Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the platform (for example Stripe for payments, email delivery, hosting, and messaging providers), and when required by law. Those providers may process data only to perform services for us.

Retention & security

We retain membership, payment, and communication records as needed for operations, accounting, and legal requirements. We use industry-standard safeguards (encrypted connections, access-controlled admin tools, hashed passwords). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
