We use cookies, pixels, and local storage to operate the site, remember preferences, analyze usage, and personalize content. You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where offered, our cookie banner or preferences center. Disabling certain cookies may impact site functionality.

Do Not Track: Your browser may send a “DNT” signal. Because there is no common industry standard, we do not currently respond to DNT.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary based on the nature of the data and our legal/operational needs.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

If you are located outside the country where our servers are based, your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.
