- Enabling a legally recognized opt-out signal, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), where supported
We honor opt-out preference signals, including GPC, as required by applicable law.

How long we keep information
We keep personal information for as long as needed to:

How long we keep information depends on what it is, why we collected it, and whether you still have an active account.
How we protect information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.
No system is perfectly secure, but we take information protection seriously.
International users
We operate from the United States. If you are outside the U.S., your information may be processed and stored in the U.S. or other countries where we or our service providers operate.
Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.
