When you create an account or sign up, we collect your email address, name, and optionally your company name and phone number. This data is used to manage your account, personalize your experience, and enable features such as saving articles and submitting content.

b. Newsletter Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to deliver news updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
