– Legitimate Interests: To operate and improve our website and provide services, where our interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
– Compliance with Legal Obligations: When required to fulfill statutory duties, such as maintaining transaction records or responding to lawful requests.
Under CCPA, we endeavor to ensure that you may opt out of sales of your personal information (we do not sell personal data), have access to what information we hold, and may request deletion of such data.

Where we transfer personal data internationally, we do so in compliance with GDPR, including the use of European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses and other lawful instruments ensuring an equivalent level of data protection.
For individuals in California or jurisdictions with similar standards, we ensure that data transfers outside your geographic region comply with local requirements and provide appropriate oversight.
