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

However, please understand that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We regularly review and update our security practices to maintain the highest level of protection possible.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly and take immediate steps to minimize any potential harm. We maintain incident response procedures and work with cybersecurity experts to ensure rapid detection and response to any security threats.
You have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct any inaccurate information, or request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal limitations. You also have the right to object to or restrict certain types of data processing.
If you are located in the European Union, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
