Service Delivery
We use collected data to operate the core functionality of our platform, including account management, communications, and the delivery of any analytical outputs you request.

4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, or communications), when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition. Any such sharing is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.
