We use trusted third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to handle your transactions. Your payment information is transmitted directly to these processors and is not stored on our servers. All payment data is encrypted and processed in accordance with industry standards such as PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share your data in the following situations:

  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of the business. We will notify you of any such transfer and any new privacy policy that applies.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. The retention period may depend on the type of data and how it is used. For instance:

We implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. This includes encryption of sensitive information (such as payment details), secure servers, and access controls.

However, no system can be entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for keeping your account details secure, including maintaining a strong password and not sharing your login credentials.
