This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our site or use our services. By using our online platform, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our services, when you participate in activities on this service, or otherwise when you contact us. The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the services you use, but it may include contact details such as your name, job title, company name, business address, and professional email address.
We may also collect information automatically when you visit our site. This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, pages viewed, and dates/times of site visits. We may also collect information about how you interact with our site, such as links clicked.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information for various purposes, including:
- To provide, operate, and maintain our services.
- To improve, personalize, and expand our services.
- To understand and analyze how you use our services.
- To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
- To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the service, and for marketing and promotional purposes.
- To send you emails or other communications if you have agreed to receive them.
- To find and prevent fraud.
- For compliance, audits, and legal purposes.
Legal Bases for Processing
Under data protection laws, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:
- Your consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
- Performance of a contract: We may process your data when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our services.
- Legal obligations: We may process your data when we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as cooperating with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercising or defending our legal rights, or disclosing your information as evidence in litigation.
- Legitimate interests: We may process your data when we believe it is necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. This may include improving our services, marketing, and fraud prevention.
Sharing Your Information
We may share your personal information with third parties in specific situations, including:
- Service Providers: We may share your data with vendors, consultants, and other third-party service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts.
- Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
- Other Users: When you share personal information or otherwise interact in public areas of the site, such information may be viewed by all users and may be publicly distributed.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, unless otherwise required by law. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. If we transfer your personal data outside of your jurisdiction, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are protected, typically by implementing appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Your Privacy Rights
In many regions, including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to:
- Request access and obtain a copy of your personal information.
- Request rectification or erasure of your personal information.
- Request restriction of the processing of your personal information.
- Object to the processing of your personal information.
- Request data portability.
- Withdraw your consent at any time, where consent is the legal basis for processing.

We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children's Privacy
Our service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
