We also automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device information, and pages viewed. This information helps us analyze trends, administer the Site, track user movement, and gather demographic information.

Cookies & Tracking
Stempin uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage) to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and deliver targeted advertising where applicable. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser.
We may use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted). You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site.
We also use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) that set their own cookies. These services help us understand how visitors use the Site. For more information, see the "Third-Party Services" section.
Third-Party Services
We may engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, advertising, payment processing (if any), and customer support. These providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they are contractually obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
We use services such as Google Analytics, Mailchimp (or similar email marketing platforms), and social media widgets. These third parties may collect information directly from you through cookies or other tracking mechanisms, subject to their own privacy policies.
We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal data.

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances: - With your consent or at your direction. - To comply with legal obligations, such as a court order, subpoena, or governmental request. - To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others. - In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets (you will be notified via email or prominent notice on the Site of any change in ownership or use of your information).
We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information publicly or with partners for analytics or marketing.
International Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where our servers and service providers are located. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
When we transfer your data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your information is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law, such as entering into Standard Contractual Clauses with recipients or relying on adequacy decisions.
