Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways to provide and improve our services. When you create an account or register with us, we collect personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, and business information if applicable.

We may also use your information to send you service updates, respond to your inquiries, and provide customer support. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share limited information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering services, subject to confidentiality agreements.
