Legal Basis for Processing (For EEA Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information depends on the specific information and the context in which we collect it:

  • Payment Information: Transaction records are kept for accounting and tax purposes as required by law, but complete payment details are not stored by us (they are handled by Stripe).

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy and take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as required by applicable law.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet-based service can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to remove the information.
