Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data based on specific legal grounds:

• Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data. Our legitimate interests include improving our services, marketing our services, preventing fraud, and ensuring the security of our online platform.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with third parties in limited circumstances, including:

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
