Sharing Information with Third Parties
We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. We may share non-personal information with trusted partners for the purposes of analytics, advertising, or service improvement. We require these partners to maintain the same privacy standards as we do.
Data Retention and Security
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. When the data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of data transmission or storage can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other relevant data protection laws, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction) without obtaining verifiable parental consent.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information. If you believe we might have collected information from a child without proper consent, please contact us at [email protected].
