We do not sell personal information. We only share information in the following situations:
4.1 With Your Organization

4.4 With Your Consent
If we want to use your identifiable personal information or content for marketing (such as a testimonial), we will ask for permission first. We may use anonymized, de-identified content without additional consent.
5. Data Protection for Minors

7. Data Storage & Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to secure your data, including encrypted connections, secure hosting providers, access controls, regular audits, and limiting internal access to necessary personnel. However, no system is completely secure, and you accept this risk by using the Platform.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We retain information as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, support outcomes, and maintain accounts. Organizations may request deletion of User data after their contract ends.
