We respect your privacy and do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our services—for example, payment processors, shipping carriers, email delivery platforms, IT hosting providers, and analytics partners.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement a variety of industry‑standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
