This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Platform you agree to the practices described here.

- Usage data — pages visited, features used, device and browser type, collected to improve the Platform.

4. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with service providers who help us run the Platform (for example, hosting, analytics and payment processing) under appropriate confidentiality obligations, or where required by law.
5. Data security & retention
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain personal data only for as long as needed to provide our services or as required by law.

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. You may also withdraw consent for non-essential communications at any time.
