You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you may also be presented with a cookie consent tool on our Site to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies.

How We Share Your Information We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
Service Providers: To support operation of the Site/App (e.g., hosting, analytics providers, payment processors). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the services they provide to us.
Affiliates: If you click an affiliate link, certain data (like referral source) may be shared with the merchant to track the referral.
Legal Compliance: When required by law or in response to lawful requests by public authorities (e.g., court order or government agency).
Business Transfers: If we merge, are acquired by, or sell assets to another entity, your data may transfer as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
Data Security We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encryption and access controls, to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data Retention We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The exact retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose of processing. For example, account information is retained as long as your account is active, and usage data may be retained for analytics purposes for a specific period (e.g., 26 months for Google Analytics data, unless otherwise configured).
