3. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may disclose your information in the following circumstances:

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration (e.g., encryption, secure server protocols, access controls). However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
