2. Scope and Applicability.

This Policy applies to all Personal Information we collect via the Service, and to all uses and disclosures of such information. It does not apply to information (a) collected offline or by a third-party unaffiliated with us, (b) de-identified or aggregated in such a manner that it cannot reasonably be re-identified, or (c) processed pursuant to separate privacy notices or agreements (for example, for employment or vendor relationships).
To the extent any state or federal law requires additional or different disclosures, we will comply with such law and this Policy shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such requirements.

(c) Cookies and Similar Technologies. We and our service providers may use “cookies,” web beacons, tracking pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to collect or store information about your browser or device, your activities on the Service, and your preferences. You may instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, refusing cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (for Users in Applicable Jurisdictions).
Where required by applicable law (for example, under certain state privacy laws or foreign jurisdictions), we rely on one or more of the following legal bases to process your Personal Information: (i) your consent; (ii) the performance of a contract to which you are a party; (iii) our compliance with a legal obligation; (iv) our legitimate interests (provided that such interests do not override your rights or freedoms).
If we rely upon consent and you withdraw consent, we will cease that processing unless another valid legal basis applies.

5. Use of Information.
We may use the Personal Information we collect for the following purposes (and any other purpose disclosed to you at the point of collection):

1) To provide, maintain, operate, and improve the Service;

2) To verify your identity, authenticate users, and maintain your account security;

6. Disclosure of Information.
We may disclose your Personal Information as follows:

(a) Service Providers. We engage third-party service providers and contractors to perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, payment processing, customer support, email service, marketing automation). These parties have access only to the personal information necessary to perform their assigned tasks and are contractually bound to use it only in accordance with our instructions and this Policy.

(b) Business Transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, your information may be transferred as part of such transactions. We will attempt to notify you (e.g., via email or a prominent notice on the Service) of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as required by applicable law.

(c) Legal and Regulatory Compliance. We may disclose your information to comply with any court order, law, regulation, or governmental request; to protect and defend our rights or property; to investigate fraud; or to protect the personal safety of users or the public.

(d) With Your Consent. We may share personal information with other parties when we have your explicit consent (which may be opt-in depending on applicable law).

(e) Otherwise as Permitted by Law. We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you and cannot reasonably be re-identified.

7. Sensitive Personal Information.
If we collect or process your Sensitive Personal Information (SPI), we will do so only in accordance with applicable law and with additional safeguards. We will (i) clearly disclose the purpose for collection or processing of the SPI, (ii) obtain your affirmative opt-in consent where required, (iii) limit the use or retention of the SPI to the minimum necessary for the stated purpose, and (iv) abide by any special rights you may exercise under applicable law (such as deletion or restriction of processing).

8. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information / Profiling / Targeted Advertising.
To the extent required by applicable law, we will provide clear disclosures and offer you the ability to opt-out of (or opt-in to) the sale or sharing of your Personal Information, profiling of your personal data in connection with targeted advertising, and any other processing that qualifies as a “sale,” “sharing,” or “profiling for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects” under relevant statute.
If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that provides such rights (e.g., under state privacy laws effective in 2025) we will comply with the specific procedures and timelines set forth in that law.

9. Data Retention.
We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we no longer need to process your Personal Information, we will either securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate it. In making this determination, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, our legal obligations, and our business needs.

10. Security.
We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. In the event of a security breach involving your Personal Information, we will comply with our legal obligations to notify affected individuals and relevant authorities.

11. Your Rights.
Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information (subject to any applicable exceptions):

Right to withdraw your consent (where applicable);

6) Right to appeal or request review of automated decisions and profiling (where applicable);

7) Right to designate an authorized agent to exercise rights on your behalf (where permitted).

We will respond to verified consumer requests in accordance with applicable law, including any required timeframe. We may require you to provide proof of identity or additional information to process your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

12. International Transfers.
If we transfer your Personal Information to locations outside your country of residence (including to our affiliates or service providers in other countries), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place (such as standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or equivalent mechanisms) in compliance with applicable law.

13. Children’s Privacy.
Our Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 16 (or such higher age required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors under the age of 16 without parental or guardian consent. If you believe that we have collected Personal Information of a minor under the applicable age and without required consent, please contact us at the address given below. We will promptly take steps to delete such information in accordance with applicable law.

14. Links to Third-Party Sites.
The Service may contain links to external websites or services not operated by us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices or policies of those third-party sites. We recommend that you review the privacy notices of each site you visit. Accessing third-party links is at your own risk.

15. Analytics and Advertising.
We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or others) to understand and analyse user behaviour and trends. These tools may collect information about your visits and use of the Service. We may also participate in advertising programmes; some of these services may collect or use data to serve tailored ads. Where required under law, we provide you with opt-out mechanisms for such data processing.
(If applicable) We use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with interest-based advertising via third-party networks. You may opt out of interest-based advertising by changing your browser settings or visiting opt-out pages of the advertising networks.

16. International Users.
If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that you may be transferring your Personal Information to the U.S. or other countries whose data protection laws may differ from the laws of your country of residence. By using the Service and providing your Personal Information, you consent to such transfer. If your country provides additional rights (e.g., under the GDPR or other local laws), we will respect and enforce those rights to the extent we determine that they apply.

17. Compliance with U.S. State and Federal Privacy Laws
We are subject to evolving federal and state data privacy laws, which may impose additional obligations, consumer rights, and compliance requirements. For example, several states will implement new or expanded consumer data privacy laws in 2025, including but not limited to Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, Nebraska Data Privacy Act, New Hampshire Data Privacy Act, New Jersey Data Privacy Act, Tennessee Information Protection Act, Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act and Maryland Online Data Protection Act. We commit to reviewing and updating our privacy practices as required by these laws and any future legal developments.

18. Cross-Device and Cross-Platform Tracking
We may correlate information we collect about you across multiple devices, sessions or platforms in order to provide seamless service, account continuity, or consistent advertising. Where required by law, we provide you with opt-out mechanisms for such tracking and profiling.

19. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Where we engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects for you (for example, eligibility for a product or service, credit decisions, or pricing), we will inform you of the existence of such processing, provide meaningful information about its logic, and describe the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing, if required by applicable law.

20. Changes to This Policy
We may amend or revise this Policy from time to time (for example, to reflect changes in our practices, regulatory requirements, contractual obligations, or technological developments). We will post the amended Policy on the Service and indicate the “Last Updated” date above. If required by law, we may also send you separate notice (e.g., by email) or obtain fresh consent. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

23. Severability
If any provision of this Policy is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under present or future law, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while retaining the intent of the original provision, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
