  • Service providers who assist with payment processing, website analytics, and marketing.

  • Legal authorities if required by law.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data. However, no online platform is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

For users that register on our website, we store their personal information in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their information (except username). Website administrators can also edit user details.
