We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to.

How do we protect your information?
The security of your data is paramount to us. We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information:
- Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers, especially for sensitive information like payment details.
- Access Control: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information to process it for us and are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Regular Audits: Our systems are regularly scanned for security vulnerabilities and potential threats.
- Data Minimization: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.
- Data Retention: We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
