We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your information.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Our security measures include encrypted data transmission, secure server environments, regular security audits, and access controls that limit who can view your information.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to improve our security practices and respond quickly to any potential threats.

We regularly review and update our security procedures to ensure they meet current industry standards and regulatory requirements.
