Our Cookie Policy

We respect your privacy and use cookies primarily for essential platform functionality. Our site may use cookies to maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and ensure proper platform operation. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites.

Third-Party Services

We may rely on GDPR-compliant third-party services to help process data for authentication, analytics, and platform functionality. This may include services for user authentication (e.g., Google OAuth), analytics, and content delivery. We encourage you to review their privacy policies for additional details.

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information, including secure authentication, encrypted connections, and access controls. Please keep in mind that while we strive to secure your data, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information, though some data may be retained for legal compliance or legitimate business purposes (such as preventing fraud). Publicly visible launch information may remain on the platform unless you specifically request its removal.
