We are not responsible for the security of any information you share with third parties that may be linked to or advertised on our Services but are not affiliated with us.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, online services, or mobile apps, and may feature advertisements from third parties not connected with us. These third parties may link to other websites or services. We do not endorse or make guarantees about these third parties and are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your use of their websites or services.

If you choose to register or log in using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer the option to sign up or log in using third-party social media credentials (such as Facebook or Twitter). If you choose to do so, we may receive some of your profile information from the social media platform. The type of information shared with us may vary depending on the platform but typically includes your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, and any other information you’ve made public on that platform.

We will only use the information we collect for the purposes described in this privacy policy or as otherwise made clear to you in our Services.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those platforms to understand how your data is collected, used, and shared, and how you can adjust your privacy settings.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to meet the purposes described in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law (such as for tax, accounting, or legal obligations). We do not keep your personal information beyond the duration of your account with us.

If we no longer have a legitimate business reason to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If immediate deletion is not possible (for example, if the data is stored in backup systems), we will securely store and isolate your personal information until deletion is feasible.

We strive to protect your personal information through a combination of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing it electronically is entirely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized individuals, such as hackers or cybercriminals, will not breach our security and gain access to your information. While we work hard to protect your personal data, transmitting information to and from our Services is at your own risk. We recommend using our Services only within a secure environment.

Depending on your location, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Canada, you may have certain rights to access, control, and manage your personal information. You can review, update, or delete your account at any time.

In specific regions (such as the EEA, UK, and Canada), data protection laws grant you certain rights, including the ability to:

Withdrawing Consent: If we process your personal information based on your consent (whether express or implied), you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of processing performed before the withdrawal, nor does it affect processing based on lawful grounds other than consent.

Opting Out of Marketing: You can opt out of receiving marketing communications by following the unsubscribe link in our emails, replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to SMS messages, or contacting us directly. However, we may still send you non-marketing communications necessary to manage your account or respond to service requests.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Most web browsers accept cookies by default. You can adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies if preferred. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features or services on our platform.

Many web browsers, mobile operating systems, and mobile apps offer a "Do-Not-Track" (DNT) feature, allowing you to indicate that you do not wish to have your online browsing activity tracked. However, no uniform standard for recognizing and responding to DNT signals has been adopted.
