Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on one or more of the following: performance of a contract with you, compliance with a legal obligation, your consent, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist in operating our platform, such as identity verification, hosting, and payment processing providers, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
