We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide when you register for an account, interact with our platform, or contact us. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, contact details, payment information, and usage data (such as IP address and browser type).

These third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and are not allowed to use your data for any other purposes.
