11. Data Security
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards (access controls, role separation, transport security, logging, and monitoring). No method of transmission or storage is guaranteed 100% secure.
12. International Transfers
Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. We use appropriate safeguards when required by law.

The platform is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate authorization.

Before deletion, we verify identity for security. After processing, account profile data is removed or anonymized. Some records may be retained where required for legal, tax, financial, fraud prevention, and dispute-resolution obligations.
