By proceeding with a payment, you acknowledge and agree that your personal data may be shared with and processed by the applicable payment service provider for the purpose of processing your payment and complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

We will use your personal data for one or more of the following reasons:
In the course of using our Website, we automatically log information such as IP address, browser type, referrer and other technical data for internal use only. This information is used to optimize our Website’s technical usability and for internal research data. In addition, when you provide your consent, you agree to receive from us promotional or services related communications which may contain sexually explicit content through emails or other means.
We also collect and use your data for the purpose of providing information about products or services you have shown interest in purchasing within a reasonable time afterwards, if you are already an existing Member, distributing our opt-in newsletters and contact for market research by email, telephone or fax, prior authorization of the Member, and to send promotions. You may remove yourselves through the unsubscribe link at the bottom of all emails or contact us by sending us an email to dpo@trafficstars.com .
Traffic Stars, directly or through third parties, is authorised to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity. This may include asking you for further information that will allow us to reasonably identify you, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address or financial instruments or verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.
We may also ask to see your driver’s licence or other government issued picture ID or any other identifying documents at any time, solely for identification and verification purposes. Traffic Stars reserves the right to close, suspend, or limit access to your account in the event we are unable to obtain or verify this information.
We do not collect, store or in any way process Sensitive Data.
In the course of the performance of our contractual and statutory obligations, your personal data may be provided to different departments within Traffic Stars and/or to third parties providing services to us. If it is necessary to share your personal data with a third-party service provider so we may perform our services and/or legal obligations, we enter into a contractual agreement with such third party to ensure that they comply with the data protection law and GDPR and they observe confidentiality. We require all third-party service providers to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We only permit our third-party providers to use your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions and we only provide the necessary information they need to perform their specific services.
Your personal data may be transferred to entities outside the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) if this is necessary for the performance of our contractual relationship or if such a transfer is required by law. The EEA includes all the EU Members States plus three additional countries namely, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
To protect your personal data when transferred outside the EEA, we enter into the Standard Contractual Clause as provided by the European Commission.
We may transfer personal data to countries for which the European Commission has judged by its decisions (Adequacy Decisions) that transfer to these countries is safe because they ensure an equivalent level of personal data protection. Countries to which the transfer of personal data is assimilated to intra-EU transmission of personal data can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_el
Recipients of personal data may be, for example: third party/ies service provider/s, income tax authorities, auditors and accountants, legal consultants and external legal consultants, service providers, suppliers, agents, business partners, financial and business advisors, file storage companies, archiving and/or records management companies, cloud storage companies, delivery couriers, IT companies who support our website and other business systems and so on.
We do not use fully automated decision-making processes, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. While we utilize automated tools to assist in detecting fraudulent activity, ad targeting optimization and screening of ad campaigns, these tools serve only as a preliminary screening mechanism. Any decision that may impact users—such as suspending an account, rejecting an ad, or flagging a payment—undergoes human review before being finalized. This ensures that our decisions are fair, transparent, and consider all relevant factors beyond what an automated system can assess.
