We do not sell personal data in the ordinary sense of selling customer lists or identifiable personal information for unrelated third-party marketing.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to keep the Service working, remember preferences, measure usage, and improve performance. We may also use these technologies to understand whether marketing campaigns are effective. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the Service may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

7. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and maintain legitimate business records. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, the user relationship, legal requirements, and operational needs. When data is no longer needed, we will delete it or de-identify it, where appropriate.

8. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot promise absolute security. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and using secure devices and networks.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

access the personal data we hold about you;
correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
delete your personal data;
object to or restrict certain processing;
withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent;

The Service is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

12. Third-party links and services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, services, or integrations, including Telegram and payment providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review those policies before using third-party services.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Effective date” above. Your continued use of the Service after the update becomes effective means you accept the revised policy.
