Third Party Service Providers

We use trusted third-party service providers for hosting, payments, email delivery, and data storage. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to provide their services to us. We do not sell or share your data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all personal data is permanently deleted within 24 hours. Our payment processor may retain transaction records for legal compliance purposes independent of your account deletion.

Cookies

We use only essential cookies to maintain your login session and preferences. We do not use advertising, tracking, or third-party cookies. Disabling cookies in your browser will prevent you from staying logged in.
