Communication and Support: We maintain open communication with affected individuals, providing ongoing updates as we address the breach. We offer support and guidance to help them protect their personal information and minimize potential harm resulting from the breach.
Review and Improvement: After resolving the breach, we conduct a comprehensive review of the incident to identify lessons learned and areas for improvement.

What Automated Decision-Making and/or Profiling We Do with User Data
We may use automated decision-making processes and profiling to enhance our services and provide a more personalized experience for our users. Here’s how we apply these techniques:

- Examples:
- Personalized Marketing: Using profiling to segment our audience and deliver personalized marketing messages, such as targeted email campaigns or customized content recommendations.
- Behavioral Analysis: Analyzing user interactions with our website and services to identify patterns and trends, which allows us to refine our offerings and improve user experience.
