We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes above and to meet legal/accounting obligations. When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No system is 100% secure. Use strong, unique passwords and avoid sending sensitive data over unsecured channels.
Our Services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
We are U.S.-based. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States (and other countries) with different data laws. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards or your consent.
