2.2 Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device. Like many websites, we use cookies to be able to make our platform work.

We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking or statistical purposes.

We try to keep logging to a minimum, which is why we only store the following types of logs: session data (to keep you logged in), sent emails, and activity related to account security.
2.4 Advertising Data
As we are not in the advertising business, we do not process your data for advertising purposes. Neither do we use third-party services to provide personalized content.
2.5 Children and Data
We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, please do not submit any personal information through our platform. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's internet usage and to help enforce this policy by instructing their children to never provide personal information through our platform without their permission.
2.6 Information Security
While it's a common statement, we do care about the security of the data you share with us. Our platform uses the latest security measures and techniques to protect your data in-transit. When we store your data, we take reasonable steps to help protect your personal information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
It is your responsibility to protect your usernames and passwords to help prevent anyone from accessing or abusing your account. We are not responsible for any damage that occurs to your account whilst using our platform for negligence on your behalf.

This Privacy Policy is not intended to limit any legal defenses you may have against any third-party's, including the government's, request to disclose your data.
