Secure Payment and Data Protection

Last updated: 2026-11-12

This document is provided in English. The English version is binding.

1. Who processes your payment

Purchases on Game Avatar Studio are processed by Stripe and sold through Link (Stripe Managed Payments), which acts as merchant of record. Link calculates and collects sales tax or VAT, sends your receipt and handles payment support. Your card statement shows “LINK.COM*”.

2. We never see your card

Card numbers, security codes and bank details are entered on Stripe’s secure checkout page and never reach our servers. Stripe is certified to PCI DSS Level 1, the highest level of payment-industry security. We only receive the purchase amount, status and country.

3. Payment methods

Depending on your country, checkout offers cards, Link, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local payment methods. Prices are in US dollars; you may be offered your local currency at checkout.

4. Fraud prevention

• Stripe Radar screens every payment with machine-learning fraud signals and may ask for extra verification (3-D Secure).
• We rate-limit purchases and review accounts linked to chargebacks or unusual activity.

5. How we protect your data

• All traffic uses HTTPS with TLS encryption.
• Selfies and generated images are kept in private storage and are only reachable through short-lived signed links.
• Selfies are deleted automatically within 24 hours, and generated images after 30 days.
• We store no passwords: you sign in with Google, Discord or X.
• Access to production systems is limited and protected with multi-factor authentication where supported.

6. Payment problems

If you notice an unexpected charge or a payment problem, contact us at office@game-avatar.com or Link at support.link.com before disputing it with your bank. Refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.
