Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract: when processing is necessary to provide the Service you have requested and to fulfill our contractual obligations.
- Legitimate interests: for example, to secure and improve the Service, prevent abuse, and analyze anonymized or aggregated usage data, provided that such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

6. Data sharing and processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with trusted service providers (processors) who help us operate, secure, and improve the Service (for example, hosting providers, authentication providers, email delivery services, analytics tools, or customer support tools). These providers only process personal data on our instructions and under appropriate contractual safeguards.
We may also disclose personal data where required by law, in response to valid legal requests, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
