4. Ensuring Website Security: Monitoring data collected on our website internally enables us to detect and mitigate any potential security threats or vulnerabilities, safeguarding both user information and the integrity of our systems.

5. Compliance with Regulations: By restricting the use of collected data to internal purposes only, we can ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States.
