5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, tax, or regulatory purposes. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe.

8. Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), hashed session tokens, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
Sigils Of The Aeon is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
10. International Data Transfers
Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing the platform from the EU/EEA or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission to ensure adequate protection for such transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, by notifying you via email or a prominent notice on the site.
