  • Monitor and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  • Process payments and send administrative or transactional communications.

Sharing of Information

We may share information as follows:

  • With vendors and service providers that support hosting, analytics, security, and payment processing.
  • With affiliates or successors in the event of a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • With third parties you choose to interact with through the Service.
  • As required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process, or to protect rights, property, or safety.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, session management, analytics, and to improve functionality. You may disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings; however, some parts of the Service may not function properly without required cookies.

Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and context.

Security

We employ commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. No system, however, can guarantee absolute security, and we disclaim liability for unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control.

International Transfers

If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand and consent that your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions with different data protection laws than those of your home country.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have legal rights with respect to your personal data, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing, as well as rights to data portability and to object to certain processing activities. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@modelarea.com. We will verify requests as required by law.

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and related laws, including rights to disclosure, deletion, correction, and opt-out of certain sharing. We do not sell personal information in the conventional sense, and if this changes, we will update this Policy and provide a “Do Not Sell or Share” mechanism.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under eighteen (18). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us to request deletion.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes are effective upon posting. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
