2. How We Use Your Data
We use data solely to operate and improve the Service: to provide and maintain the Service, to notify you about changes, to offer support, to detect and prevent technical issues or misuse, to improve reliability and performance, and to process shop registrations and authentication. We do not sell personal data. We do not build marketing profiles of users.
