2. Categories of Data Collected

We collect only the personal data necessary to deliver our services:

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other commercial third party.

5. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, the transfer is made under Standard Contractual Clauses or to a country covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
