3.1 Google User Data

If you choose to sign in using your Google account, we will access and use certain information from your Google profile, including your name, email address, and profile picture, in order to create and manage your account on our service.

We do not access, store, or share any other data from your Google account.

You can control cookies via your browser settings or by opting-out of the individual third party tools, eg via Google Ads Settings.

5. User Reviews and Moderation

Reviews you post are visible to the public. Your identity is hidden other than to us.

You can edit or delete your own reviews at any time.

We reserve the right to remove reviews that violate our guidelines.

8. Data Retention

We retain data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above. You may at any time request deletion of your data, at which time we will delete your personal information and retain only the information required by applicable law.

9. International Users

We're based in the United States but welcome users worldwide, with some exceptions. By using our site, you agree that your data may be processed in and transferred to the U.S. and other countries, where privacy laws may differ.
