We share your information only in specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards. This includes sharing with trusted service providers who help us operate our platform, such as email service providers and analytics tools.

We may disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights and property, or in connection with a business transfer. In all cases, we ensure recipients maintain appropriate security measures and use your data only for specified purposes.
