4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with third-party service providers only as necessary to provide our services:

Email Service Provider (AWS SES): We use Amazon Web Services Simple Email Service (AWS SES) to send verification emails and newsletters. Your email address is shared with AWS SES solely for this purpose.
Hosting Provider (Firebase/Google Cloud): Our website and backend functions are hosted on Firebase/Google Cloud Platform. They process data on our behalf according to strict data processing agreements.
Analytics Provider (Google Analytics): We share usage data with Google LLC (Google Analytics) for the purpose of analyzing website traffic and user behavior. Google acts as a data processor under our instructions. Google may also use this data according to its own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses.

5. Data Retention

Subscription Data: We retain your email address and subscription status (isSubscribed, verifiedAt) as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. If you unsubscribe, we will stop sending you newsletters and will take steps to anonymize or delete your subscription record within a reasonable timeframe, unless we are legally required to retain it longer.
Verification Tokens: Temporary verification tokens (doubleOptInToken) are deleted immediately upon successful email verification or after a reasonable period if verification is not completed.
Usage Data (Google Analytics): Aggregated and anonymized usage data collected via Google Analytics is retained for 14 months to allow for trend analysis. After this period, user-level and event-level data is automatically deleted from Analytics servers.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. This includes using HTTPS for data transmission, secure cloud infrastructure (Firebase/Google Cloud), and controlling access to data through mechanisms like Firebase Security Rules. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
