International Data Transfers

The Service is operated from the United States, and your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States and other countries that may have data protection laws that are different from those in your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data when it is transferred internationally, such as by relying on standard contractual clauses or other lawful mechanisms.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Service, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. The specific retention period may vary depending on the type of data and the context in which it was collected.

We may also anonymize or aggregate information so that it no longer identifies you, in which case we may use such information for legitimate business purposes without further notice to you.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to access, correct, update, or delete your information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can access and update certain account information directly through the Service. To exercise additional rights, you may contact us using the contact information provided below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

The Service is not directed to children and is intended for use by adults, such as licensed professionals and trainees.
