- enforce our Terms and security rules,

- establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, where applicable.
5. Payments
We may process card payments through Stripe.
We may process crypto-related payment flows through a self-hosted BTCPay Server environment operated by us.
Payment initiation does not itself create entitlement. We may use payment records, invoice state, webhook data, dispute records, and redemption data to determine access status and enforce billing rules.
6. Service Providers and Recipients
We may share relevant data with service providers and recipients that support operation of the Platform, such as:
- Convex for backend infrastructure and data services
- Stripe for payment processing
- self-hosted BTCPay Server infrastructure operated by us for crypto payment handling
- Resend for email delivery
- PostHog Cloud EU for analytics, if enabled
- Sentry for error monitoring and diagnostics, if enabled
- hosting, DNS, security, and operational providers where required for Platform operation
We may also disclose data:
- where required by law,
- to respond to legal process,
- to protect rights, safety, or security,
- in connection with fraud prevention, dispute handling, or legal claims.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for:
- authentication,
- session management,
- security,
- Platform functionality,
- analytics and performance measurement.
Some cookies may be strictly necessary for operation of the Platform. Others may be used for analytics or service improvement where implemented.
8. Retention
We retain data for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including:
- account data: while your account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward where needed for security, legal compliance, or claims
- payment and accounting records: for as long as required by applicable tax, accounting, or legal obligations
- support tickets and forum content: until deleted, removed, or no longer needed, subject to legal, security, moderation, or claims-related retention needs
- audit and security logs: for as long as reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, abuse detection, enforcement, security, and legal claims
We may retain certain data longer where required or justified by law, fraud prevention, dispute handling, or legal defense.
9. International Transfers
Because the Platform is offered globally, some service providers or infrastructure may process data outside your country of residence.
Where required by law, we take appropriate steps to protect personal data transferred internationally.
10. Your Rights

These rights may be limited where legal exemptions apply or where retention is necessary for legal, security, or fraud-prevention reasons.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data, account integrity, and operational security.
No system can be guaranteed fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Community and Public Content
Information you choose to publish in community areas may be visible to other users depending on your profile, permissions, and content visibility settings.
We may moderate or remove content in accordance with our rules and operational needs.
