3. Data Security and Storage

The security of your data is important to us. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we aim to use strong security practices, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We take appropriate measures to ensure the security of your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We will utilize encryption protocols and security measures to store your information as securely as possible.

Do Not Track: We respect "Do Not Track" signals and will not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a "Do Not Track" mechanism is in place.
