We may receive information about your purchase, subscription status, transaction and entitlement in order to provide the purchased service.

Our website and app may use cookies, analytics technologies and similar tools to operate our services, understand usage, measure performance and improve STAN.
Where required by law, non essential cookies and similar tracking technologies will only be used after you have provided consent.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide STAN, fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and comply with legal, accounting or regulatory obligations.
If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise associated personal information where required, unless we have a legitimate or legal reason to retain certain information.
