We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:

3.1 Trusted Third-Party Service Providers

We engage reputable third parties to assist with business operations, and they may access your information only to perform specific tasks:

All third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than providing services to us.

3.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity (we will notify you of such a transfer via email or website notice).

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:
  • Encryption: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for data transmitted between your device and our website (indicated by "https://" and a padlock icon).
  • Secure Storage: Encrypted databases for sensitive information (e.g., passwords, truncated payment data).
  • Access Controls: Limited access to personal data by authorized personnel only, with training on data protection.
  • Regular Audits: Routine security assessments and updates to address emerging threats.
While we strive to protect your data, no online platform is 100% secure. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials (e.g., password) and not sharing them with others.
