We are committed to safeguarding your personal information even in the hands of third-party providers.
Legal Compliance and Protection
Our commitment to privacy is balanced with our responsibility to comply with the law. We reserve the right to disclose any information we collect when required by law to do so, to protect our rights or the rights of others, or to investigate fraud.

We believe in transparency regarding any changes that may affect how your information is handled.
Aggregated Data
We may also share aggregated, non-personal information regarding our users and their behavior to third parties, for purposes such as marketing analysis or research. This aggregated information does not identify individual users and helps us understand trends and insights to improve our services. By sharing non-personal data, we aim to maintain our commitment to user privacy while still providing useful insights to our partners and stakeholders. Aggregate data can be an invaluable resource for understanding overall user engagement without compromising individual privacy.
