All categories of personal data are stored for the duration of the account and after its deletion subject to the following periods:

The Operator takes organizational and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, alteration, or disclosure. In particular:

If a security incident involving unlawful access to personal data is identified, the Operator takes measures to localize and eliminate the consequences of the breach, and also notifies the authorized authority for the protection of personal data subjects' rights and, where necessary, affected Users in the manner established by the laws of the Russian Federation.
7. USER RIGHTS

If foreign personal data protection laws apply to a particular User, such User requests are considered individually and within reasonable periods taking into account applicable legal norms and the technical capabilities of the Services.
7.3. How to Exercise Rights
To exercise rights, the User sends a request to privacy@spaceclipse.com. The request must specify the nickname or email address associated with the account, as well as a description of the requested action.

Fulfillment of a request may be limited where the processing of data is necessary to comply with legal requirements or to protect the Operator's legitimate interests.
8. CHILDREN AND AGE RESTRICTIONS
The Services are intended for persons who have the legal capacity and active legal capacity necessary to conclude user agreements and provide consent to personal data processing in accordance with the laws of their country of residence. The Services are not intended for persons under the age of 14 in the Russian Federation.
By registering in the Services, the User confirms that the User has reached the age allowing independent consent to personal data processing and conclusion of user agreements under the laws of the User's country.
If the User has not reached the age of full legal capacity, registration and use of the Services are allowed only with the consent of a parent or other legal representative. In such case, the legal representative accepts this Policy and other documents governing the use of the Services on the legal representative's own behalf and bears responsibility for the actions of the minor User.
The Operator does not intentionally collect personal data of persons who do not have the necessary legal capacity. If the Operator becomes aware that such person registered without proper consent of a legal representative, the relevant account may be blocked until the circumstances are clarified or deleted.
- CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
Because Cloudflare services, based in the United States, are used, certain technical data such as IP address, connection parameters, and technical identifiers may be processed temporarily outside the Russian Federation.

The main personal data of Users is stored on servers located in the Russian Federation.
By accepting this Policy, the User consents to the cross-border transfer of personal data within the framework of the use of Cloudflare services.
10. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS
