4. Cookies
​
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, support analytics, measure campaign performance, and, where enabled, support advertising or social media features. Cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers, and the information collected may be associated with your browser, device, IP address, or other identifiers.
​
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar services, to understand how visitors use the website. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect or receive information from the website and elsewhere on the internet, and they may use that information to provide measurement services, generate reports, and improve their own services in accordance with their privacy policies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through any cookie preference tools provided on the website. If you disable cookies, some website features may not function as intended. Some browsers or extensions also allow you to send opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, which we will honor where required by applicable law.
​
5. Data Sharing
​
We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose personal information to service providers, vendors, and other third parties as described below. Where applicable law treats certain analytics, advertising, or similar disclosures as a “sale” or “sharing,” we provide the choices described in this Privacy Policy.
​
We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:
​
-
With website hosting, technology, analytics, security, customer support, email delivery, SMS delivery, marketing, and other service providers that process information on our behalf

In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate event, subject to appropriate protections where required
6. Data Retention
​
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal, accounting, tax, or reporting obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and preserve records of your privacy choices. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you. For example, marketing information is generally retained until you opt out or ask us to delete it, subject to maintaining suppression records, while analytics information is retained in accordance with the settings of the applicable analytics provider and our business needs.
​
7. Security
​
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards may include access controls, vendor oversight, and security procedures appropriate to the nature of the information. However, no website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
