4. How and When We Share Your Information

Your privacy is paramount. We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • With Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party companies that help us operate our Site (e.g., email delivery services like Mailchimp, and analytics providers like Google Analytics). These partners are legally and contractually bound to protect your data and are only permitted to use it to provide services to us.
  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

5. Data Security and Retention

  • Security: We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information. This includes using SSL encryption, secure servers, and internal access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
  • Retention: We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. When your data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
