9. Email and Communication Compliance

Our platform enables automated customer communication. You agree to send lawful and non-spam communications, include proper identification and opt-out mechanisms, and respect unsubscribe requests. We may suspend accounts that violate these rules.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside your jurisdiction. We use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and trusted infrastructure providers where appropriate.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing. End users should contact the business (our customer) directly for requests relating to their data.
