Your continued use of our services constitutes acknowledgement of these international transfers.

Material modifications trigger notification through prominent website announcements or direct communication. Continued platform usage following changes indicates acceptance of revised terms.
We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about our current practices.
