Privacy Policy

[Your platform’s name] (hereafter, “the Platform”) provides this Privacy Policy regarding all our services. This policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose the information we receive when you use our services. All terms used in this Privacy Policy that are not defined here have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Use.
This Policy is updated occasionally to reflect changes in our information practices. When this happens, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date. By using our Platform, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and any modifications.
1. Collection of Information

We collect the information you provide directly when you use our Platform.
If you are a user (consumer): When registering to leave a review, comment on our blog, or subscribe to our newsletter, you may provide personal information such as your name, email address, and password.

1.2 Payment Information
To process payments for annual subscriptions, we use third-party payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe. We do not store your credit or debit card information directly on our servers.

This data helps us manage, maintain, and improve the Platform. We also use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) that collect usage data on our behalf, under their own privacy policies.
Social Networks: If you access the Platform through a social network or connect your account, we may access certain public profile data (name, photo, etc.), in accordance with the permissions you grant.
