Non-Personal Data refers to information that does not directly identify an individual, but may still be collected to help improve our Services and enhance the user experience. This data is generally aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified, making it impossible to link back to any specific individual. The following are examples of the types of Non-Personal Data that we may collect:

• Technical Information: This encompasses data related to the technical aspects of the user’s device and interaction with our Services, including but not limited to browser type, operating system, network diagnostics, and other system-related information necessary for optimizing the user experience and ensuring functionality.

Non-Personal Data is primarily used to enhance the overall performance of our Services, troubleshoot technical issues, and develop features that better serve our users. Although this data does not identify individual users, it plays a vital role in maintaining and improving the services we provide.

We employ a variety of methods to collect data from users in order to enhance and personalize the Services we provide. These methods ensure that we gather accurate and relevant information in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The following are the primary methods through which we acquire data:

• 3.1 Direct Collection
• 3.2 Automated Technologies
• 3.3 Third-Party Data Acquisition

The combination of these methods ensures that we gather comprehensive data to serve our users effectively while maintaining transparency and compliance with privacy standards.

Direct Collection refers to the process by which we obtain information directly from users through their voluntary interactions with our Services. This method involves users providing personal data through various means such as completing online forms, registering for accounts, subscribing to services, or participating in transactional processes. The information collected in this manner may include, but is not limited to, names, email addresses, contact details, payment information, and other relevant data that users choose to provide in order to access specific features or services.

The data provided through direct collection is often used to facilitate the creation of user accounts, process transactions, and communicate with users regarding their use of the Services. We may also use this data to personalize the user experience, offer targeted content, and respond to customer inquiries or support requests. The collection of this information is done with the users explicit consent, and we ensure that all data is handled in compliance with relevant privacy laws and regulations.

Users are encouraged to review the information they provide and to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date. By submitting personal information via forms or account creation processes, users acknowledge their understanding of how such data will be used and consent to its collection as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Automated Technologies refer to the various tools and techniques employed to collect data about user interactions with our Services without direct user input. These include, but are not limited to, cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, scripts, and behavioral analytics tools. These technologies automatically track and record information such as browsing behavior, device information, session duration, and referral sources.

Cookies are small text files placed on a user's device to store preferences, login details, and other useful information to enhance the user experience.

Behavioral analytics tools analyze the collected data to identify patterns and trends in user behavior, allowing us to optimize the functionality and performance of our Services.

The use of automated technologies helps us improve the user experience by tailoring content, improving service performance, and providing insights into how our Services are being used. Additionally, this data is instrumental in identifying technical issues and ensuring smooth operation across different devices and platforms. Users may manage or disable cookies through their browser settings, though doing so may affect their experience with certain features or functionalities of our Services.

Third-Party Data Acquisition refers to the process by which we obtain data from external entities that are not directly provided by users of our Services. These external sources include, but are not limited to, our partners, advertisers, social media networks, data brokers, and publicly accessible databases. This data may supplement the information we collect directly from users or through automated technologies, providing us with a more comprehensive understanding of user behavior, preferences, and trends.

The data acquired from third parties may include demographic information, online activity, social media interactions, and other relevant details that assist us in enhancing our marketing efforts, targeting specific audiences, and improving the overall user experience. For example, social media platforms may share insights related to user engagement with our content, while data brokers may provide demographic or geographic data to help refine our service offerings.

We ensure that any third-party data we acquire complies with applicable privacy laws and is processed in accordance with the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. Additionally, we take steps to verify the legitimacy of the sources from which we obtain data and the methods by which it is collected. Users may also have the ability to control the data shared by third parties, depending on the settings and permissions available through those external entities.

The information collected through our Services is used for a variety of purposes that help us provide a better, more efficient experience for our users. This data allows us to deliver essential services, personalize user interactions, and ensure the safety and compliance of our platform.

We ensure that all data usage is conducted in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws, and we respect the preferences and consent choices provided by our users.

There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose or share the data we collect from users. While we are committed to protecting your privacy and confidentiality, we may share your information in accordance with legal requirements or for purposes that enhance the overall functionality and effectiveness of our Services. The following outlines the primary situations where data may be disclosed:

• Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or asset sale, user data may be transferred to third parties as part of the transaction. This may occur as part of due diligence or as a necessary step to continue providing Services under the new ownership or structure.
• Service Providers: We may share user data with third-party vendors, consultants, and affiliates who assist in various business operations such as payment processing, customer support, analytics, and technical maintenance. These entities are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality and are restricted from using the data for any purpose other than to assist in delivering our Services.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose user data if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, or regulatory authority. This includes responding to legal processes or cooperating with law enforcement agencies in cases of suspected illegal activities, fraud, or violations of our Terms of Service.
• Advertising and Marketing: Data may be shared with third-party advertisers, marketers, or analytics providers who use it for advertising or promotional purposes. However, such sharing is done in compliance with applicable privacy laws and typically involves aggregated or anonymized data to ensure that personal identification is not revealed without consent.

