Some of our third-party providers are based outside the EEA, primarily in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — specifically, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
As a data subject under GDPR, you have the right to: access your personal data; correct inaccurate data; request erasure (you can delete your account via Settings → Delete Account); restrict processing; data portability; object to processing based on legitimate interests; and withdraw consent at any time.
