I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
Personal Information includes information that can be used to identify you, such as your email address, name, date of birth, username, password, and any optional profile information you choose to provide (such as gender).
Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, aggregated demographic information, referring and exit pages and URLs, platform types, device information, preferences submitted by you or generated based on your activity, and interaction data such as page views and clicks.
1. Information Collected via Technology
To activate the Service, you are required to submit certain Personal Information, including your email address, name, date of birth, username, and password. After registration, you are not required to submit additional Personal Information unless you choose to do so.
In an effort to improve the quality of the Service, we automatically collect certain information when you visit or use the Service, including:
- the website you came from (the “referring URL”)
- browser type and version
- device type, operating system, and screen resolution
- time and date of access
- pages viewed, features used, and interactions with the Service
We collect this information using cookies, which are small text files containing an anonymous unique identifier that are sent to your browser and stored on your device. Cookies enable us to recognize your browser, collect Non-Personal Information, and remember your preferences when using the Service, both individually and in aggregate.
Cookies may be used to collect the following information:

We use both persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until deleted, while session cookies expire when you close your browser. For example, we use persistent cookies to remember your login preferences and keep you signed in between visits.
We may also use third-party analytics services that place cookies or similar technologies to help analyze how users interact with the Service and to improve performance and functionality.

To become a user of the Service, you must create an account by registering with your email address and creating a username and password.

Certain information you choose to include in your profile or content you post through the Service may be visible to other users or the public, depending on your privacy settings and the nature of the content.
3. Children’s Privacy
The Site and Service are not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13, nor do we knowingly allow such individuals to register for the Service.

Non-Personal Information
We use Non-Personal Information to analyze usage patterns, improve the Service, and customize the user experience.

Your account is protected by a password, and you are responsible for maintaining its confidentiality. We encourage you to log out of your account after each session.
While we use security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and secure socket layer (SSL) technology, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept these inherent risks.
