Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how CuttingAge ("CuttingAge," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use our websites, applications, and services in the United States. It also describes additional rights available to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), as amended.

Sources of information: We collect personal information directly from you, automatically from your device when you use our services through cookies and similar technologies, and from service providers and partners that help us operate and improve our services.
Location information: If you choose "Use my location," your browser may share location coordinates. You can always type a city or ZIP code instead.

How we share information
We share personal information only as described in this policy.

We also do not use third party advertising pixels on our consumer facing services.
- Service providers and contractors: We share information with trusted vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, storage, security, and customer support, and they may use personal information only as instructed by us.

Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enable essential site functions, remember your preferences, and measure performance and usage in a limited way to understand how our services are used and keep them reliable. We currently do not use cookies or similar technologies for targeted advertising or cross site tracking. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using non essential cookies.
Data retention
We keep personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may retain certain logs and security data for longer periods where required or permitted by law.
Your choices and rights (United States)
You can update certain account information in your account settings where available, control cookies through your browser settings and any available cookie tools, and contact us to ask questions or exercise your privacy rights. If you are a California resident, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, request details about sources, purposes, and disclosures, request that we limit the use and disclosure of certain sensitive personal information if we collect it, and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To exercise these rights, you or your authorized agent can contact us through our Contact page or at [privacy email]. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, you can also reach us at support@cuttingage.co.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
CuttingAge is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where required, provide additional notice, such as by posting a notice on our website.
