5.1 EU / UK (GDPR)

Our legal bases for processing are: (a) performance of a contract (operating the Service for you); (b) legitimate interests (security, fraud-prevention, basic analytics); (c) consent (e.g. the weekly dispatch subscription); (d) legal obligation. You may contact our representative at [EU/UK REP DETAILS].

5.2 California (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. California residents may exercise the rights listed in Section 5 above; we will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

6. Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to support audits, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Backup copies may persist for up to 90 days after deletion.

7. Security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, row-level security in our database, and access controls. No system is perfect; we will notify you of any material breach affecting your data within the time required by law.

8. Children

The Service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
