• Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 10), including pixels and local storage, which may store preferences and collect analytics.

C. Information from third parties

• Analytics providers, advertising networks, or social platforms may provide aggregated or inferred information about your interests and engagement.

4. Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal information under the following legal bases:

• Consent (e.g., for certain cookies/marketing).
• Contract (to provide requested services).
• Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, analytics, product improvement), balanced against your rights and interests.
• Legal obligations (compliance with applicable law).

5. How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information with:

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When no longer needed, we will securely delete or de‑identify information.

7. Security

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards—such as Standard Contractual Clauses—to protect personal information in cross‑border transfers.
