This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. We aim to comply with applicable data protection laws, including considering principles from regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a standard for best practice, alongside Mexican data protection laws.

1. Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Below are the types of data we collect:

    • Payment Information: When you make a purchase, your payment is processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We do not directly collect or store your full credit card or debit card numbers. Stripe may collect information necessary to process your payment, and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

    • We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.

  • Legal Obligations: We may process your data if necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
