For payment processing, we use Dodo Payments. When you make a payment through our Platform, you are providing your payment information directly to Dodo Payments, and their collection and use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. We recommend reviewing Dodo Payments's privacy policy to understand how they handle your payment information.
Our Platform may contain links to other websites or services that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site.
