3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share data with:

  • Service Providers (e.g. hosting, email, analytics, CDN) under confidentiality agreements.

  • Legal Authorities: In response to lawful requests, subpoenas, or court orders, or to prevent harm or fraud.

  • Analytics and Logs: Retained for up to 24 months for performance and security, unless longer retention is needed legally.

6. Security Measures

We follow industry-standard practices to protect your data:

  • HTTPS encryption for data in transit.

  • Secure password hashing (e.g. bcrypt).

  • Access controls, periodic security audits, patch updates.

  • Database and file system backups.

  • Use of firewall, intrusion detection systems, and rate limiting to prevent abuse.

However, no system is 100% secure — we can’t guarantee absolute protection.
