5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing assistance. These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing services to us and are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation, court order, or legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services; (d) protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public; or (e) protect against legal liability.
With Your Consent: We may share your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to: encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols; access controls limiting who can access personal information within our organization; regular security assessments and vulnerability testing; secure data storage with backup and disaster recovery procedures; employee training on data protection and privacy best practices; and incident response plans to address any data breaches promptly.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for restricting access to your computer or device. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
7. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); and whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).
When we no longer need to retain your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable laws and our internal data retention policies.
