- Analyze traffic and trends using analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics)

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use your data. Lifewhims only works with reputable vendors that meet global privacy standards.

You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 8).
6. Data Protection and Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no data transmission online is 100% secure — please use the internet mindfully.
