Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and local storage to remember preferences, keep the site secure, measure performance, and support advertising. You can manage cookies via your browser or device settings. Where required by law (for example, in the EEA/UK), we request your consent through a cookie banner, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Advertising and Analytics

We may work with advertising and analytics providers (for example, ad networks and measurement providers). These partners may set or read cookies and identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, or to show non-personalized ads using contextual information. In regions where consent is required, we request and honor your choices. You can adjust your preferences at any time via our cookie notice (where available) or contact us at our contact page.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

If you are in the EEA or UK, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent: for analytics/advertising cookies and similar technologies where required.
• Contract: to provide services you request.
• Legitimate interests: to improve content, secure the Service, and measure performance, balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligations: to comply with laws and regulatory requirements.

Your Rights and Choices

Your rights depend on your location and applicable law. They may include the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data; to object to certain processing; to withdraw consent; and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority where applicable.

To exercise your rights or update your preferences, contact us at our contact page. We may ask for information to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

US State Privacy Rights

If you reside in a US state with consumer privacy laws, you may have additional rights such as the right to know, delete, correct, or opt out of certain data uses (including targeted advertising or “sharing”). To make a request or to opt out, contact us via our contact page and include “Privacy Request” in your message. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary based on data type, purpose, and legal obligations. Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained for analytics and reporting.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take steps designed to ensure appropriate protections are in place for such transfers, including contractual safeguards where required by law.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your devices up to date.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or a higher age where local law requires). If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us at our contact page  so we can take appropriate action.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to these signals, we do not currently respond to them. We will review and update this section if standards emerge.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes will be communicated in a prominent way on the Service.
