2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

3. Payment Processing

We use Stripe, a trusted third-party payment processor, to securely handle all payment transactions on our platform. When you provide payment information:

• Your payment details are encrypted and securely transmitted directly to Stripe using industry-standard encryption technology.
• We do not store your full credit card details on our servers. Instead, we receive and store a token or identifier from Stripe that allows us to process future transactions without handling your sensitive payment information.
• Billing information and transaction records are retained for legal and accounting purposes in accordance with applicable regulations.

Stripe's handling of your payment information is governed by their own privacy policy and terms of service. We encourage you to review these documents on Stripe's website.

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include:

• Encryption of sensitive data both in transit and at rest
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing
• Access controls and authentication requirements
• Monitoring for suspicious activities
• Employee training on data protection best practices

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to external parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We may share information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you (such as payment processors, cloud hosting providers, and customer support tools).
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or other legal process, or if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the business assets.
