We process your data based on your consent, the necessity to perform our contract with you, compliance with legal obligations, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving a safe platform.

4. Sharing Data with Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted vendors who assist in operations (e.g., hosting, analytics, payment processing, customer support) under strict confidentiality agreements.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

5. Data Protection and Security

We implement robust technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption (in transit and at rest), access controls, secure software development practices, and regular security assessments.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to responding promptly to any suspected data breaches and notifying you and applicable regulators where we are legally required to do so.
