3. How We Share Your Information
| Recipient | Purpose | Safeguards |
| Service Providers | Hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, customer support. | Bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements. |
| Advertising & Analytics Partners | Serve interest-based ads and measure site performance (e.g., Google AdSense, Google Analytics). | Receive only pseudonymous identifiers unless you provide additional consent. |
| Affiliates / Business Transfers | Internal business operations or as part of a merger, sale, or acquisition of our assets. | Recipients must honor this Policy or provide equivalent data protection. |

We do not sell your Personal Data for money. Some jurisdictions (e.g., California) may define the sharing of pseudonymous advertising IDs as a “sale” or “share.” Please see Section 6.2 for your right to opt-out.
4. Data Retention
We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., for taxation, accounting, or other legal obligations).
5. Security
We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as HTTPS encryption, firewalls, and limited-access controls—to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
