We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or loss.

If we introduce accounts, we will update this Privacy Policy to explain what new data is collected and why.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, if we change providers, add features, or transition to a different legal entity structure). We will post the updated version on our website and update the “Effective date”.
