Data Protection
We prioritize the security of your personal information and implement a variety of security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure data storage solutions, encryption protocols, access controls, and regular security assessments to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Sharing of Data
We respect your privacy and do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties without your consent. However, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business and providing our services, as long as they agree to keep your information confidential. We may also disclose your information when required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property.

Retention of Data
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When your personal data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it to prevent unauthorized access.
International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—servers located outside of your country of residence. These locations may have different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your data to countries that may have less stringent data protection regulations. We take appropriate measures to safeguard your information during such transfers.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
