We use your information to operate and improve the platform, authenticate users, personalize your feed and recommendations, maintain security, prevent abuse, analyze performance, and send important service communications.

3. Legal Bases

Where required by law, we process data on one or more legal bases: contract performance, legitimate interests, legal obligations, and consent for optional features.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and similar browser storage technologies for session management, authentication, security, preferences, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not function correctly if disabled.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so users should also protect their account credentials.
