7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:
7.1 Vendors, Consultants & Other Service Providers
We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (“third parties”) who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.
We also may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
- Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
- Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.
- Business Partners: We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.
- Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers such as payment processors, hosting providers, and email service providers if need be.
These third parties have access to your personal data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
7.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your personal data if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
8. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our security measures include:
8.1 Technical Measures
- Encryption: Sensitive data is encrypted during transmission using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
- Access Controls: We implement strict access controls to limit access to personal data only to authorized personnel.
8.2 Organizational Measures
- Regular security assessments are conducted to identify vulnerabilities in our systems.
- Employees receive training on data protection practices and their responsibilities regarding personal data security.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
9. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy statement unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy statement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the intended period of need.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- 10.1 Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data that we hold about you.
- 10.2 Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information about you.
- 10.3 Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.

11. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
12. Changes to This Privacy Statement
We’re constantly trying to improve our Websites and Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Statement from time to time as well. We will inform you regarding material changes, for example, placing a notice on our websites when we are required to do so by applicable law. You can see when this Privacy Statement was last updated by checking the date at the top of this page. You are responsible for periodically reviewing this Privacy Statement.
