This is typically via contact forms or direct communication.
- Technical Data: Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain information when you visit our online platform, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This data helps us understand how users interact with our service and improve its functionality. This information is generally aggregated and anonymized.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

4. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
5. Data Retention
