Depending on your location, we may process personal information based on your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate business interests, or protection of users and the Platform.

5. Sharing Information

We do not sell your personal information.

Service Providers — Trusted vendors that help us operate Osserpse, such as providers for cloud hosting, authentication, analytics, customer support, email delivery, security, and payment processing (if applicable). These providers may only process information on our behalf and in accordance with applicable agreements.

Many features of Osserpse are public by design. Information such as questions, answers, comments, polls, usernames, and public profile information may be visible to other users and may be indexed by search engines.

Please consider this before posting information publicly.

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform, maintain security, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Backup copies may remain for a limited period after deletion.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect your information. These measures may include encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, access controls, security monitoring, fraud detection, and regular software updates.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information
