We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (“service partners”) who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. For example, we may work with a company to host our website. Our service partners will only use your information for the specific work they are doing for us and must keep your information private. We will ask our service partners to have privacy policies, but their use of your information is governed by their own policies, not ours. The categories of service providers we may share personal information with are as follows:

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies

We currently do not use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to collect, access, or store information. While we do not directly collect cookies through our Website, third parties, such as our website host or Google, may use tracking technologies on our Website.

A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer when you visit our Website. Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features on our Website or the services of our Services.

Do-Not-Track

We respect “Do Not Track” signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. However, we cannot guarantee that third-party services we use will honor DNT requests, so we encourage you to review their privacy policies for more information.

THE LENGTH OF TIME WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We understand the importance of keeping your personal information safe and secure. We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the reasons explained in this privacy notice. This may include legal or accounting requirements, but we will not keep your personal information for longer than needed to perform the Services and comply with any legal or professional obligations.

If we no longer have a legitimate reason to process your personal information, we will delete it or make it anonymous. If we are not able to delete it right away, we will securely store your personal information and keep it isolated from any further processing until we can delete it. This ensures that your information is protected and not used inappropriately.

PROTECTING YOUR INFORMATION

We process personal information when you visit, use, or navigate our Website and the Services, and the specific data we collect depends on how you interact with the Website and the Services, the choices you make, and the features you use. We value your privacy and do not process sensitive personal information, nor do we receive any information from third parties. However, in specific situations and with specific categories of third parties, we may share information.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
