We may share your information with our own personnel and service providers to the extent necessary to fulfill your requests, and we may share information with our affiliates.

Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, your personally identifiable information will not be sold to any third parties or used in any manner outside the scope of this policy without your prior approval.

We reserve the right to disclose your information when required by law or legal process, to cooperate with law enforcement or judicial authorities, to protect our own legal rights, or to protect the public good.

Section 05

We implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to safeguard your privacy. However, whenever you are online, you run the risk that information you provide may fall into the wrong hands.

We cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide to us and accept no responsibility or liability for the activities of third parties in this regard.

Section 06

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Our cookies fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary — Required for the website to function; cannot be disabled
  • Performance & Analytics — Count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve site performance

Third-Party Sites & Advertisers

When visiting our website, you may be directed through hyperlinks to other websites that are beyond our control. Furthermore, when you visit our site, other companies — such as third-party advertisers and sponsors — may gather information about you.

This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection of information by those other companies and websites. We encourage third parties to provide their own privacy policies, but we are not responsible for their activities or how they handle information they collect online.

Section 08

CCPA & GDPR Compliance

Certain laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), require that we inform covered individuals of the legal basis for our use and processing of personal information.

Our use of third-party cookies and other tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain state privacy laws. You can opt out of this through the cookie preference controls on our site.

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law, professional obligations, or to establish, defend, or protect our legal rights and interests.
