5. Data Security
We implement reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no online platform can guarantee absolute security, and you use the Platform at your own risk. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials.
6. Third-Party Interactions
The Platform connects users but does not oversee their interactions or transactions. Any personal information you share with other users (e.g., in listings or messages) is at your discretion, and we are not liable for how it is used by others. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience; their privacy practices are not under our control.
