2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use our service, certain technical information may be collected automatically:

This data is temporarily cached on our servers for up to 6 hours to improve performance and reduce costs.
• Usage Data: Standard web server logs may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited.
