• Service Providers: We employ trusted third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing CRM software, email delivery). These providers have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

The security of your data is of paramount importance to us. We have instituted robust technical and organizational security measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

• Monitoring & Audits: We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we continually review our information collection, storage, and processing practices.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security over the internet.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
