3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We value your trust and do not sell your personal data. We only share information under the following circumstances:

- Legal Obligations: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.
- With Your Consent: In any other situation where we have obtained your explicit permission.
International Transfers: As we serve a global community, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We ensure such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards as required by data protection laws.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your security is paramount. We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information:
- Encryption: We use industry-standard SSL encryption (the same that secures your payment) to protect data in transit.
- Limited Data Retention: We store your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
- Payment Security: We do not store your full credit card details on our servers. Payment data is handled by our secure, PCI-DSS compliant payment partners.
- Access Controls: We limit access to your personal data to employees and partners who need it to perform their jobs.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to upholding the highest standards.
