim does not replace recognition by the law of a state outside the EU and does not automatically make EU or member state law applicable law in states outside the EU.

This data is processed to ensure technical operation, detect errors, fend off attacks, prevent misuse, and ensure the stability of Photoclub.

10. Data sharing
Personal data is only shared insofar as this is necessary for the operation of Photoclub, payment processing, security, support, technical infrastructure, actual legal requirements, or legitimate interests of Coreverse LLC.
Sharing may particularly occur with technical service providers, payment providers, security services, communication services, or other commissioned providers.
Sharing for advertising purposes only occurs if corresponding technologies are actually used and this is provided for according to the respective region, user choice, and legal assessment.
11. International processing
Coreverse LLC operates Photoclub internationally. Data may therefore be processed, stored, or transmitted to service providers in various countries.
Users acknowledge that in an international online service, data is not necessarily processed exclusively in the user's country of residence.
Coreverse LLC ensures that service providers are selected according to their function, reliability, and technical suitability.
12. Storage duration
Personal data is stored as long as necessary for the respective purpose.
Account data is usually stored as long as the user account exists. Published content remains stored as long as it is available in Photoclub or not deleted. Technical logs may be stored for security, error analysis, and abuse protection for a limited period.
Longer storage may occur if necessary to enforce claims, defend against claims, combat fraud, ensure the security of Photoclub, or due to actual legal requirements.

Users can contact Coreverse LLC with questions about their data.
Depending on applicable law, technical possibility, and actual market relationships, users can request information, correction, deletion, or restriction of processing.
Coreverse LLC reviews such requests on a case-by-case basis. Voluntary processing of individual requests does not mean general recognition of a particular foreign legal system as worldwide or directly applicable law.
14. Security
Coreverse LLC uses technical and organizational measures to protect Photoclub and the processed data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, manipulation, and technical attacks.
This may include access controls, password hashing, logging, security checks, abuse detection, backups, and technical protective measures.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for using secure passwords and keeping access data confidential.
15. Minors
Photoclub is not specifically aimed at children.
Users who are not legally allowed to open a user account alone under the applicable law may only use Photoclub with the consent of a legal guardian.
