5. Third-Party Services and Advertising

We may use third-party providers to support website hosting, analytics, advertising, payments, or other website functions, if those services are enabled.

These providers may process certain information according to their own privacy policies and the settings or permissions configured for our website.

If Google services, including Google Analytics or Google Ads, are used on our website, those services may use cookies or similar technologies to measure traffic, assess advertising performance, or deliver ads according to their configuration and applicable consent requirements.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with. We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

• To comply with valid legal obligations or lawful requests.
• To protect our website, customers, rights, or property.
• In connection with a business transfer, where legally permitted.

We do not state that we sell personal information. Our actual data-sharing practices and any applicable legal definitions will govern how information is handled.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

8. Data Security

We aim to use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
