We collect information that your browser sends to us, which is referred to as Log Data. Our internal systems log technical details about access to our platform, which may include IP addresses, browser metadata, pages of our service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other related statistics. To determine the approximate geographic region (e.g., country) associated with your IP address, we may use a third-party service that processes IP addresses solely for this lookup. This is done under our legitimate interest in analytics, abuse prevention, and region-based performance monitoring. These logs are used solely for platform security, abuse prevention, performance diagnostics, and to improve user experience. Our retention policy ensures logs get deleted after at least 6 months. We process technical information (e.g., browser type and country) to detect abuse and automated traffic. User agent data collected for bot detection purposes is automatically deleted after 30 days. We do not build persistent user fingerprints.
