How We Use Data

We use data to operate and improve the site, personalize content, perform analytics, ensure security, and comply with legal obligations. We limit processing to what is necessary and retain data only for as long as needed for the stated purposes.

Cookies & Tracking

We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure performance, and improve user experience. You can control cookies via your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies may impact site functionality.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics) under contracts that require confidentiality and data protection. We disclose data when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we strive to safeguard information and promptly address incidents.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. When no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

International Transfers

If data is transferred outside your jurisdiction, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your information.
