We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party companies that help us operate our platform (e.g., hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics platforms, payment processors). These partners access your data only as necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to maintain its confidentiality.
• With Other Users (by your choice): Profile information you make public — such as your name, photo, interests, and location — is visible to other users on the platform. You control your privacy settings.

5 Data Security

The security of your personal information is a top priority for us. We implement a range of industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

• All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols
• Passwords are hashed using strong, one-way cryptographic algorithms — we never store your password in plain text
• Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with physical and network-level protections
• We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Access to personal data is restricted to employees and contractors who need it to perform their job functions
• We have incident response procedures in place to handle potential data breaches promptly

While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account and to log out when using shared devices.
