3. How We Share Your Information
| Recipient | Purpose | Safeguards |
|---|---|---|
| Service Providers | Hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, customer support | Bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements |
| Advertising & Analytics Partners | Serve interest-based ads and measure performance (e.g., Google AdSense, Google Analytics) | Receive only pseudonymous identifiers unless you provide additional consent |
| Affiliates / Business Transfers | Internal business operations or as part of a merger, sale, or acquisition | Recipients must honor this Policy or provide equivalent protection |
| Legal & Compliance | Respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes; protect rights or safety | Disclosure limited to what the law requires |
We do not sell your Personal Data for money. Some jurisdictions (e.g., California) may view the sharing of pseudonymous advertising IDs as a “sale” or “share.” See Section 6.2 for your opt-out rights.
4. Data Retention
We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law (e.g., taxation, accounting, or legal obligations).

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as HTTPS encryption, firewalls, and limited-access controls—to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
