7. International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EU/EEA, including the United States. When we transfer data outside the EU/EEA, we ensure adequate protection through:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission (Decision 2021/914);

- Adequacy decisions by the European Commission where available;
- Additional supplementary measures as required by the Schrems II ruling (Case C-311/18).
Our primary database is hosted in the EU region (Neon PostgreSQL), minimizing the need for cross-border data transfers.

- Encryption at rest for database storage;

9. Children's Privacy
The Platform is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (US COPPA threshold) or under 16 (GDPR default threshold, may vary by Member State).

We do not track users across third-party websites and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
