These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the purposes of providing services to us and are required to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

For Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse. Our security measures include encryption of sensitive data during transmission using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, secure storage of personal information on protected servers, regular security assessments and vulnerability testing, access controls that limit access to personal information to authorized personnel only, and employee training on data privacy and security practices.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

For customer account information, we retain your data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to enable us to respond to any follow-up inquiries or requests. For transaction records, we retain information for as long as required by applicable tax and accounting laws, which is typically seven (7) years from the date of the transaction. For marketing communications, we retain your email address and preferences until you unsubscribe or request deletion. For analytics data, we retain aggregated and anonymized usage data indefinitely for trend analysis and service improvement.

When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete or anonymize such information in accordance with our data retention schedules and applicable law.
