Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and use industry-standard measures to protect it. However, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

We also require our employees and service providers to adhere to strict security protocols and guidelines to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal information.

Despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us at [email protected].

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy statement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
