  • Email activity: whether our emails are delivered, opened, and which links are clicked.
  • Usage information: pages visited, time spent reading, device and browser type, and the referring site, collected with cookies and similar technologies.
  • Messages you send us.

  • to process payments and prevent fraud;

  • to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
