11. Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Service collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use The Platform. By using The Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
We collect various types of information in connection with the services we provide, including Log Data, which is information that your browser sends whenever you visit The Platform. This may include your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
Personal Data is information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, and phone number. We may collect this information when you register for an account, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us for support.
Cookies & Tracking: The Service uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to monitor activity on The Platform and store certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of The Service.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ('Service Providers'), provide the Service on our behalf, perform Service-related services, or assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
The Platform may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children's Privacy: Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

12. DMCA
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides a mechanism for copyright owners to protect their works online. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide The Service with a written notice containing the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on The Platform; (iv) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, The Service will take appropriate action to remove or disable access to the infringing material. The Service may also notify the user who posted the material of the DMCA notice. If you believe that your material has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to The Service. To be effective, a counter-notice must include your physical or electronic signature, identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, and your contact information.
The DMCA provides a 'Safe Harbor' provision that protects service providers from liability for infringing content posted by users, provided that the service provider complies with the DMCA's notice-and-takedown requirements. This means that The Service is not liable for user-generated content unless it has actual knowledge of the infringing activity or is 'willfully blind' to it. However, The Service must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing material upon receiving a valid DMCA notice.
It is important to note that misrepresenting material or activity as infringing may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with legal counsel before submitting a DMCA notice or counter-notice.
