Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences, keep sessions active, and measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers (e.g., hosting, email delivery) strictly to operate the Service, under appropriate safeguards.

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
