We process personal data for the following purposes under the GDPR. To respond to inquiries and provide customer support, based on our legitimate interests and, where applicable, to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement. To send mailing list communications to subscribers, based on your consent. To operate, secure, and maintain the website, based on our legitimate interests in ensuring availability, integrity, and security.

5. How We Share Personal Data

We may share personal data with service providers that process data on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, spam protection, and IT security providers. We only share personal data to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this policy, and we require appropriate contractual safeguards.

Mailing list data is retained until you unsubscribe or we delete the list, subject to reasonable backup retention.
