6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We do not intentionally use this page to collect personal data through advertising or profiling cookies. However, basic cookies or similar technologies
may still be used where they are technically necessary for website functionality, security, hosting, or content delivery.

If third-party services, embedded content, or platform features are added to the site in the future, they may place their own cookies subject to their
own privacy policies.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party platforms such as Facebook, X/Twitter, Discord, or other external websites. If you follow those links,
your information will be handled according to the privacy practices of those third parties, not this website.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data only where necessary with:

• Hosting, email, and technical service providers that help us operate the website and receive enquiries.
• Professional advisers or authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including handling enquiries, maintaining business
records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal, tax, or regulatory obligations.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No internet-based
system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your data, where legally permitted.

This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