In all instances where data is shared or disclosed, we take reasonable precautions to ensure that third parties handle the information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

We retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including business and legal obligations. The length of time we retain personal data can vary depending on several factors, such as regulatory requirements, operational needs, and individual user requests. Below are the primary factors that determine the retention period for your data:

• Regulatory Requirements:  We are obligated to retain certain data to comply with applicable laws, including financial, tax, and legal mandates. This may involve retaining records for a specified duration in order to meet auditing or reporting requirements, as well as responding to governmental requests or legal disputes.
• Operational Necessities:  Data may be retained for operational purposes, such as supporting security measures, fraud prevention, and ensuring the continuity and functionality of our Services. For example, we may retain certain transaction or usage data to detect and prevent fraudulent activity or to investigate any potential security breaches.
• User Preferences:  Retention periods are also influenced by user rights, such as requests for data deletion or modification. Upon a user's request to delete their account or data, we will honor such requests in accordance with applicable laws, unless there is a legitimate reason for retaining certain information, such as compliance with legal obligations or resolving disputes.

Once data is no longer required for any of the above purposes, it will be securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with our data retention policies. We take appropriate measures to ensure that personal data is stored safely and that it is only retained for as long as necessary to serve its intended purpose.

Your information may be stored, processed, and transferred to multiple jurisdictions, including countries outside of your country of residence. These jurisdictions may have different levels of data protection and privacy laws that may not offer the same level of protection as those in your home country. The global nature of our Services may necessitate the transfer of data to locations where our servers or service providers are located. By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the processing, storage, and transfer of your personal data to countries that may not have equivalent data protection standards.

We are committed to ensuring that your data is protected and handled securely, regardless of the jurisdiction in which it is processed. We take appropriate steps to safeguard your data during international transfers, including implementing data protection safeguards such as contractual clauses, encryption, and adherence to recognized standards. If required by applicable law, we will inform you of any significant risks associated with the transfer of your personal data and will take the necessary actions to mitigate those risks.

By using our Services, you provide your consent for the international transfer of your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you have concerns regarding the transfer of your personal data across borders, you may contact us for further information or clarification.

Users may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of their personal data. These rights vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific legal framework governing data protection in your region. Below are the primary rights users may have:

• Access & Portability:  Users have the right to request a copy of their personal data that has been collected, as well as information about how it is being processed. Additionally, under certain circumstances, users may request to have their data transferred to another service provider in a commonly used and machine-readable format.
• Correction & Deletion:  Users may request corrections or updates to inaccurate or incomplete information. In some cases, users may also request the deletion of their personal data, provided that it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where the data processing is not legally required.
• Objection & Restriction:  Users have the right to object to the processing of their data in certain circumstances, such as when the processing is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Users may also request that processing be restricted, meaning that their data may not be used for certain activities while the request is being reviewed.
• Opt-Out Mechanisms:  Users have the right to opt out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, analytics tracking, and marketing communications. This may involve adjusting settings within their account or through external platforms or opting out of specific marketing communications.

To exercise any of these rights, users can contact us through the provided contact methods. We will respond to requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws and within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that there may be certain exceptions or limitations to these rights depending on the specific circumstances and legal requirements.

We prioritize the security of your data and implement a range of robust security measures to protect it from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Our security protocols are designed to mitigate potential risks and safeguard personal and sensitive data throughout its lifecycle. The following outlines the primary security measures we have in place to protect your data:

• Encryption:  We utilize advanced cryptographic techniques to secure data both at rest (when stored) and in transit (when being transmitted across networks). This ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized interception, providing a secure environment for data exchanges.
• Access Controls:  We implement strict authentication and authorization mechanisms to restrict access to data only to those individuals or entities with a legitimate need to access it. This includes the use of secure login systems, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access controls to prevent unauthorized access.
• Monitoring & Auditing:  Our systems are continuously monitored for security vulnerabilities, and we conduct regular security audits to identify potential threats and weaknesses. This proactive approach allows us to implement timely threat mitigation strategies and respond quickly to any suspicious activity, ensuring the ongoing safety of user data.

While no security system is completely foolproof, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and regularly reviewing and updating our security protocols to address emerging threats. We also encourage users to take appropriate measures to protect their own personal information, such as using strong passwords and being cautious of phishing attempts.
