4. Third-Party Services We Use
CurrencyExc uses the following categories of third-party services that may process data about your visit:
4.1 Analytics

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties except in limited circumstances such as service providers, legal requirements, or business transfers.
Affiliate links
Some pages on CurrencyExc may contain affiliate links to third-party services (such as money transfer providers). If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up, we may receive a commission. Clicking an affiliate link does not share your personal data with us — the third-party service handles your data under their own privacy policy. All affiliate relationships are disclosed on the relevant pages.
