Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, meet our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and our legal and operational needs. When no longer needed, we will delete or de-identify information consistent with applicable law.
Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided us information may contact us at [email protected].

Shine the Light
We do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent. California residents may contact us to request information about compliance with this requirement.
International Data Transfers
If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you. We may use automated tools to support analytics, security, and personalization.
User-Generated Content and Public Areas
Content you submit to public or shared areas (e.g., comments or public watchlists) may be visible to others. Do not post information you prefer to keep private.
Third-Party Services and Links
The Services may reference third-party content, tools, or platforms. Your interactions with third parties are governed by their privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party privacy policies or practices.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Because there is no accepted standard for responding to browser-based Do Not Track signals, we do not respond to DNT. We do, however, treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of sale/sharing/targeted advertising where required by applicable law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" below indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by direct notice where required by law.
