Promoting Safety and Security

We follow principles of legality, fairness, and transparency, limiting our collection of data to what is necessary and taking both technical and administrative measures to ensure its security. Personal data may be used to verify accounts, monitor suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and investigate violations of our Terms and policies. Such actions are based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a safe and reliable platform.
