  • Account Information: Basic profile data needed to maintain your account, preferences, and subscription status.
  • Usage Analytics: Usage data (pages visited, features used) tied to your account ID to improve our service. We do not send your email or name to analytics providers. Analytics only activate after you consent via the cookie banner.
