We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, we may share information in the following circumstances:

We use reasonable and appropriate safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These safeguards may include access controls, encryption, secure hosting environments, logging, monitoring, and internal policies designed to limit data exposure.

While we work hard to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet and no system of storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for taking appropriate steps to secure your own devices and accounts.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of your relationship with us, our contractual obligations, and applicable legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we will delete, de-identify, or securely archive it in accordance with our internal retention practices.
