User Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal data. We describe common rights below. If you are located in a jurisdiction with specific privacy laws, those rights may be broader or different.

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and, where applicable, receive a copy in a commonly used machine-readable format for portability purposes.

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information. You can also update certain information directly through your account settings or by using site features that allow edits.
3. Deletion and Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions where we are required to retain data for legal, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes (for example, to complete transactions, prevent fraud, or maintain records required by law).

Even if you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional messages related to transactions, service updates, security alerts, or other necessary communications.
To exercise any of these rights, please use the account tools and privacy settings on the site, or the designated privacy preference controls where available. We may require information to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests and may respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. Note that we may deny requests that are frivolous, excessive, or where fulfilling them would violate the rights of others or applicable law.
