Personal Data
Personal Data means information that can directly or indirectly identify an individual, including online identifiers such as IP addresses, search activity, or similar identifiers.

Additional technical data may be collected including timestamps, device specifications, regional and language preferences, and referral information, collected to improve reliability, performance, and user experience.

The Software may also collect search-related information, such as search queries submitted through your default search engine. Such information may be shared with relevant search providers to deliver search results and may be reviewed for identifying non-human or fraudulent activity. Following these processes, search-related data is anonymized and retained only in aggregated form.

To the extent the CCPA applies, you have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights, including by being denied goods or services, charged different prices or rates for goods or services (including through the use of discounts or other benefits or the imposition of penalties), or being suggested that you will receive a different price or rate. You may also have the right to request that your Personal Data not be sold, where applicable.

Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and we may request additional information to verify your identity.

In addition, if you believe there are additional rights not explicitly mentioned above, we encourage you to contact us to request their inclusion.

Personal Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, or maintain an active user relationship. Data may be retained longer where required for legal, regulatory, or dispute-resolution purposes.

In some cases, data may be anonymized or aggregated and will no longer be considered Personal Data.
