All third-party providers we use are selected based on their commitment to data security and privacy compliance. We regularly review their practices to ensure alignment with our standards.

5) International Data Transfers

Active Man operates primarily from Azerbaijan. However, some of our service providers may process data in other jurisdictions. When we transfer your personal data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

• Cookie data is managed according to your browser settings and our cookie retention periods.

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it using industry-standard methods.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing of our platform.
