It further outlines the options at your disposal concerning our use of your Personal Information and provides information on accessing and updating this data. It’s important to note that this policy does not extend to the practices of companies outside our ownership or control, nor does it encompass individuals not under our employment or management.
Automatic Collection of Information
When you visit the website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This data may encompass details such as your device’s IP address, browser type and version, operating system type and version, language preferences, or the webpage you were visiting before coming to our website. It also includes the pages of our website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our website, access times and dates, and other statistical information.
Collection of Personal Information
You have the option to visit the website without disclosing your identity or providing any information that could personally identify you. If, however, you intend to use certain features of the website, you may be required to provide specific Personal Information, such as your name and email address. Any information you knowingly provide, when creating an account, publishing content, or filling out online forms on the website, is received and stored by us.
This information, when necessary, may include your email address, name, phone number, address, or other Personal Information. While it is your choice not to provide us with your Personal Information, doing so may limit your ability to utilize certain features of the website. Users unsure about which information is mandatory are encouraged to contact us for clarification.
Managing Personal Information
You have the ability to access, add, update, and delete specific Personal Information about yourself. The information available for viewing, updating, and deleting may be subject to change as the website or services evolve. When you modify information, we may retain a copy of the unchanged information in our records. Certain information may persist in our private records even after you delete it from your account. We will retain and utilize your Personal Information for the duration necessary to adhere to our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, unless a longer retention period is mandated or permitted by law.
Any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information, after you update or delete it, may be used, but not in a manner that personally identifies you. Following the expiration of the retention period, Personal Information will be deleted. Consequently, the rights of access, erasure, rectification, and data portability cannot be enforced after the retention period lapses.

Automatically collected information is primarily used to identify potential instances of abuse and generate statistical insights into website usage. This statistical information is not aggregated in a manner that identifies any specific user of the system.
We may process your Personal Information under the following circumstances:
- Consent: You have provided consent for one or more specific purposes. Note that, under certain legislations, we may process information until you object to such processing (by opting out), particularly under European data protection law.
