We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without appropriate human oversight.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to provide services you have requested, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, and compliance with legal obligations.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to recognize your browser, remember preferences, and gather analytics about site usage. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the website may not function properly without them.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, and communication tools, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
We may also disclose information where required by law, in response to valid legal process, to protect our rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality safeguards.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Data Transfers
If you access our services from outside the jurisdiction in which our servers or service providers operate, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in a different jurisdiction, which may have data protection laws that differ from your own. Where such transfers occur, we aim to apply appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, or to receive a copy of your data in a portable format.
