Privacy Policy

Information We Collect and Its Purpose

To better serve our users, we collect different types of information that help us improve functionality and personalization. This includes personal data you provide directly, such as your name, contact information, employment details, and similar identifiers. We also automatically collect information related to your activity on our platform, including visited pages, search history, and usage trends. In certain situations, we may combine this data with information obtained from third-party sources to enhance our services and better understand user preferences. Where feasible, data may be anonymized or aggregated so it cannot be traced back to you. Such non-identifiable data may be used for research, analytics, marketing, and internal business purposes.

Handling of Aggregated Data

We collect and utilize aggregated data for analytical, operational, and business purposes. Such data does not constitute Personal Information, even when derived from it, as it does not disclose or identify individual users. As an example, we may evaluate usage trends to identify the proportion of users engaging with specific site features. If the collection of certain Personal Information is legally required or necessary to fulfill contractual obligations and that information is not provided, we may not be able to deliver related services. This may result in the suspension or termination of services in accordance with our agreement.

We may receive Personal Data, particularly Technical and Usage Information, from third-party providers such as analytics platforms. For business customers, we may combine Business Information you provide with external data sources to improve insights and service effectiveness.
