8. Security Measures
We employ physical, administrative, and technical safeguards (e.g., encryption, restricted access, secure servers) to protect personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, alteration, or disclosure.

9. Third-Party Links & Features
The Marketplace or our Site may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, or apps. By clicking those links, you may enable third parties to collect data about you.

We disclaim liability for any unauthorized or unlawful use of data by these third parties or any persons not under our direct control.
10. International & Multi-Jurisdiction Privacy Rights

Potential reputational or emotional harm if personal data is misused;
