  • From Third Parties: From payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), analytics providers, or marketing partners, when you interact with our Services or linked third-party services.
  • User Consent: Before collecting personal data, we display privacy notices and require affirmative action (e.g., checking an “I Agree” box) to obtain your explicit consent, ensuring compliance with GDPR and CCPA.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide, improve, and personalize our Services. Specific purposes include:
