These third parties may use cookies or collect usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

5. Data Retention & Security

We retain data only for as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose. All personal data is securely stored and encrypted where applicable.

While we take robust measures to protect your data, no system is entirely immune to breaches. In the unlikely event of a data incident, affected users will be notified promptly.
