3. Analytics and Advertising Measurement

We use analytics to understand usage and improve the Service. We may also use advertising measurement tools to understand marketing effectiveness. For example, the web app includes Vercel Analytics and X (Twitter) pixel conversion tracking in production.

Depending on configuration and your actions, these tools may collect or receive information about your visit and interactions.

  • Service providers that help operate the Service (for example, email delivery providers and infrastructure providers).
  • Analytics and advertising measurement providers (for example, Vercel Analytics and X pixel), as described above.
  • Legal and safety disclosures when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity.
  • Business transfers in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods depend on the data type and context.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
