  • Send service-related notices (e.g., policy changes, security updates, important operational messages).
  • Send marketing communications if you opt in (you can opt out at any time).
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents, and enforce our Terms.
  • Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

4) Legal bases (where required)

Depending on the context and applicable law, we process personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, performance of a contract (e.g., delivering a purchased package), compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests (e.g., running and securing our business), provided they do not override your rights.

5) How we share personal data

We may share personal data with:

  • Payment processors: to process e-payments and prevent fraud.
  • Service providers: hosting, email delivery, analytics, CRM, customer support tools, and other vendors we use to operate the Website and Services.
  • Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, auditors (as needed and subject to confidentiality).
  • Authorities: where required to comply with law, court order, or lawful request.
  • Business transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets (subject to appropriate safeguards).

We do not sell your personal data as a business model.

6) International data transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than where you reside (for example, where our service providers operate). When we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to apply appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.

7) Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, measure performance, and understand how visitors use our pages.
