  • User agent — your browser type and version, collected as part of session management.
  • Usage data — pages visited and features used, collected through standard server logs.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Session data (IP address, user agent) is retained for security purposes and may be periodically purged. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except as required by law.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls.
