We use your information to respond to your requests, to provide, secure, and enhance the Services, and to comply with our legal obligations. In particular, Tilf.io uses your information for the following purposes as necessary and as permitted by applicable law:
We may also compile statistical or anonymized, non-personally identifiable information and use or transfer such information for any purposes; provided, however, that such data has been fully de-identified and cannot in any way be traced back to the customer or user and does not contain any personally identifiable information. We may also use such anonymized information to help train our AI models or use aggregated information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services.
Third-Party Online Analytics Services
In connection with our Website and emails, we may use third-party online analytics services, such as those of Google Analytics.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials and passwords secure and not allowing others to use your account.
