1. Introduction and Scope

Welcome to our website (the "Site"). We believe in being transparent about how we operate. Because this Site is free to use, we rely on advertising revenue to maintain our services.

This Privacy Policy explains how your data is collected, used, and shared, and how we protect it. This policy applies to anyone accessing our Site or interacting with our Services.

We share device identifiers, cookies, and usage data with third-party advertising partners, including Google, to serve ads.

Under certain laws (such as the CCPA/CPRA), this type of data sharing may be considered "selling" or "sharing" for advertising purposes.
