Grounds for data collection 

The processing of your personal information (meaning any information that may reasonably allow your identification; hereinafter "Personal Information") is necessary for fulfilling our contractual obligations to you, delivering our services, protecting our legitimate interests, and complying with legal and financial regulatory requirements to which we are subject.

This may include aggregated usage data and technical details transmitted by your device, such as browser type, operating system, language preference, access times, and general device information. We may also collect data related to your activity on the Site, such as pages visited, clicks, actions, and browsing behavior.

The second type is Personal Information—individually identifiable information that identifies or may, with reasonable effort, identify an individual. This includes:

Device Information: We collect Personal Information from your device, including geolocation data, IP address, unique device identifiers (such as MAC address and UUID), and other information related to your activity on the Site.

Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and similar technologies in connection with our services, including when you visit our Site or access our content.

A "cookie" is a small data file that a website assigns to your device while you are browsing.

They also help display ads tailored to your interests and provide statistical insights into your usage of the Site.

The Site uses the following types of cookies:

a. Session cookies – stored temporarily during your browsing session and deleted when your browser is closed. These are essential for the basic operation of the Site.

b. Persistent cookies – saved on your device for a fixed duration and not deleted after the browser is closed. These allow us to remember you on subsequent visits and store your preferences.

c. Third-party cookies – placed by external services that display content on our Site, such as analytics providers that track and report on site usage.

Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information, but we may link data stored in cookies to the Personal Information you provide us.

Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.


Third party collection of information

Our policy only governs the use and disclosure of information collected directly from you. If you disclose your information to other parties or websites across the internet, their use and disclosure of your information will be subject to their own privacy policies and practices. We strongly encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third party to whom you choose to provide information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of entities we do not own or control, or to individuals we do not employ or manage, including any third parties to whom we may disclose information as described in this policy.


How do we safeguard your information?

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Site and your information. We employ industry-standard procedures and policies to protect the data we collect and store, and to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. This includes the use of secure servers, encrypted communications, and restricted access controls. We also require any third-party service providers handling personal information on our behalf to adhere to similar security standards, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

While we take reasonable measures to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, and we are not responsible for the actions of individuals who gain such access or misuse the Site. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding our ability to prevent such incidents.


Transfer of data outside the EEA 

Please note that some data recipients may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, we will transfer your data only to countries that have been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, or we will enter into legally binding agreements to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.
