4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use third-party services that process data on our behalf, including Cloudflare (hosting, CDN, and analytics) and Supabase (authentication and database). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AnswrTrack, our users, or the public.
• Affiliate Links: Our website contains affiliate links to third-party poker rooms and platforms. When you click these links, you are directed to the third-party's website, which operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit. We do not control and are not responsible for the data practices of these third-party sites.

5. Data Retention

• Account Data: Forum account information is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed from our active systems within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS encryption. Authentication is handled through Supabase, which provides secure password hashing, token-based session management, and row-level security policies.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously monitor and update our practices to minimize risk.
