6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share your data with:

• Service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics). They are bound by contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

• Legal authorities if required by law or to protect our rights.

7. International Data Transfers
Hostinger and WordPress may process or store analytics data on servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When such transfers occur, we ensure they are protected by appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
