How often is this privacy policy updated?

Our commitment to Privacy by Design ensures we continuously improve our practices to eliminate deceptive patterns.

Do you collect data from children?

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Our services are not directed to children, and we have implemented age verification mechanisms to prevent underage data collection.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we take steps to remove that information promptly.

Yes, you can withdraw your consent at any time through your account settings or by contacting our privacy team. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We make consent management easy through our user-friendly interface, following best practices for website design in 2023.

We notify users of material changes to our privacy policy through multiple channels:
