4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, including payment processing, data analytics, email delivery, hosting, and customer support. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to provide services to us.

DFS Platform Partners

Our Service contains affiliate links to DFS contest platforms. If you click an affiliate link and create an account or deposit funds, we may receive a commission. The DFS platform's own privacy policy governs information you provide directly to that platform.

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information where required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency), or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 90 days, except where we are required to retain certain data for legal, fraud prevention, or regulatory purposes.

6. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. These include encryption in transit (TLS), hashed password storage, and access controls limiting employee access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are small files placed on your device. 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, some parts of our Service may not function properly.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: necessary for the Service to function, including authentication and session management.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors interact with the Service (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Preference cookies: remember your settings and preferences.
• Marketing cookies: used to track visitors across websites for advertising purposes. We may use these in connection with affiliate partnerships.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites and services, including DFS platform partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. Our Service uses Google Analytics to analyze usage. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our servers promptly.
