We collect personal information that you provide directly, information generated automatically when you use our Services, and

2. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We collect personal information through a combination of information you provide directly, information gathered automatically when

makes available. This may include your name, email address, and account identifier.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We only process personal information when we have a valid legal basis under applicable data protection laws. This means we process

data when it is necessary to provide our Services, fulfill our contractual obligations, comply with legal requirements, protect

important interests, or pursue legitimate business purposes that do not override your rights.

Legal Bases We Rely On

We may rely on the following legal bases to process personal information:

* Contract - when processing is necessary to provide the Services or take steps at your request.

* Consent - when you voluntarily provide information for a specific purpose; you may withdraw consent at any time.

* Legitimate interests - when processing is necessary for our business operations and does not override your rights.

* Legal obligation - when we must process data to comply with applicable laws.

* Vital interests - when necessary to protect the safety or vital interests of an individual.

Purposes for Which We Process Personal Information

* We use personal information to provide customer support, answer inquiries, and resolve issues.

Legal basis: to protect vital interests

4. HOW WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION

We process personal information in ways that are appropriate to the nature of the data and the purposes for which it is collected.

This includes storing, organizing, using, transmitting, and deleting information when it is no longer required. We apply

principles of data minimization, purpose limitation, and accuracy to ensure that personal information is processed only when

necessary and for clearly defined purposes.

Access to personal information is limited to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job duties and who are bound by

confidentiality obligations. We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against

unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. These measures may include access controls, authentication procedures,

logging, encryption in transit and at rest (where appropriate), monitoring, and routine security assessments.

We may combine information collected from different sources when this is necessary to operate the Services or when required to

meet a lawful purpose, such as preventing fraud or maintaining the security of our platform.

We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer

retention period is required or permitted by law. For more details, see the “How Long We Retain Information” section.

Where required by applicable laws, we provide users with the ability to access, update, delete, restrict, or withdraw consent to

the processing of their personal information. Additional rights may apply depending on your location; see the “Your Rights”

section for more information.

5. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND PROFILING

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in a way that produces legal or similarly significant effects. If this

changes in the future, we will update this Policy and provide any required notices or options.

6. COOKIES & TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons, tags, and pixels) to operate our website, understand how it

is used, improve performance, and enhance your experience. These technologies help us maintain platform security, remember your

preferences, prevent errors, and support essential site features.

We may use the following categories of cookies:

* Necessary / Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly and to provide services explicitly requested by

the user.

* Analytics / Performance Cookies: Collect aggregated or behavioral data to help website owners understand usage and improve

performance.

* Social Media Cookies: Set by social networks when content is embedded or social-sharing features are used.

Some cookies are set directly by us (“first-party cookies”), while others may be placed by third-party providers that support our

operations (“third-party cookies”), such as analytics, advertising, or customer support tools.

Where required by law, we display a cookie banner or notice to obtain consent and to give users control over cookie settings.

Necessary/Essential cookies are always active, while Analytics/Performance, Advertising/Marketing, and Functional/Preference

cookies are used only with consent where required by law. You can manage your preferences at any time through the Cookie Banner or

settings page.

7. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not share personal information with third parties, except when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We do not share personal information with third parties, except when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

9. HOW LONG WE RETAIN INFORMATION

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal

and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We do not keep personal information longer than needed,

and retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the reason it was collected.

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process personal information, we will delete or anonymize it. If deletion is

not immediately possible (for example, due to technical constraints or backup systems), we will securely store the information and

isolate it from further processing until deletion is feasible.

We retain personal information for the following periods:

* Account information: Until users delete their account.

* Profile and preferences: Until users terminate their accounts.

* User-generated content: Until deleted by the user or until the account is closed.

With regard to cookies and tracking data, we retain personal information according to the durations listed in the Cookie Policy.

If no specific retention period applies, we delete or anonymize personal information once it is no longer necessary for the

purpose collected.

10. HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access,

disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks

associated with processing personal information.

Our safeguards may include:

* Encryption of data in transit and at rest

* Access controls to limit who can view or handle information

* Monitoring and logging of system activity to detect potential issues

* Regular security assessments and updates to our systems

* Secure data storage and transmission practices

* Employee training on data protection and security

While we take reasonable steps to safeguard personal information, no system or method of transmission over the internet is

completely secure. Because of this, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we identify a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable supervisory authorities

when required by law.

account with us to submit your request. We will use any personal information collected from you in connection with the

verification of your request solely for verification and shall not further disclose the personal information, retain it longer

than necessary for purposes of verification, or use it for unrelated purposes.

technically frictionless manner.

How and when we are expected to handle your request

We will respond to your request without undue delay, but in all cases within the timeframe required by applicable law. Should we

need more time, we will explain to you the reasons why, and how much more time we need.

Should we deny your request, we will explain to you the reasons behind our denial. Afterwards, you may at your option then contact

the relevant regulatory authority to submit a complaint.

We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless such request is manifestly unfounded or unduly excessive and

in all other cases where it is permitted by the applicable law. In such cases, at our discretion, we may charge a reasonable fee

withdrawal. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
